Great, informative video 🙂 Must watch by all home owners

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.
-
Man humans are smart. We think of every scenario and decades of research, engineering and trial and error

“I will never look at water the same” “Sips”

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"
-
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.

My 5 year old asked me where the water (and other stuff 😂) goes… we watched this together. Great video!!

Plumbing...the most underrated job,of the universe....

Now I am a certified plumber

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 ❤ 🇺🇸 🌎 👍

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.

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.

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.

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!
-
I always enjoy how direct and informative your videos are. Thank you for not beating around the bush.
-
Hands down the best plumbing video for beginners
-
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!

Great Video. Loved every second and learnt a lot. Quick note: in cases where water is supplied by a well, it's usually pumped into a storage tank. The tank is usually on the same level as the house or higher. this allows a consistent supply and pressure in the event of a power outage.
