Is your Domestic water heated by your house's Heating System (photo #1)
or do you have a separate (oil or gas or electric) hot water heater?
Above photos 2, 3, and 4, show separate hot water heaters in same order: oil, gas, electric.
Also don't forget heating water with appliances, such as your electric or gas stove. (electric stovetop shown above.)

As we have learned on previous pages, water is vital to our survival.
We all have a responsibility not to WASTE water.

The Sink? - Change the washer
The Toilet Tank? - Adjust the float
The Shower or Tub? - Change the shower head or tub faucet
An ON and OFF Valve? - Tighten that second nut under the handle
The Garden Hose? - Tighten the connections
...AND when in DOUBT, call a well recommended Licence Plumber!
