Where to Wash When Hot Water Is Out: A Summer Season Survival Guide

Relatives

And this option, on the contrary, is obvious. If you do not have hot water, it's time to remember that you really missed your loved ones living in another area.

What creative ways do you know about showering during hot water shutdown season?

Hot water, as you know, is turned off at the most inopportune moment, despite the fact that, as a rule, they warn about this in advance - they put up announcements in the entrances, publish a schedule on the official website of the Moscow Mayor. Summer, long walks around the city, cycling and much more cause an irresistible desire to wash. But there is nothing to do - you have to adapt. While some resort to kettles and basins to wash themselves, while others storm the apartments of friends, "VM" suggests approaching the issue in a more original way. In the end, these 10 hardest days of summer should also be spent with humor.

Fake laundry

For many it will be a revelation but the washing machine can be useful not only for washing clothes. Moreover, without hot water, you can even take a bath with it. We do not promise a paradise vacation, but you will really succeed in washing. To do this, direct the drain into the bath, set the temperature to high and start the wash with an empty drum (without clothes). The machine will warm water and eventually fill the bath hot water. The only recommendation is that you should not combine business with pleasure, namely, bathing and washing, for example, your favorite shirts, socks, or something else. We believe that after such an experiment, you will have to swim again.

Self-service mode

Take it and wipe it off

Everyone knows about the wiping method, but not everyone takes it seriously. But in vain. Cosmonauts, by the way, only resort to it. Wet wipes, wet towels (by the way, they can be soaked in useful solutions of chamomile, calendula, etc.) can save you from the epic with buckets for a while. As for hair, dry shampoos will come to the rescue.True, we advise you not to place high hopes on them - they work with varying degrees of success.

You will be helped

If finances allow, you can take a shower in paid places. For example, a fitness club, water park, sauna and so on. By the way, the historical toilet in GUM is also equipped with a shower; there are even all the necessary accessories for bathing. Even turning off hot water can inspire you to a new haircut or hairstyle - in a word, to go to the hairdresser, where you will have your hair washed before the procedure. The main thing is not to get carried away in ten days without hot water and not turn from a long-haired nymph into the owner of a square.

In Moscow, the activities of saunas and fitness clubs are regularly monitored for the provision of low-quality or dubious services to residents

Outdoor shower

If you have not been able to get out to the country for a long time, now is the time to put aside all your business and go out of town. And if there are problems with hot water there, then it's time to install an outdoor shower on the site. You can buy a small booth in a store or build it yourself. Install a tank on the roof, the water in which will be heated in the sun. It is better to pour water in the morning so that it has time to warm up for the whole day. But just in case, tune in to hardening or read more carefully about the wiping method above - the capital cannot boast of hot weather now.

Time to boil

Most urban residents have long forgotten about the boiler. And he, by the way, can help out in such a difficult life moment as 10 days without hot water. It is enough to take a bath of cold water (but do not fill it to the top, otherwise you will have to wait a long time) and immerse the boiler. After a while, the water will become much warmer.Just do not forget to keep an eye on the device - you can bring trouble.

Hot summer day in Moscow

And finally - if you need to bathe a child, take him for a walk in the Muzeon park, where the baby can splash in a dry fountain. Or rub it with something tasty - your cat, which is perfectly able to do without hot water, will be very grateful to you!

In the midst of a water cut in Moscow, The Village decided to find out about the most expensive and cheapest ways to wash. We considered places from three categories: baths and saunas, hotels and apartments, swimming pools and fitness clubs. Let's talk about what we found.

"Wash" at half price

“In our center there is a great opportunity to go to the bathhouse or just take a shower. It is advisable to register for a visit in advance, at least one day in advance. This is necessary so that we have time to buy soap, and indeed it was free. The only condition is that you can’t use a broom in the sauna,” says Yulia Chaplygina, head of the Kesklinna district center.

According to Julia, the sauna is not very popular now, as a bathhouse has been opened on Raua. The price there is not much higher, but there are more opportunities. Despite this, the sauna in the social center is reserved at least 6-8 times a week.

