For Whom the Toilet Flushes

Every modern home has a relatively complex system of plumbing that takes wastewater from a drain and delivers it to the municipal sewer system.

Although modern units have numerous features to improve safety and efficiency, storage tank water heaters are still relatively straightforward appliances. Water heater designs are self-circulating, which means cold water enters near the bottom of the tank using a dip tube.
