Many homeowners have a passing understanding of plumbing systems. We understand where to get water. We often don’t understand where our water comes from, options for in-home components or where our water goes.
This lack of understanding increases our utility bills, wastes water, wastes our time, shortens fixture life, reduces appliance performance, and risks significant damage from system failures.
