Your Plumbing System

Your plumbing system has a number of different parts - the cold and hot water supply, the waste pipes and drains that get rid of the water when you've finished with it, and the heating system, if this relies on hot water to heat the radiators. Knowing how it all works not only helps you to use it sensibly; it also means you can track down the cause of any problems and at the very least minimise the mess that a plumbing disaster can cause.
