Where does the water come from, and how does it get to the faucet? In this episode host Jeff Wilson discusses municipal and well-water source options, and then the path of the water is followed from the curb to individual fixtures in the home. The advantages and disadvantages of three piping options -- copper, PVC and Pex -- are considered, and the episode concludes with a clear description of how water is heated via the hot water heater and distributed to the points of use throughout the home.