“Pensioners from our center like to celebrate their birthday in the sauna. Of course, we don’t allow alcohol to be brought with us, but you are welcome to get together with a company, ”adds Yulia.

Indeed, you don’t go to the bathhouse at home, but how are things going with the shower? In the social center for pensioners there are various sports activities, dancing. After them, they just use the shower. Although most often they still choose a sauna, as they can wash and take a steam bath.The cost of the sauna is small, and pensioners love this business.

According to Yulia Chaplygina, most often the same pensioners go to the shower or sauna every time. Many have already developed their own bathing traditions. For example, once a month they traditionally gather in a bathhouse. So, for someone to come just from the street to wash, there is no such thing, although the institution is open to everyone.

Tariffs without a meter

There is another version of the water shutdown, "informal". Not only the old fund is disconnected from hot water, but also new buildings in which all pipes have just been installed. The problem may lie in the tariffs. Two weeks are not included in the tariff for hot water cubes, which is why there is a shutdown.

In 2011, the director of the Omsk branch of TGK-11 Viktor Gaak let slip: “... in general, there are networks that we do not repair every year. We can turn them off for a week or two days. And we can not turn off at all. But the tariff without a meter provides that the water should be turned off for two weeks. And if individual metering devices were installed everywhere, then representatives of some "UK" or "HOA" could turn to us with a request not to turn off the hot water without the need.

Pools and fitness clubs

The most expensive

15 000 rubles

How much will a guest visit to the Royal Wellness Club on Kutuzovsky Prospekt cost? The price includes unlimited stay in the gym, swimming pool and sauna complex during the day. You can get here only if the current member of the club issues an invitation. Guest visits to the World Class Romanov (7,200 rubles) and the Golden Mile fitness club (7,000 rubles) will cost almost twice as much.

The 360 ​​TV channel learned how to wash yourself without using the “boiling” method.

The most obvious way to wash without hot water is to boil cold water and splash around with the help of basins and pots. But the mere thought that you will have to live in this mode for a week or two brings melancholy. Alternative methods of survival without hot water - in our selection.

Historical toilet in GUM

You can take a shower in the center of the capital. Marble walls, bronze lamps with Murano glass. To wash in the interiors, restored according to pre-revolutionary models, is offered in GUM. For 500 rubles you will get a bathrobe, towel, slippers, body care products and, of course, vivid impressions. A great alternative to a home bath.

Shower room at the railway station

Almost every railway station has a paid shower. For example, on Leningradsky for half an hour they will take 150 rubles from a visitor if they have their own toiletries. If you use the Russian Railways set, the cost will increase to 280 rubles.

shower and tea

There is a cozy place not far from Chistye Prudy. One of the two bathrooms of the anti-cafe "Green Door" has a shower. The institution operates on the principle of time is money. The first hour - three rubles per minute. After a shower, you can drink tea and read a book, which are already included in the price of the visit.

Shower and sports

You can wash in any gym or fitness center. They are in every area, so you don’t have to go far in search of hot water. A club card is optional, it is enough to pay a one-time visit - from 200 to 2,000 rubles, depending on the category of the hall. By the way, on the eve of summer, it would be nice to pump up the muscles, maybe turning off the hot water will wake up your craving for physical education.

Space "shower"

There is another way to fight for purity for the laziest - space. A weightless shower has not yet been invented, so the crew members wipe themselves with wet wipes - one for soaping, the other for rinsing. At home, you can use a wet towel. And for hair, a “dry” shampoo is suitable, which does not require rinsing. The tool costs an average of 200 rubles.

Soul of the Inventor

You can heat water using a washing machine. Yes, here it is - folk ingenuity. Choose a fast mode with boiling (naturally, without powder and linen). Direct the drain to the bathroom. The machine will heat the water and drain it. But in this case, things will not do without buckets and basins.

The standards of cleanliness and personal hygiene adopted in a civilized society are no joke. They are sewn into the mind of a person from the first day of his life. And therefore, the planned shutdown of hot water in the summer is not just a household discomfort, but something more that greatly complicates life. But there is a way out! And not even one. Best Practice solutions and original ideas especially for you.

