    This is why the Internet is the best tool at our disposal. So much educational content on here for everyone to learn. Thank You for this amazing content.
  • From a guy that has built close to 100 houses, this was a great summary of the residential plumbing system!
  • Man, modern plumbing is amazing. I’m so grateful I live in a day and age where this is a underrated reality.
  • @steverogers2603
    This was in my recommendations for some reason. Not being much of a handyman I didn’t expect to get much from it. Great video! I watched it twice then subscribed. I’m ready to learn from your videos.

    Saw a funny bumper sticker one time on a plumbers van... it said " if it wasn't for plumbers you'd have nowhere to go"
  • @LoeNateDogg
    Man humans are smart. We think of every scenario and decades of research, engineering and trial and error
  • In New Zealand, if you're not on municipal water supply, you typically collect rainwater from the roof and store it in big tanks set on the ground, then use a pump to feed it into the house. Some farms the a few rural houses will use bores (wells) for water supply, but much more common to re-use rainwater.

    Hands down the best plumbing video for beginners
  • @MO-tp8lh
    My 5 year old asked me where the water (and other stuff 😂) goes… we watched this together. Great video!!
  • @jvillalaz44
    I really learned something from watching this video. I live in an established neighborhood. My home was built in 1922 and it's a Craftsman style. When walking I always see the different types of homes and systems they have. You've answered some questions about the drain system.
  • @rossmiller4228
    As a general idiot when it comes to plumbing, thanks very much!!! In 2012, I bought a house that was built in the 50's. You did a fabulous job of explaining everything. Generally I am a DIY person. This house had a lot of galvanized piping, when I purchased it. For the most part I have converted it to pex. I love pex as it's easy to transport and to install. However, you also make me feel like the few times that I have spent huge money on a plumber, when I thought things were well above my expertise, it was money well spent. Thanks again for the fabulous tutorial. Two thumbs up sir.
  • @DJizLurch
    I don’t even know how I stumbled on this video but I know watching the first couple of seconds of it I definitely was intrigued because I never thought how does my home plumbing work. Great video and great detail explanation. Appreciate the time that you put into this!
  • All my life I was wondering how the plumbing system worked. You just cleared up my mental fog in your short video (7 minutes). I feel like a kid who just learned the alphabet or the multiplication tables. LOL - TAV ❤ 🇺🇸 🌎 👍
  • @Ayeooh
    Very simple to understand, with everything explained properly, thanks man!
  • @somewhereone
    I absorb a lot of knowledge about a wide variety of things from YouTube videos. I hold people like you in the highest respect! I am currently plumbing my house and you are just the guy I was hoping to find and learn from. It does make a difference in the way I choose to absorb information knowing that is comes from a seasoned professional. I might have a question or three along the way. I hope you don't mind if I reach out and ask you about something. Soon, I will be demolishing the cast iron stack and replacing it with PVC parts. Any advice for this is warmly welcomed. I have been the assistant for this task only one time in my life and now I know enough to be very dangerous!
  • @philnguyen3048
    I've been doing software development for over 20 years and always interested in getting into the plumbing business. Thanks for your awesome fundamental plumbing system video.
  • I really appreciate you adding all the extra bits. Never thought of it before but definitely as a future home buyer I will research how to better manage rain-water to my benefit without it disrupting the municipal storage! Thankyou!
