The Water Distribution on Houses

Water distribution system is not as simple as we can see. The water goes through several pipes between the main source into our house. The plumbers professionally design the position of this pipes nicely. The pipes themselves are hidden under the ground and inside the walls. When the water reaches houses, water flows into two main parts that has a different distribution way, they are the hot water and the cold water.

Now let us follow the journey of cold water on our house. Water is coming from the main source, and flow through all of the facilities on houses that are needed water, it could be sink, toilet, wash basin, or bath tab. Some people could have water spreader or water pouring system for their garden, then the pipes must be split again for this. Every houses usually has a cold water tank, it is for keeping the emergency water whenever it doesn’t come from the mains. This is the last destination of the cold water on our house.

Another function of cold water tank is to give water supply to the hot water tank. Hot water tank is a tank used to heat water, it contain water heater inside its system. Not all houses have a hot water tank. It spend more money to buy the water heater, and water heater also using gas to heat water. Water is kept inside the tank before it is heated. Then, the hot water is distributed among all of the water facilities on houses. People usually set the hot water on sink, wash basin, and bath tab.