Complaint about the lack of hot water and cold water in Moscow

Increasingly, it happens that public utilities violate the rules for supplying resources and do not promptly respond to the problem. It is in these cases that you need to know which inspections a citizen can complain to.

The list includes:

• housing office;
• GZhI;
• Vodokanal;
• HOA management;
• Rospotrebnadzor.

However, this is an incomplete list of instances through which you can restore justice and write a complaint.

Responsible authorities

It does not matter who provides the services - a public housing or a commercial management company, a claim for poor-quality supply of hot water or cold water must be written to the Housing Office at the place of residence.You can submit a claim letter in person and via the Internet.

The application shall prescribe the legislative norms that have been violated and the evidence. Lawyers advise sending collective complaints, as they are considered faster due to priority

You can submit a claim letter in person and via the Internet. The application shall prescribe the legislative norms that have been violated and the evidence. Lawyers advise sending collective complaints, as they are considered faster due to priority.

Sample collective application for the management company.

Filing a claim through the State Services website

If cold, rusty water comes out of the tap or is absent at all, and the public utilities do not react in any way to the statements of citizens, the Housing Office will issue a warning to the resource supplier and impose penalties.

Filing a claim online is a more convenient option.

Algorithm

The appeal is accepted only if the person has a verified account. In all other cases, the site is informational.

Step-by-step algorithm of actions:

1. Go to the "Submit an appeal or complaint" tab.
2. State the essence of the claim and click on the "send" button.

To make a complaint correctly, use the sample complaint about problems with hot water supply.

With the same document, you can contact the supervisory authorities during a personal visit.

Recalculation of payment for hot water and cold water

If the excess on disconnection of hot water and cold water occurs for several hours, then every 60 minutes - minus 0.15% of the total amount in the payment receipt. If the water is poorly heated, then the billing for it should be considered as cold, and at low pressure for each hour, the consumer has the right to pay 0.1% less than in the receipt.

So that the next month the public utilities do not charge a penalty for paying a smaller amount, you need to write an application to the management company or housing office. To do this, it is enough to draw up a paper and send it to the service provider.

You can download an application for recalculation of DHW here.

Public utilities do not have the right to turn off water without reason. In addition, the time period and de-energization rules must be observed. In the absence of a resource, for a start it is worth calling the operator of the dispatch office and the emergency line to clarify the situation.

To protect the interests of the consumer, it is recommended to send a claim. You can complain not only to government departments, but also directly to the Criminal Code. When the disconnection is carried out by law, the citizen retains the right to apply for the recalculation of utility bills.

Two in one: swimming pools, gyms, fitness centers

In any decent sports club there are showers so that visitors after grueling workouts can clean themselves up. In sports clubs with a pool, there are always showers - this is the standard norm: you need to wash in them before visiting, so as not to pollute the water inside the hydraulic structure. After swimming, it is not necessary to wash, but it is desirable - the water in the pools comes with the addition of bleach, and you should not leave traces of it on the skin. If you have been planning to go in for sports for a long time, but it still didn’t work out, purchasing a subscription will be the best solution: you can wash yourself, pump up your muscles, and strengthen your health.

But there are disadvantages:

• Showers and locker rooms in sports clubs, as a rule, meet all the canons of catholicity. You will not find any individual cabins.At best, small partitions separating the shower heads, without a hint of a door. But even they may not be. You will have to take off your clothes and wash for all to see.

• If you do not gravitate towards sports, buying a subscription just for the sake of washing will be expensive.

Go to the sauna

There are six municipal baths in Yekaterinburg, where you can wash yourself comfortably and for little money. But, as a rule, they have a strict schedule that cannot be violated.

For one session from one and a half to two hours in the most famous public baths - EMUP "Bodrost" - you will have to pay from 117 to 158 rubles. in a regular branch and 470 rubles. two hours in the deluxe department.

Vigor has several branches, but in the summer only baths at Pervomaiskaya, 71, Proyezzhaya, 173a and Skiers, 38a are open. The latter has been closed on Fridays since June 1, on other days - according to the schedule. In addition, from July 18, the men's section is being renovated, so that on certain days men will be able to wash in the women's section.

