13.01.2022 Fun facts about plumbing Copper piping the primary material use in plumbing today was used by the Egyptians 3000 years ago to lay their own pipes Cleo knew good piping when she saw it! In Japan, many private homes and also some public toilets have toilet slippers (toire surippa) in front of the toilet door that should be used when in the toilet and removed immediately after leaving the toilet, ensuring the separation of ‘unclean’ from the ‘clean’ parts of the house.... This also indicates if the toilet is in use. The average person will spend three whole years of their life sitting on the toilet. That’s 1,095 days or 26,280 hours. Hope you’ve got lots of reading material! King George II of Great Britain died in 1760 by falling off a toilet. A survey revealed three out of four people put their toilet paper on the holder with the flap in the front. I wonder how many fold the edge into a beautiful design! Black Sabbath fan? Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne was a plumber’s apprentice before getting into the music industry. I guess it wasn’t his ‘Call of the Wild’. The Bathroom has had many unique terms and names throughout history. The Egyptians called it the House of Horror, it was referred to as the Necessarium by the Romans., and Tudor England coined it as the Privy. The Japanese now have urinals featuring the latest voice activated flushing mechanisms. The urinals respond to several commands, including ‘wash’, ‘fire’, and ‘remove the grime’ in over 30 languages. Actors Bob Hoskins and Michael Caine were plumbers before acting beckoned. Everyone has a one in ten thousand chance of being hurt by a toilet in their lifetime. Ouch! The first stall in a row of public toilets is the least used, and is therefore the cleanest. The World Toilet Organization was founded on 19 November 2001 and on this day every year World Toilet Day is celebrated. Some bizarre words used for the loo are: convenience, dunny, bog, khazi, garderobe, necessary, cloakroom, latrine, place of easement, water closet (WC), the ‘john’, and the ‘can’. Plumber comes from the Latin word plumbum! Say no more. Insulating your home’s pipes can reduce the amount of heat lost as your water travels from your heater to your faucet. You’ll run less water waiting for it to warm up and save money on your utility bills. 90% of pharmaceuticals taken by people are excreted through urination. Therefore our sewer systems contain a heavy dose of drugs. Go figure!

12.01.2022 The Life Changing Miracle of Creating Space Before the time comes to call your plumber, perhaps consider how accessible your place is. Local Author and resident Declutter Consultant Vini Foster has recently released a book dealing with clutter not only of your home, but your office, garage, computer, moving, and most importantly your mind and motivation. He shares personal experiences alongside different approaches and solutions geared towards tackling a sometimes overwhelming task. It’s well worth checking out on Amazon.

05.01.2022 Planning a home addition or renovation? Adding an extension to your home involves digging and laying foundations. So whatever you plan to use the space for (not only kitchen or bathrooms, but even a living room or bedroom), you will need to check where all plumbing pipes are located under the ground before hiring a digger or attacking the ground with a pick axe. You need to factor in possible alterations to your plumbing layout before adding any extension. This also applies t...o renovations of your kitchen, bathroom or laundry where you are thinking of moving the layout of existing units to different parts of the house or apartment. The reason for this is you will want the right, continuous water pressure for your needs, and this correlates to the overall system set up for your property. Adding another bathroom, an infinity pool, or even a spa pool can alter the pressure and flow of water throughout the property. Also look at what piping you have, as mixing galvinised pipes with higher quality copper lines could cause problems in the connections. You may have to think about replacing existing galvinised pipes with copper to ensure a strong, durable plumbing system is in place. You will also have to think about where your underground drainage system is located as to where you extend, or where to move existing drainage so you can have that addition facing the views of the ocean or the rolling hills. Your existing septic tank and septic bed are designed with a capacity based on the number of plumbing fixtures in your existing home. Adding to these can cause a potential overload to the current system. Likewise with the existing hot water system, if you are adding an ensuite, a sink in the butlers pantry, or a whole bathroom, even a granny flat, you will use up the hot water much quicker. This is where you will need to update to a larger heating system to accommodate the extra usage needed. Removing walls that house existing plumbing pipes and connections means you will need to relocate these pipes to fit your new design. So before finalising your design, you should get in touch with Rob Garbers for his advice on the best layout for your plumbing needs. He has had years of experience helping people realise their dreams with the right advice and layouts. He also has inside knowledge on the best products to use, and the most efficient systems for your needs. Rob also has reliable contacts for other jobs around the home, so don’t look any further, get in touch now. See more

03.01.2022 As bushfires are in greater numbers and with it only being the start of the Summer season, it is essential to follow these basic water restrictions to ensure there is enough to go around. However, you could also implement a lot of extra measures such as installing water saving shower nozzles, low-flow aerated taps, installing dual flush toilet cisterns, and using a bucket to catch and recycle your cold bath or shower water to use on the garden. The current ‘Water Restriction ...Level’ currently in force as of 28 November 2019 is ‘Permanent Water Conservation Measures’, which has been in place since 2004, however it’s always a good idea to familiarise yourself with what is in place.
