My brother once asked me how I know everything I do about construction and codes and laws and cars and mechanics. It really comes down to two things. Experience and the willingness to learn hands on and secondly is the internet and all the instant knowledge it gives through KZread videos and business practices and simply reading mechanics manuals for technician procedure.

    In New Zealand, if you're not on municipal water supply, you typically collect rainwater from the roof and store it in big tanks set on the ground, then use a pump to feed it into the house. Some farms the a few rural houses will use bores (wells) for water supply, but much more common to re-use rainwater.

    As a general idiot when it comes to plumbing, thanks very much!!! In 2012, I bought a house that was built in the 50's. You did a fabulous job of explaining everything. Generally I am a DIY person. This house had a lot of galvanized piping, when I purchased it. For the most part I have converted it to pex. I love pex as it's easy to transport and to install. However, you also make me feel like the few times that I have spent huge money on a plumber, when I thought things were well above my expertise, it was money well spent. Thanks again for the fabulous tutorial. Two thumbs up sir.

    Great Video. Loved every second and learnt a lot. Quick note: in cases where water is supplied by a well, it's usually pumped into a storage tank. The tank is usually on the same level as the house or higher. this allows a consistent supply and pressure in the event of a power outage.

  • @BrentTJo

    @BrentTJo

    Жыл бұрын

    The tanks can also be pressurized to provide water pressure if power is off. The depth of the wells also vary based on location. They can be as shallow as 50 feet deep or as deep as the 500 feet he mentioned in the video (some rare cases deeper). But the average is probably only 100 to 150 feet deep.

I am currently plumbing my house and you are just the guy I was hoping to find and learn from. It does make a difference in the way I choose to absorb information knowing that is comes from a seasoned professional. I might have a question or three along the way. I hope you don't mind if I reach out and ask you about something. Soon, I will be demolishing the cast iron stack and replacing it with PVC parts. Any advice for this is warmly welcomed. I have been the assistant for this task only one time in my life and now I know enough to be very dangerous!

    Friction and viscosity of flow in pipes is a major design of these systems. As he mentioned the storm and wastewater pipes are sloped so gravity driven and that slop varies based on those factors and the materials of the piping system. The less you need to slope them the fewer lifting stations you need which are expensive and require regular maintenance.

Freshwater pipes are at four feet of depth, sewage pipes are six feet of depth. Your illustration has the sewage pipes above the fresh. This is not allowed by Code. If the sewage leaks, this would contaminate the fresh. Other than this, nice job.

    Great video! Plumbing is very similar here in Finland. What we do differently though, is that you are not allowed to absorb the rain water next to the house straight via downspouts in a new construction (lots of old houses do this still, though). We have, at least on newer areas, municipality rain water collection system as also pointed out in this video. Also you are most definitely NOT allowed to direct your rainwater from downspouts straight to french drain, as that will surely make your foundations wet! You don't want wet foundations! What we do is we collect rain water and french drain water (from two separate systems) into a single collection well that combines the two water streams and directs water to the municipality collection system. There are one or two non-return valves in place so water from the municipality system, if clogged, doesn't get into the french drain and wet the foundations.

    My septic tank is under our road, lol. The road use to stop at my house and the septic tank was put in behind the road for easy access. I moved out of state for a job for a few years and we decided to move back, the road was over it. When houses were added down the road they paved over my septic tank. I called the road county manager about it, but they said there was nothing they can do about it, since it is now part of the public road system. I flush 1 gallon of buttermilk every month and it actually eats the waste. Been doing this for 16 years now. If anything happens we will have to have a new septic tank put in. Yes I did check with a lawyer and the county had the right to make the road. I found out they sent notice of the road going through, but I never received it.

    The last part of the video should of been this is one way, most rain water / storm drains go into a local man made pond and if that over flows goes into another one close to it. This is the same for huge parking lots etc. Imagine the flooding caused if all drainage pipes etc went to rivers/ streams etc... And how polluted they would be from all the run off from roads like oil trash etc..

    While there may be a vortex separator or triple basin (i.e. oil and trash separator) installed within the storm system prior to the pond, the true design intent of the retention ponds is to offset the impervious surface area created by buildings, sidewalks, and roadways that does not allow water to infiltrate back into the ground. They are not designed just to keep rivers and streams clean. Rainwater is stored for a designed period of time and discharged downstream at a rate equal to, or less than, predevelopment conditions (if the homes or roads were never constructed), so as to not create flash floods or inundate the downstream storm system. Remember, storm sewer systems are only designed to accommodate a ten year rain event (small storm events) and not heavy rainfalls such as the 100 year event (a 1% chance of happening in a year). Heavy rainfalls are expected to flow across the ground in ditches and swales at specific areas called Overland Flood Routes. It’s too expensive to install complete storm sewer systems that will accommodate all the rainfall. So next time you see rainwater running through your yard through swales or in the street it was designed to do that. Problems occur when people change their yards by regrading or installing landscaping such as trees, bushes, and flower beds.

    @@leticiaaguilar7729 They are saying that the area covered by roads and roofs doesn't soak up rain water. The water is instead diverted to other ground, which can quickly saturate during a rainstorm and become unable to absorb any additional water. The water that can't soak in will "run off" into surrounding lakes or streams and cause flooding, or collect in low-lying areas which may have people living in them. Retention ponds are often dug near large buildings, communities, or roadways to contain the runoff and prevent the aforementioned flash flooding. The water caught in retention ponds will continue to soak into the ground and/or evaporate long after the storm ends, easing the burden on infrastructure and the communities served.