The second network of public baths - EMUP Zhemchuzhina - has three branches. Baths at 22 Party Congress, 6 and Dolores Ibarruri, 6 are open from Wednesday to Sunday; on Stachek, 29 - on all days except Tuesday and Wednesday.

Baths and saunas

The most expensive

28 000 rubles per hour

(minimum time is three hours)

This is how much it costs to rent the Versailles hall in the Tazik Club complex. In addition to the Russian steam room, Turkish hammam and swimming pool, there is a banquet hall, a recreation area with a home theater and a game console, billiards, a hookah room and a massage room. The maximum capacity is 30 people. Each is given terry dressing gowns and towels, slippers and hats according to the "standards of a five-star hotel." On the site, the places report that they are very careful about the privacy of customers: the club regularly conducts preventive measures to search for bugs in the premises and will not mind if the guests' own specialists do this.

The cheapest

500 rubles per hour

(minimum time is two hours)

This price is offered by Sauna Tri-U club in Bibirevo. You can choose one of three rooms - "Small Hall", "Rendezvous" or "Romance". The price includes a dressing gown, towels, disposable slippers and shower accessories for two people.The same is the cost of renting a relaxation room in the sauna at Baikalskaya, 31, and a room for two in the sauna "Sweat like a king."

We heat our own water

If heating basins, ladles, pots and buckets of water is categorically unacceptable for you (although this method of washing is in the lead compared to the rest), there are other solutions to the issue.

Heating water in pans is not a good idea

With water heater

The advantage of purchasing a water heater is obvious - hot water at any time. But there are also disadvantages that differ depending on the type of water heater:

• Storage water heaters heat well and maintain the desired water temperature, but they take up a lot of space and do not fit into the interior in the best way. In a small apartment, it is not always possible to install a boiler with a volume of 50–80 liters.
• The instantaneous water heater is easy to install and takes up much less space. But the heating temperature depends on the pressure of the water: the larger it is, the less time the water has to warm up and may turn out to be barely warm, instead of hot.

Boiler

Using a boiler to heat water today can already be called an old-fashioned way. Water takes a long time to heat up. For example, using a bucket boiler, it will take at least an hour to heat a standard bath. But the process can be accelerated by using multiple devices.

Three boilers will heat the water in the bath in 20 minutes

Washing machine to help

Using hot water from a washing machine for bathing is not a standard solution. However, it is comfortable to use this method only if the washing machine is located directly next to the bath.

What we do:

1. We find the place where the drain hose of the washing machine is connected to the sewer system.And turn it off (pull it out of the connector).

2. We shift the now free end of the hose to the bottom of the tub. Don't forget to plug the drain.
3. We start the washing machine without powder and dirty things.
4. We are waiting for the water to heat up.
5. And we first press the button for an emergency stop of the process, and then the forced drain. Everything. Water is poured into the bath.

Go visit

Ask your friends: perhaps in another area of ​​the city the hot water has already been turned on or has not been turned off yet. There is water - come to visit (preferably with a cake) and ask for a shower.

If you didn’t find such friends, and a bathhouse and a fitness center don’t suit you, rent an apartment by the day or for a few hours in a house with your own boiler room. You can search for such apartments, for example, on Avito.

Smart people buy apartments in the right new buildings, where their own boiler room is installed - and no one depends on pressure testing. For example, LSR Group is building such a residential complex "Crystal Keys" on Latviyskaya Street. Two of the six houses of the residential complex have already been commissioned, the construction of the third house is underway, the developer plans to hand it over in the fourth quarter of 2018.

The LCD "Crystal Keys" has its own cascade gas boiler, located on the roof of the house. It consists of 32 small domestic boilers, and if one of them fails, specialists will be able to replace it without paralyzing the work of the boiler house. According to the press service of LSR Group, the power of the boiler house can range from 40 kilowatts to 2.9 megawatts - in case of cold weather, residents can increase the temperature of the batteries, in case of warming - lower it. You can adjust the temperature online using your mobile phone.

