<p><em><strong>DIY Stuff you can do to extend your faucet.</strong></em> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/joeshlabotnik/2881872151/">(Photo Credits)</a></p>
<p>When you have kids in the house, you may find the need to have a faucet with a longer reach so you would not have to lift them up every now and then for them to reach the faucet without over extending their tiny arms.</p>
<p>So what can you do?</p>
<p>Lifehacker India shared an idea. “How shall we make it? Take the lotion bottle and cut the main body in such a way that there is no bottom to it. Make sure that the mouth of the bottle is wide enough to have your faucet inserted in it. What now? Use the sandpaper to soften the edges of the bottle so that there is no risk of cuts or injuries. Now insert the bottle over the faucet in such a way that the mouth of the bottle fits right below the faucet from where the water would flow; it would then directly flow into your kids’ hands and they would not need to be picked up by you all the time for having their hands washed.” <a href="https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.display?id=414&tab=description">OSHA Plumbers</a><strong><br /></strong></p>
<p>Take a look at the photo <a href="http://www.lifehacker.co.in/jugaad/DIY-Faucet-Extender/articleshow/45891633.cms">here.</a></p>
<h2>Make it work</h2>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing">Plumbing Info</a> Another great hack that was published was this pool noodle hack featured over at quirkyfeeds.com.</p>
<p>“This video by the Crazy Russian Hacker showcases some innovative ways of using a pool noodle. These fun noodles are very inexpensive and come at about $3 to $5 a pop and are available at most sporting goods stores. Some of the lifehacks such as making a dog bed using an old sweater and dispensing water from a tricky sink are very useful.”</p>

<p>But what if you do not need to extend your faucet but you need to clean it from hard water stains?</p>
<p>The DIY Village shared an easy way to get rid of these stains. “ I’m embarrassed to say that I haven’t taken care of this issue sooner, but I haven’t until now! When we moved into our home I noticed the faucet handle on the master bath shower was gunky. It’s one of those things you know you need to do but just don’t want to deal with. I dreaded the idea of soaking the faucet handle in some type of cleaner that was going to stink and then still having to scrub.”</p>

<p>There is more to PVC pipes than its usual intended use which is basically for plumbing.</p>
<p>MarthaStewart.Com for instance shared in one of its posts, how to make a very chic Christmas tree out of extra PVC pipes. <a href="https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.display?id=414&tab=description">OSHA Plumbers </a></p>
<p>“Every little thing you love — from teensy toys to mismatched collections of vintage holiday items — has a home on this tree. Start by choosing a palette (we picked bright, happy colors), then fill pipes accordingly: We spray-painted plastic toy animals, spelled out joy and merry with letter magnets, and interspersed tiny wrapped presents, Advent calendar-style. Play around with the placement until you like the overall look (avoid grouping similar objects).”</p>

<p>“Large packs of wool turned into thick yarn can help you craft a giant, fluffy blanket. Some wool batting laid out in rows to give a uniform thickness is all that you need for the yard. The rolled up yarn when washed, lightly felt, followed by being air dried outside can be the building ground of an ultra-warm cover. This huge blanket is made by knitting with extra-large knitting needles, which are actually large PVC pipes yielding big, lovely stitches to create the illusion of making everything under the blanket look too tiny.”</p>

<p>British researchers have found a way to convert urine into energy using a male urinal.</p>
<p>Science Alert says the energy found in pee is enough to charge a mobile phone. “Researchers in the UK have created a urinal that converts pee directly into electricity. The technology uses a set of microbial fuel cells (MFC), which contain tiny organisms that survive by breaking down urine and producing electricity as a byproduct.</p>
<p>An earlier model of the urinal was shown to successfully charge up a mobile phone, a stunt that made headlines back in 2013. But the team from the University of the West of England in Bristol, UK, wanted to find a more practical use for the technology, and is now working with Oxfam with the aim of lighting up refugee camps at night using nothing but urine.”</p>

<h2><em>Not Happy</em></h2>
<p>Not everyone though is happy about the existence of urinals. <a href="https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.display?id=414&tab=description">OSHA Plumbers </a></p>
<p>One opinion Ed published by The Guardian basically questioned why urinals have to exist and why males should urinate in the presence of other males. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing">Plumbing Info</a></p>
<p>“Whether trough or bowl, the urinal subjects a man to the most wretched of indignities, to which we have become so inured that any deviation from the norm is considered effete. The urinal is inconsistent with civilisation: there is something barbarous about expecting men to expose themselves and carry out such a tender operation before others, especially while maintaining conversations with ostentatiously unembarrassed neighbours. And don’t give me that “it’s just a natural bodily function” nonsense: you don’t leave the door open when you’re in the cubicle, do you? (Do you … ?).”</p>

