Plumber vs sales
Plumber vs sales! What could be more beneficial for a company? How could it be better for the company reward their employees, hourly or commission? When the employee will be more interested in doing a better job? Is the company loosing money paying the employee hourly? When? And if why? Doing the job should the plumber give information about the work the owner? Is he sure his idea is the same with the sales person? Will he not damage the relation with customer? Questions. Questions.

JOKES 2
“Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.”
- Woody Allen
Did you hear that someone broke into our local police station and stole the toilet?
Right now the cops have nothing to go on..
I once worked with a plumber in New York City that said, 'Every time you flush your toilet you're putting food in my family's mouth'.
“If I waited for inspiration every time I sat down to write a song I probably would be a plumber today.”
- Barry Mann

Tank less vs water heater
This is an interesting presentation of tank-less vs water heater, pros and cons.
A tank less water heater requires a fresh-air intake to feed the flame and an exhaust line to expel combustion gases. The lines vent through an exterior wall or roof either as separate intake and exhaust pipes, or as a concentric vent in which both pipes share a single conduit (see the Rinnai vent at left). Venting requirements determine where (or if) a unit can be installed. Inconveniently located gas supply lines can force vent pipes to make too long a run, inhibiting airflow. Codes can require a minimum distance from the vent openings to a home’s windows, eliminating an otherwise ideal location.
After you read all the above, we want to share our opinion. In Europe the tank less is already an old technology coming on market in early '90s. The success is for both size, the manufactures and most important the consumers. In US is something relatively new. We think this will be soon your new hot water provider. No doubt about this. But anyway is your choice.

3 Ways a Tank less Pays
| Massive Demand: A dormitory can use 15 showers simultaneously and never run out of hot water. | Vacation Homes: Why heat a tank of water all month if you’re only going to use it one weekend? | Space-Saving: Sometimes water heaters are in the way—say, when installed in a rental apartment’s kitchen. A wall-mounted tank less machine frees up wasted floor space. |
3 Ways It Tanks
| Hot Trickles: Some heaters “sandwich” pockets of cold water when a small hot-water draw doesn't fully fire up the tank less flame. | Tight Vents: Urban row houses present venting challenges—if you can’t run a short chase out the back, forget about it. | Hard Water: Calcification plagues heat exchanges in hard-water areas. Residents must soak parts in vinegar or install a water softener. |

Old plumbing stores
Always is a pleasure to see how the plumbing was in old days.July
July's flowers are so beautiful. I hope you will like our pictures. And don't forget the fall is around the corner. Have you checked you sump pump? How is the water heater? I hope the main sewer line is already cleaned. If that so, enjoy the last days of the summer.

Faucets!
What faucets you have to chose for your kitchen or for your bathroom!? What brand? What design!? What material to be? Those hard questions sometimes are giving headaches. My advice is to consult the architect or the plumber. Never ask a neighbor! He or she will confuse you. At least the architect or the plumber are the professional. They can show you the best way in choosing the faucet(s). The final decision is yours and only yours. Think that will be your faucet for at least 15-20 yrs. The only advice which I will give you is that never buy a cheap faucet. That will hurt you in the future.Have a good time in choosing a faucets.