In the residential complex "Crystal Keys" the boiler room is located directly on the roof of the house

In addition, own boiler room allows you to save on utilities. For example, residents of a one-room apartment of 40 sq. m in the first house of the LCD "Crystal Keys" payment for heating in December 2016 amounted to less than 900 rubles.

DHW and cold water shutdown rates in 2020

1. The maximum number of hours per month for which water supply can be interrupted is 8 hours (total time). The duration of one shutdown should not exceed 4 hours.
2. If we talk about the supply of hot water, then the total blackout cannot be more than 8 hours.
3. When a major overhaul of pipes is provided, the public utilities are obliged to warn consumers of an apartment building, district or village two weeks in advance. Most often, the duration of such works does not exceed five days.
4. If an emergency occurs, then according to the norms it is allowed to block the flow of water for a period of not more than two weeks. This period is considered the maximum, and it also applies to summer preventive work.
5. When diverting or reconnecting, eight hours per month are provided, so the housing office staff must plan in advance.

To the gym not for sports

A good alternative to saunas in social centers and public baths are baths in sports centers. Here you can go in for sports, and go to the shower, and warm up in the bathhouse.

“Yes, they only come here to wash and take a steam bath! There is a whole company of grannies who come to the sports club once a week. They buy a visit to the pool, and the pool itself has probably never been seen before. They hang out for a couple of hours. First a steam bath, then a regular one. Get steamy, wash up, and go home, ”says an employee of the sports club, who wished to remain anonymous.

Such services are offered by absolutely all sports clubs, from the most elite to gyms that are in every district of the city.

The prices for pensioners in most sports centers are quite pleasant, it is always clean there and you can find a company.

In general, if you go to the pool, and even a couple of times a week, then at home the faucet in the bathroom can not be turned on at all.

Reasons for de-energizing hot water and cold water

Most often, the consumer does not know that a power outage is planned. Moscow is a big city and there are often cases when the supply of hot water and cold water is carried out unscheduled. This may be due to an accident or emergency repairs. In any case, the citizen suffers first and often don't know if not water, where to call in Moscow.

There are urgent reasons that require no warning. However, for such cases, specific periods of time are prescribed, during which the public utilities must correct the situation. Utilities are required to comply with water shutdown regulations and notify in advance of an unscheduled interruption in the supply of a resource.

No housing office or management company has the right to appoint a shutdown for the autumn, spring or winter period. For this, there is a summer when people go on vacation and stopping the supply of hot water will not cause serious inconvenience.

To find out the reason why there is no hot water, in Moscow in 2020 you need to call the emergency line at the number: 8-800-700-40-70. Cool-center operators will point out the reasons for the lack of water supply.

The following situations are common:

• accident;
• overhaul;
• pipe cleaning;
• connection of new objects;
• housing problems.

Public utilities are required to notify users 10 days before the start of work. The only exceptions are emergency situations.

Watch the video: “Where to complain if the water in the house was turned off outside the plan.”

Where can you shower if your hot water is turned off?

Own bathroom

Even though the hot water has been turned off, you still have the opportunity to wash yourself at home. To do this, you will have to use a fleet of kitchen utensils in the form of one small pot with a handle and one or two large ones. Boil water in large pots, dilute it with cold in a basin to the optimum temperature and pour yourself with a ladle.

Underwater rocks

• Increased noise from rattling pots
• There is no possibility of meditation during the process

Friends bathroom

One of the popular options in case of a hot water outage is to go to wash with friends or family. So you can strengthen old acquaintances and wash in familiar home conditions. However, this option is hardly suitable for inveterate introverts, in whom all friends do not live alone.

• habitual conditions
• Opportunity to see friends/family

The pool is perhaps the only full-fledged life hack on our list. This option allows you to disguise washing as an attempt to improve your physical condition. You can enjoy your 45 minutes and then think for a long time, philosophize in the shower, even after everyone has left.

During the summer most of the pools are closed, but the largest ones continue to work. In Moscow, these are Olimpiysky, Chaika, Moskvich and others.