Brae Carnes, 23, is posting photos of herself in men’s toilets to protest a proposed law that would make it illegal for trans women to use female bathrooms. ‘As a trans woman I’m not even safe from discrimination at the pub or public transit. What’s going to happen if I’m forced into a men’s changeroom?,’ she wrote on Facebook.The Victoria resident said it is uncomfortable for everyone when she enters a men’s bathroom, and she looks completely out of place applying lipstick and posing for mirror selfies while men urinate in the background.”</p>

<p>Every homeowner must have at least a basic knowledge on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC">HVAC</a>, how it works, and what to look and watch out for.</p>
<p>Huffington Post shared a very informative article for those looking to buy a new home, and would need a bit of information on HVAC Systems.</p>
<p><strong>“</strong>But finding the right house isn’t always easy to do. Often times, buying your first home can be a confusing process filled with uncertainty and hidden costs that don’t surface until months or even years later. HVAC equipment is often one of those hidden costs. If you’ve been a renter all of your life, you probably haven’t had to worry much about dealing with heating and air conditioning issues — except for letting in the HVAC technician when a problem arises. On average, a new furnace can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $12,000 and an AC unit could cost $3,500 to $10,000. If you are looking for a new home, it’s important to consider the age and quality of the HVAC system so that you don’t end up spending thousands of dollars in extra repairs or unit replacements.”</p>

<p>Deep wells are very helpful, yet mysterious at times. Anything could drop in it, or fall on unto it and it could be difficult to get back up. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing">Plumbing Info</a></p>
<p>Just like this puppy rescued by firefighters. Yahoo.com reported that a Labrador pup fell into the deep hole. “The homeowners told Cherokee County Fire Department spokesman Tim Cavender they saw the stray yellow Labrador and a black Labrador the day before. The next morning, they were awoken by the black Lab barking before they discovered the yellow pup down in the well. ‘I don’t think anyone knows how it got down there for sure, but right now we’re guessing it just fell in,’ Cavender said. The rescue team was able to set up their tripod device and send firefighter Brendan O’Brian 75 feet down. He came back up with the puppy in his arms and firefighters gave it oxygen.”</p>

<h2>Rescue effort</h2>
<p>A man meantime jumped into a 60-feet well to rescue a cow. <a href="https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.display?id=414&tab=description">OSHA Plumbers </a> “Mohammad Zaki, a 20-year-old from Lucknow jumped into a 60-feet-deep well to rescue a cow without thinking twice.</p>
<p>While many just stood and watched, Zaki without thinking twice jumped in to well to save it. He said that he went inside the well only to save a suffering life. The cow was suffocating and panicking. It hit Zaki on his leg, which is still swollen. He strapped the cow from under the stomach to the crane harness and sat on top of it. He chose to do so to avoid the risk of the cow falling over him, in case things went wrong.”</p>

<p>For most homeowners, removing hard water stains – wherever it may have set in – is a pesky chore. But apparently, it does not need to much of an effort, and that you do not have to purchase expensive stain removers! <a href="https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.display?id=414&tab=description%20Watch%20the%20video%20here." target="_blank">OSHA Plumbers</a></p>
<p>Bitzandgiggles.com in fact shared that all you need to remove these stains is a pumice stone. “My best advice is just to clean the toilet more often and use the toilet more often. The two seem to go hand-in-hand, don’t you think? Many of you may be asking, where do I find a pumice stone? Well, these babies are often used in pedicures and clear away the rough, dead skin from your feet. This post is getting better and better, isn’t it? Try the nail polish/foot care aisle of your local drugstore or discount retailer. They aren’t difficult to find! Best of luck to you and your toilet bowl. I can guarantee that once you try this, you will be amazed at the results. It’s takes literally minutes and I promise that the pumice stone will not scratch a porcelain surface. It’s funny how something so natural can clean better than some of the harshest cleansers out there. But it just goes to show you how helpful a piece of hardened lava foam can truly be!”</p>

