How old should you let your water heater get? Most people seem to think it's when it starts to squirt.But I disagree with them.I think that they disagree with themselves once it happens. Be proactive! 10 to 12 years seems to be the magic number that keeps the energy bills and disaster cleanup guys at bay.

Is your water pressure low at a certain faucet? Try replacing the aerator. It's pretty easy to do just unthread the last bit where the water comes out and thread in a a new one. It might seem like a brand new one after that.You'll amaze you spouse and might even get an extra smooch!

Hose bibs. Hose bibs are the outside faucets on your house. Make sure that in the next month or so the garden hose gets taken off the hose bib. If not then the water doesn't have a way to escape the bib and you may need to replace the whole kit and kabootle. Water plus cold plus pipe Equals no more pipe.

So. I've been informed that if i don't use my face page no one else will. So I'm going to start posting tips for your plumbing system. Do you have a sink or bathtub you don't use much? If you do it's a potential health risk. Run some water in the fixture once every couple of weeks to fill your p-trap up with water. Otherwise you have all your neighborhood's sewage gases venting into your house. Yuck.