• The water meter is not your concern
• Opportunity to improve physical fitness

Public bath or sauna

Baths in Moscow have almost died out during the democracy, although they experience an influx of visitors during the season of hot water shutdowns. Saunas are popular all year round - here they relax with friends, with girlfriends, hold negotiations. Choose a trip to the bath or sauna if you want variety. Take friends to drink beer with them during the process.

Underwater rocks

Lake or river

Our ancestors bathed in natural reservoirs, who also did not have hot tap water. So God himself ordered us to follow this path. Choose a cleaner pond, take soap, a washcloth and arrange a Neptune day for yourself. If you are cleaner at the exit than at the entrance, then the enterprise has succeeded. It remains only in a week or two to be checked by an infectious disease specialist.

The need for invention is cunning, so these methods are not the only ones that can help quench your thirst for cleanliness during the absence of hot water. Cleanliness of the body is one of the factors of high self-esteem and well-being.

Also pay attention to the list of appearance mistakes that repel women, or a set of tips on what to do with ruble savings in light of the financial crisis - a topic that has been especially relevant recently.

Prevention and inspection of pipes

According to RosTeple (yes, there is such an organization), the main reason for turning off hot water in the summer is to check pipes and heating mains for damage. High pressure water is supplied to the sites, fixing the condition of the pipes. If damage is found, the site will be repaired. And summer was chosen in order to prevent accidents during the heating season (when the networks are operated to the maximum). The logic is that it is better to sit for a couple of weeks without hot water in the summer than to freeze in the winter.

Such a system is a legacy of the USSR, where they counted on huge reserves of coal, water and fuel, and therefore it is possible to drive hot water for many kilometers to any area from huge thermal power plants. But taking into account the temperature difference in the street (from -40 to +35), the pipes are quickly deformed. The system is checked by districts, and therefore the water is turned off according to schedules.

Cold water is not turned off because the wear of cold water supply lines is much lower, so there is no point in a long shutdown. Cold water is usually only when some kind of accident is already happening. By the way, the permissible time for the absence of cold water is seven hours during one month or four hours at a time, and in case of serious breakdowns or accidents on dead-end highways - one day.

Why is hot water not turned off in Europe? Because there is a completely different system for providing hot water. Central hot water supply is typical only for post-Soviet cities. In almost the rest of the world, there is only cold water supply, and there are often backup pipelines for it, which are used during maintenance or repair. Boiler rooms are made either for each house, or boilers are used.

Standards for turning off hot water

The management company cannot arbitrarily turn off the hot water supply. This is a direct violation, which is evidenced by legislative acts.

Hot water shutdown standards:

Reasons and grounds

The permissible duration of a hot water interruption is a maximum of two weeks. It will be legal if the public utilities have a reason. The organization has the right to turn off the water supply at any time during an accident.

There are also secondary reasons:

1. Public service error.
2. Self-destruction.
3. Emergency situation on intra-house communications.
4. Emergency outside the MKD.
5. Natural disasters.

In what cases is a DHW shutdown considered an emergency?

The maximum term for turning off hot water according to the law is 14 days. Most often, the termination of the supply occurs in emergency cases.

An emergency blackout allows you to minimize the damage caused by a pathogenic situation, for example:

• pipe leakage;
• damage to the water supply system;
• breakthrough in the highway;
• fire;
• wrong connection.

If communal services are turned off, then information on the duration of the repair can be found through the management company. The UK is a supplier for MKD, but it takes the resource from Vodokanal. It happens that the reason is connected with the main RSO.

Shutdown of hot water supply in winter and summer

Permissible interruption in hot water supply

During the summer, they have the right to turn off hot water in case of scheduled repairs or maintenance work. Many management companies prescribe system diagnostics during the warm season, when most residents go on vacation or relax in their dachas.

Actions will be legal if the owners of an apartment building or village were notified in advance using notifications. The company must do this ten days before the start of work. The Criminal Code is also required to put up an announcement announcing that prevention will be carried out.

Permissible interruption in DHW supply

Some people do not know how long it is possible to turn off hot water according to the law and begin to write complaints to the Criminal Code.

In order not to be unfounded, it is worth considering the sannorms on this issue:

Each management company is obliged to comply with these standards.