<p>CutePuppyLove.com meantime shared yet another household staple that could help in removing hardwater stains from the toilet. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing">Plumbing Info</a></p>
<p>“There are so many uses for vinegar, but I had never thought of using it to get rid of hard water stains in a toilet… I’ll never let my toilet get to that point, but when we bought our house, we had to change our toilet bowls that were really badly stained… Had I known this then, well… we could have saved a lot of money!”</p>

<p><strong>“</strong>Mineral stains can leave the toilet bowl looking brown and rusty. But you don’t have to get rid of the toilet. Just take a little time to do some cleaning. You’re going to want to make sure you have a plunger handy, as well as a towel, a scrub brush, and the secret ingredient revealed in the video (don’t worry — it’s not expensive and is likely one you already have in your house). Oh, and you’ll need some toilet paper, but we’re guessing you already have that! Pretty awesome to see the toilet come out good as new!”</p>

<p>You use a faucet to get water to clean stuff, but have you ever gave it a though as to how to clean your own faucet?</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing">Plumbing </a> Centsablemama.com shared how to clean hard water stains off a chrome faucet. “I just soaked a paper towel in distilled white vinegar, wrapped it around the worst area and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Then, I used an old toothbrush to get in those hard to reach spots and get the gunk out. You can use the vinegar-soaked paper towel to clean the rest of the faucet that doesn’t need to soak since vinegar is perfect for getting rid of water spots. This method also works great for getting that hard water crust from the bottom of the faucet where it meets the counter.”</p>

<h2>Hard water, not hard to clean.</h2>
<p>The website Worthy Tales shared yet another technique on how to remove hard water stains on faucets. <a href="http://www.phccsd.org/">Plumbing Association of San Diego </a></p>
<p>“Plenty of people who have had their faucets for a little while will have noticed them starting to look dingy. The dinginess often lingers regardless of how often the people in question clean the faucet, which may be a function of the manner in which they are cleaning it in the first place. In this video, people will learn how to clean their sinks and faucets in a way that is going to promote clarity and shininess, making the sink look like it is new again. Essentially, this trick just involves soaking the area in vinegar for a while and then wiping the hard water and calcium accumulation away with a sponge. The narration of the video comes with a solid demonstration, which should allow people to easily learn how to do this trick themselves.”</p>

<p>Leaky pipes do a lot more than waste water. It also has other unintended consequences.</p>
<p>Your Central Valley shared in its website that the leaky pipes are further contributing to a drought. <a href="http://www.phccsd.org/">Plumbing Association of San Diego </a></p>
<p>“Water experts say the very system that delivers water to our homes and businesses, is making the state’s drought even worse! They say some cities have pipes that are at least a century old, and everyday, hundreds of gallons of water are leaking out of these pipes…Experts say when a leak is detected, pipes need to be replaced and flushed before they are put back into service, which requires extra water.”</p>

<h2><em>Something could have been making it worse</em></h2>
<p>The LA Times for its part has reported that water conservation measures in view of a drought could be causing some leaky pipes in their area. <a href="http://www.acca.org/">A/C And HVAC</a></p>
<p>“Sanitation districts have worried about sewer spills for years, but officials say they have had to become especially vigilant in recent months as water use has plummeted. Shorter showers, more efficient toilets and other reductions in indoor water usage have meant less wastewater flowing through sewer pipes, sanitation officials say. With less flow to flush the solids down the system, those solids are collecting and can eventually damage pipes.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/clearwood/12320155983/"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3699/12320155983_0f8aa7e0ab_z.jpg" alt="leaky pipe time" width="640" height="566" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>A Leaking pipe can get a lot of people sick.</strong></em> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/clearwood/12320155983/">(Photo Credits)</a></p>
<p>At home a leaking pipe is a nuisance that usually merits a call to the plumber, or a trip to the hardware store to get materials for a DIY Fix.</p>
<p>On a larger scale though, leaky pipes have consequences that could even endanger a good number of people.</p>
<p>The British Broadcasting Corporation for instance says leaky pipes can cause illnesses to a large number of people. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing">Plumbing Info </a></p>
<p>“Leaky pipes may be causing upset stomachs because they allow contaminated water to get into the system, it is being claimed. Sheffield University’s Prof Joby Boxall issued the warning after studying the risks posed by leaky pipes. His team recreated a mains water pipe system and then damaged part of it to see what happened to the water. They found that when a pipe leaks, it not only spits out clean water, but also sucks in dirty water.”</p>
<p>Read the rest of the article <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-33020184">here.</a></p>
<h2><em>Takes in Dirty Water</em></h2>
<p>The Medical Daily shared the same University of Sheffield study to its readers. <a href="https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.display?id=414&tab=description">OSHA Plumbers </a></p>
<p>“Even worse, microorganisms and pathogens, once they’ve entered the network, might attach to the inner surface of the pipe. After multiplying there, these illness-causing microbes might become dislodged by a change in water pressure and then reach your tap, ultimately your drinking water, at even higher concentrations. While leaks don’t pose a risk to drinking water most of the time, water pressure — more precisely, a sudden drop in water pressure <strong>—</strong> is key. Whenever there is a sudden change in water velocity, total water pressure will drop. Valve or pump failures, for instance, might spur a pressure drop as would a sudden demand on the system — such as when firemen pump out large volumes to fight a blaze. In fact, pressure drops regularly take place in operational water networks, according to results from a few studies, most of them conducted in the United States.”</p>

