Watering My House

Every house has its own water system. Usually the clean water enters our home by tank or pipes which lay lower then the ground. To reach upper levels, water would be pumped up. Here is a description of how water gets into the taps of our house. It describes only one system of many others water system.

The clean water pumped up through the rising main to reach the house. First branch of the rising main feeds the cold water tap of the sink while the next branches feed outside tap and other cold water taps in the first floor. Then the rising main rises water to the upper floor. In this floor, the cold water flowed to feed the bathroom tap, wash basin tap, toilet and other cold water taps in the second floor. Last branch of the rising main stores cold water into a storage called cold water tank in the loft.

To provide hot water, the cold water from the tank flowed into a boiler in the second floor called hot water tank. Pipes from the hot water tank branched to feed the hot water taps. The first branch flowed water to the taps in the second floor (the nearest ones). It feeds the hot water tap of the bath sink, wash basin, and other taps in the second floor. The second branch of the hot water pipe comes down to the first floor to feed the hot water tap of the sink and others in the same floor.
