rmsmith 1 #1 September 9, 2005 In the U.S. the use of water tanks for heated water is the preferred method over the flash coil heater typical in Europe. The Uniform Building Code in the U.S. calls for the tank so that the average family has 30-50 gallons of drinking water, enough for the several days needed for the government to mount an organized response to a disaster.

The 2 houses I owned in the UK had large storage tanks for both hot and cold water. At least 100gals for the cold. My parents', brother's and sister's houses are the same.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No water pressure, HWT in lower part of house which could be flooded to bad so sad. If your concerned about getting caught dry you could use some of the moey you save on you electric/gas bill and stock up on bottled water or beer. R.I.P.