<p>Apart from illnesses, leaky pipes lead to water deficit.</p>
<p>In its website Natural News shared that in the United States, leaky pipes run up to a trillion gallons per year.</p>
<p>“At the moment, huge parts of the world — like California and Brazil — are suffering from drought. Something as simple as taking a shower whenever you want may become a luxury in the near future.<br />
If we want to keep the luxury of running fresh water, we’re all going to have to make an effort to reduce the 1 trillion gallons of water being lost each year. Not only is it important to fix our leaks, but we have to change our attitude as well.”</p>

<p><em><strong>Yes many animals get caught in between pipes and drainage systems.</strong> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/savidgefamily/6788489719/">(Photo Credits)</a></em></p>
<p>Getting trapped in a drainage pipe is a very reasonable fear to have. It can be dirty, it can be fatal.</p>
<p>Animals in fact, usually fall victim to getting stuck in drainage pipes.</p>
<p>Take the case of these manatees in Florida as shared by foxnews.com</p>
<p><strong>“</strong>After hours of labor, local authorities and animal rescue teams rescued 19 manatees who swam into a Florida town’s storm drain and got stuck Monday. Bay News 9 reported that rescuers had to cut the drain pipe in order to free the last of the giant marine mammals. Florida Today reported that some of the animals had scrapes and bruises after coming into contact with the drainage infrastructure, but there were no reports that any more serious injuries occurred. Officials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said that they believed the manatees swam into the drain from the Indian River Lagoon in search of fresh, warm water.”</p>

<h2><em>Cuteness stuck on a pipe</em></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.display?id=414&tab=description">OSHA Plumbers</a> These puppy featured over at the website Independent Journal Review meantime fell in a drainage ditch. “This video…shows a Rottweiler pup stranded on a tiny island of dry refuse in a drainage canal. Luckily for it, some good guys drove into the canal in a Jeep to go grab it and take it to shelter. That’s the kind of compassionate act that makes everyone feel good. Hopefully, the guys take the pup in and give it a loving home for good.”</p>

<p><strong><em>Plumbing Materials can be upcycled too.</em> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/normalityrelief/3549755716/">(Photo Credits)</a></strong></p>
<p>Plumbing supplies do not necessarily need to be utilized exclusively for plumbing purposes. In fact, there should be more uses to these supplies and materials apart from your usual plumbing-related repairs and projects.</p>
<p>If you scour the internet, you will see that there are a lot of Do-It-Yourself instructional materials and videos geared towards upcycling plumbing supplies and materials.</p>
<p>Just like this plumbing pipe firewood holder featured over at Goodshomedesign.com.</p>
<p>“Have you been in search for a way to keep the quality of your garden at high standards? Surely, the soil used has an important role in this equation, so if you want a good result in the garden, you must pay extra attention to the soil. The DIY compost bin we suggest can help you solve this issue. Besides the fact this clever device keeps rodents away from your compost, the design build is simple and will be easy for you to make in your spare time. The materials are also easy to get and use. You have to make sure you have Reclaimed Cedar and other lumber, some concrete pavers, hardware cloth, metal sheet roofing, screws and some important tools like a sander, table saw, drill and shovel. Check out the tutorial and good luck on building this device.”</p>
<p>Read the step-by-step instructional <a href="http://www.goodshomedesign.com/easy-plumbing-pipe-firewood-holder/">here</a>.</p>
<h2>More uses than one</h2>
<p>Hometalk.com meantime featured galvanized plumbing parts as possible curtain rods for your home and bathroom. <a href="https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.display?id=414&tab=description">OSHA Plumbers</a></p>
<p>“I’m definitely not the first to make these, and after this tutorial, I’m hoping there will be some of you who will also tackle this DIY project. There were a few things I learned along the way, so you can learn from my mistakes!”</p>

