Water Distribution

Water that is used at home can be received from two kind of sources, PDAM or artesian well. Water is supplied to places in the house through pipes. Water that comes through the main pipes is distributed to several places in the house like sink, toilet, wash basin, and bath tub. Some of the water is placed in a tank called cold-water tank. Because the member of the house also needs hot water for several necessity, like taking a bath or washing, the water must be processed to become hot water. The way is by moving water from cold-water tank to hot-water tank through pipes to be processed. The heating process can be done in many methods, like using electricity or gas. The water from hot-water tank is then distributed to places in the house through pipes which need hot water like bath, wash basin, and sink.