<p>This plumbing supplies company though is bent on making sure that they remain innovative in terms of the plumbing materials that they supply to both plumbing contractors and homes.</p>
<p>Twincities.com featured Uponor, the plumbing company that is serious in making sure that they remain on top of all the latest technologies and innovations when I comes to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing">plumbing.</a></p>
<p>“The program is open-ended, yet somewhat exclusive. For one thing, Uponor doesn’t want to stray too far from its core business — plumbing, heating and water management. Out of 40 new-idea candidates so far, Uponor has thrown in with just one prospect, New Brighton-based Upstream Technologies, which makes systems to treat stormwater run-off, licensing a patent from the University of Minnesota. In a recent interview, Gray talked about Uponor Innovations and how it fits in with the larger company.”</p>

<p>Flushing the toilet is just one automatic thing any individual does, but for kids, it could sometimes be a magical process. After all, how can something just suddenly disappear right?</p>
<p>This boy featured over at elitedaily.com was adorably sad as he said goodbye to his pet goldfish.</p>
<p>“It can be hard for a little kid to fully understand the concept of death, which is probably why I was led to believe my goldfish lived for four years before by parents informed me there had actually been seven of them. The kid in this video, however, does what he can to keep it together while paying respect to his goldfish in the only acceptable way — throwing it in the toilet and watching it circle the drain in an incredibly transparent visual metaphor. It’s what he would have wanted.”</p>
<p>Watch the video here.</p>

<p><b>Flushed alive</b></p>
<p>This newborn infant however almost lost a chance to live after his parents flushed him out in the toilet as posted in the website wereblog.com.</p>
<p>“Residents living in a building in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province in China reported a sound of a baby crying right at their public restroom. Firefighters immediately came to respond and they were all shocked with what they found out.”</p>

<p>In Portland, Oregon over at the United States there is no drama in flushing toilets, just energy. Website minds.com featured turbines powered by flushing toilets.</p>
<p>“Hydoelectric turbines have been installed in one of the main water pipelines in Portland, Oregon, utilizing the water pressure to produce electricity. The turbines work where water is flowing downhill, and are already recouping some of the energy cost in keeping the water system running. When fully in place, these pipe generators can power hundreds of thousands of homes. Gregg Semler, CEO of Lucid Energy, followed his dream of ‘helping water become more sustainable’ by developing this smart piping system. Not only are they electricity generators, they also have state of the art sensors to detect change in water pressure to keep pipes from bursting, and the ability to detect if drinking water is contaminated.”</p>

<p>Watering your lawn is easier when you have an automated sprinkler system.</p>
<p>Media outfit NBC News reported that a greener and more sustainable option is being eyed in California.</p>
<p>“The plush, green lawns that dot the cities and suburbs of California are in danger. New restrictions meant to cut water use by 25 percent amid a four-year drought could force home owners to let their grass go brown — unless new smart sprinkler controllers save the day. These gadgets use Wi-Fi and sensors to cut back water usage on lawns by anywhere from 30 to 50 percent.”</p>

<h2>Winter Wonderland</h2>
<p>In Louisiana though, a lawn turned into a winter wonderland last winter, after its owner forgot to turn it off when the weather reached below zero.</p>
<p>“Residents in one Baton Rouge, Louisiana community woke up Thursday morning to discover someone had forgotten to turn off the automatic sprinkler system. How did they know? Because temperatures overnight had fallen below freezing – and parts of their neighbourhood, coated in sheets of ice, resembled a winter wonderland. According to WVLA News in Baton Rouge, residents of the Windermere neighbourhood were fascinated by the bizarre “ice sculptures” the sprinklers had created, and came out to take photos of the impromptu display.”</p>

<p>It may be popular in other countries, but not all homes in the United States have it. Yes – the Bidet has not yet invaded most American homes.</p>
<p>Website Articles.Mercola.Com said that bidets have not been popular in the United States because of three main reasons. The most plausible theories for why Americans prefer to be sans-bidet include: History — In the 18th century, Britons had a disdain for French aristocracy (which were among the first to champion the use of bidets). When the early colonists came to America, they may have brought this sentiment with them.”</p>
<p>Read the rest of the reasons <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/10/18/bidet-use.aspx">here.</a></p>
<h2>The Luxury and Comfort it Provides</h2>
<p>The New York Times meantime published an article in its website sharing the many comfort and luxuries that a bidet can provide.</p>
<p>“The seats, which range in price from about $250 to more than $1,700, are attachments for your toilet with at least two basic functions, and, depending on the model, a wide array of more luxurious extras. The basic features are warming your bottom, and then cleaning it with warmed water. The more luxurious appointments try to recreate something like an opulent spa. Some seats will dry your bottom with warmed air, sort of like being pushed through a carwash. Some use a fan and a catalytic converter to suck out the gases in the bowl, apparently removing any odors. Some sense when you’re approaching the toilet and spray a fine mist in the bowl, prelubricating it to aid with flushing. Many of the seats, as you might expect, offer a remote control to operate the spraying and other functions”</p>

<p>The Plumbing Profession is slowly becoming one of the most practical career a skilled individual may want to pursue.</p>
<p>In its website CNN Money quoted Billionaire and Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg encouraging high school graduates to pursue instead a profession like plumbing.</p>
<p>“The former mayor claimed that such careers are more important now than ever as technology has made it so middle class professions don’t pay like they used to. He believes that’s why the latest labor statistics show that wages remain stagnant even as employment has gone up.”</p>

<p>“A New York plumber and his son are multimillionaires after sitting on a winning Powerball ticket because they thought the jackpot had been won by a teacher. Anthony Perosi of Staten Island says he was on his way to do an inspection March 14 when he stopped at the 7-Eleven where he always buys lottery tickets when he is in the area. Perosi, 56, was at a bar a week later when another patron said the winning Powerball ticket had been won at that same 7-Eleven. The bartender, he says, told him it was a teacher who had won the $136 million jackpot.”</p>

<p>Fox News uploaded in its website the report on how the extrimists have been using the plumber’s truck in their attacks in the said country. “An extremist group, Ansar al-Deen Front, posted the photo of its fighters aboard the Ford F-250 sometime on Monday. That prompted a flood of calls to Mark Oberholtzer, who owns Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City, and has nothing to do with Syria’s bloody civil war…Oberholtzer told the paper that he traded in the truck three years ago. The Houston dealership he turned it over to, AutoNation, told KHOU.com that the truck was auctioned and was likely traded from owner to owner over the course of three years.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/statefarm/13249921583/"><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7268/13249921583_97e16a4f37_z.jpg" alt="Sump pump" width="640" height="468" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Make sure that you regularly check on your sump pump.</strong></em> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/statefarm/13249921583/">(Photo Credits)</a></p>
<p>Sump pumps, although it does not get much attention, continues to be a vital machine in the home. Without it basements will get flooded and trouble will surely ensue because flooding brings about a whole new wave of problems such as damaged flooring, malfunctioning appliances, property destruction, and even molds.</p>
<p>But sometimes sump pumps fail. To this though website Lifehacker.Com has a solution to prevent flooding in your home. “Basically it uses a sonar rangefinder to monitor the depth of the water below his basement, and a Raspberry Pi to hook the system up to his home network and send out alerts. He set the system to alert him if the water level got within 20cm of his basement floor, which would indicate the pump was failing. This won’t fix the problem or restart the pump, but if he was on vacation it would at least give him time to ask a neighbor or repair man for help remotely.”</p>

Let’s go back to basic: water heaters. <a href="http://www.bluediamondplumbing.net/south/chula-vista/" target="_blank"><span data-sheets-value='[null,2,"24 Hour Plumber Chula Vista"]' data-sheets-userformat="[null,null,771,[null,0],[null,2,11982760],null,null,null,null,null,null,3,0]">24 Hour Plumber Chula Vista</span></a></p>
<p>Water heaters are a necessity of every household not just during winter but also on ordinary days when you don’t feel like taking a cold shower (who does?). <a href="http://www.bluediamondplumbing.net/north/carlsbad/" target="_blank"><span data-sheets-value='[null,2,"Carlsbad Plumbing and Drain"]' data-sheets-userformat="[null,null,771,[null,0],[null,2,9684093],null,null,null,null,null,null,3,0]">Carlsbad Plumbing and Drain</span></a></p>
<p>Although water heaters are beneficial, there are times when it can cause dangers and accidents. <a href="http://www.bluediamondplumbing.net/north/carlsbad/" target="_blank"><span data-sheets-value='[null,2,"BDP Office Oceanside Plumber"]' data-sheets-userformat="[null,null,771,[null,0],[null,2,6989903],null,null,null,null,null,null,3,0]">BDP Office Oceanside Plumber</span></a></p>
<p>Just this month of November, several accidents have already happened due to water heaters exploding, some even caused house fire.</p>
<p>A 23-year old man from South Haven, Michigan suffered from severe burns after a water heater exploded. He was trying to light the pilot light on the water heater when it exploded. <span data-sheets-value='[null,2,"Ramona Plumber and Drain Cleaning\n"]' data-sheets-userformat="[null,null,771,[null,0],[null,2,3700253],null,null,null,null,null,null,3,0]"><a href="http://www.bluediamondplumbing.net/east/ramona/" target="_blank">Ramona Plumber and Drain Cleaning</a><br /></span></p>
<p>Another man from Haines City in Florida, 67 years of age, suffered burns after his water heater exploded which also caused his house to burn down in fire.</p>
<p><strong>What causes water heaters to explode?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing" target="_blank"><span data-sheets-value='[null,2,"Plumbing Info"]' data-sheets-userformat="[null,null,771,[null,0],[null,2,65280],null,null,null,null,null,null,3,0]">Plumbing Info</span>.</a> Any house appliance, if not installed correctly, may cause dangers. That is why being knowledgeable on how to use something, by reading the manual is essential to prevent these types of emergencies at home.</p>
<p>There are actually two ways a water heater can explode: though gas leak and water pressure.</p>
<p>We all know that leaking gas is very dangerous, with just a small ignition flame, it can cause explosion. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating" target="_blank"><span data-sheets-value='[null,2,"Central Heating"]' data-sheets-userformat="[null,null,771,[null,0],[null,2,65280],null,null,null,null,null,null,3,0]">Central Heating</span></a>. As for the water pressure, normally there is a safety valve on water heaters which releases the built-up pressure while the water is being heated. If this safety valve fails to work, the pressure inside the tank will give away causing explosion.</p>
<p><strong>How do we prevent this from happening?</strong></p>
<p>Even a small explosion at home doesn’t just cause damage at home but can also be too costly.</p>
<p>So in order to prevent dangers from happening we need to make sure that factors such as ventilation to the area where we put the water heater is taken into consideration.</p>
<p>Here are the tips and other information we need to know and follow:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Did you know?</p>
<ul class="story">
<li>Hot water heaters should be properly sized for your house.</li>
<li>Extra thick insulation helps prevent radiant heat loss and saves energy and money.</li>
<li>Water temperatures above 120° F can cause scalding especially on young children.</li>
<li>Sediment build-up can cause premature tank failure, electric element failure, and excess costs on fuel bill</li>
<li>Hot water heaters require yearly <a href="http://www.bluediamondplumbing.net/about-us/">maintenance</a> to ensure proper operation.</li>
</ul>
<p class="storybold">DO</p>
<ul class="story">
<li>Set hot water heater temperature below 120° F.</li>
<li>Flush hot water heater through drain valve at least once a year to remove sediment build-up.</li>
<li>Test safety relief valve once a year to ensure proper operation (this device protects the heater from over-pressurizing and from exceeding 210° F.)</li>
<li>Keep area around hot water heater, clean and free of combustible and flammable material.</li>
<li>When leaving for vacation, set hot water heater temperature at its lowest setting. This will save money and reduce the risk of any problems while you are away.</li>
<li>Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for recommended maintenance schedule.</li>
</ul>
<p class="storybold"><span style="color: #ff0000;">DON’T</span></p>
<ul class="story">
<li>Set hot water heater temperature above 120° F.</li>
<li>Keep combustible material or flammable material or flammable material within 18″ of the hot water heater.</li>
<li>Never leave children unattended around a hot water heater.</li>
</ul>

<p><em><strong>Water Filter is a must in most areas. <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/gocarts/2433527241/">Photo Credits</a></strong></em></p>
<p>Drinking water is essential in a person’s daily survival. In fact, a person needs to drink eight glasses of water a day in order to stay healthy and function at optimal levels. <a href="http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing">Plumbing</a></p>
<p>It is important though that the water the person is drinking is clean and absolutely potable. And this is why mineral and filtered water has been a must in most homes.</p>
<p>But not all filters are created equal, so to speak. Website, Natural News for instance shared the results of their road test of about a dozen water filters in the market.<a href="http://www.mcaa.org/pca/"><span data-sheets-value='[null,2,"Plumbing Association"]' data-sheets-userformat="[null,null,771,[null,0],[null,2,65280],null,null,null,null,null,null,3,0]">Plumbing Association</span></a></p>
<p>“They reveal that most water filters don’t remove most heavy metals. Most filters failed miserably in this test, leaving the drinking water heavily contaminated with toxic heavy metals (if it was heavily contaminated to begin with, of course). One very popular water filter sold at Wal-Mart only removed about 15% of the lead in contaminated water, leaving 85% of the lead in the “filtered” water for drinking. (That same filter also failed to remove around 25% of the mercury in the water!)”</p>
<p>Read the rest of the story <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/046534_water_filters_laboratory_testing_heavy_metals.html">here.</a></p>
<h2>There is a solution</h2>
<p>Water Liberty Research Center agrees that there are a lot of contaminants in today’s water supply. But the website’s author insists that the best way to remove these dangerous stuff in the water is through a process that you can do at home. “Just a tiny bit of this powerful yet natural, mineral-based agent allows you to harness the same power of pristine, hot healing mineral springs, which have been used around the world for thousands of years — right in the comfort of your own home!”</p>

<p>But if push comes to shove and you need a water filtration system in a jiffy. Truthandaction.org shared a video of a do-it-yourself water filtration using common household items, which you can then use either as a back-up or during emergencies. “This DIY water filter is conveniently small so having a couple for backup is still quite easy to bring along. Always follow traditional safety standards when handling or drinking water that might contain harmful bacteria or other pathogens. Be mindful of cross contamination, expiration dates on purification chemicals, and always utilize the cleanest water available. Boil any questionable water.”</p>

<p>Home heating reached new heights in terms of aesthetics and eco-friendliness, as SoITechSystem unveiled their glass solar roof tiles that heats the home and at the same time lends a clean look to it. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumber"><span data-sheets-value='[null,2,"Plumber Wiki"]' data-sheets-userformat="[null,null,771,[null,0],[null,2,65280],null,null,null,null,null,null,3,0]">Plumber Wiki</span></a></p>
<p>Website goodshomedesign.com shared that this efficient and stylish roofing system will help cut down a household’s heating bill drastically. “People choosing to resort to more eco-friendly alternatives have pushed innovation to a more accessible standard. Solar heating for example can be both efficient and stylish with these Glass Roof Tiles. Made by SolTech System, this combination of technology with ecology brings all home owners a definite advantage and makes them choose environmental-friendly materials often. The important thing to know about this particular type of roof tile is that it doesn’t need bright sunshine in order to function at high parameters.”</p>
<p>Take a look at how the glass roof tiles work <a href="http://www.goodshomedesign.com/innovative-glass-roof-tiles-heat-your-home-with-solar-energy/">here.</a></p>
<h2>Great Style, Eco-Friendly</h2>
<p>According to website awareness-time.com the glass tiles are made of ordinary glass, and that it weighs just the same. More importantly, it is made of clean energy. “The tiles are installed on top of a black nylon canvas, under which air slots are mounted. The black colour absorbs heat from the sun and the air starts to circulate. The hot air is then used to heat up water, which is connected to the house’s heating system via an accumulator. The beauty of the system is that it cuts energy costs throughout the year, during dark winter days as well as night time, due to its capacity to store heat in the isolating layers of air under the canvas.”</p>

<p>Free and alternative energy sources like solar energy is very critical especially for those who may not be able to afford high heating bills.<br />
In Kansas City, Missouri for instance, a Cancer-Stricken man allowed himself to shiver during the winter because he could not afford to pay his heating bills. Media outfit KMBC reported in its website, that the man’s heating bill has piled up that he could no longer pay for it.</p>
<p>“His neighbor Roy has set up an extension cord to Brown’s home to power some space heaters. Brown said his desperation has grown as the temperatures drop. Since Brown’s home has no power, the thermostat doesn’t work. It’s hard to say what the exact temperature is, but KMBC 9’s Brian Johnson said it felt almost as cold inside as it is outside.”</p>
