Customer Reviews

Okay, however....
It's a nicely packaged item. Clearly meant for use when water is around and built to last. Unfortunately, there's little new information here. It's pulled pretty much verbatim from the more comprehensive manual. So, the pros are that it's a more portable version of the weighty Readers Digest DIY book...the cons are that it's essentially the same. Those looking for more detail will be disappointed.

Plumbing basics
I though the book was a bit basic for what I required but having said that this would be a good book for somebody who knows nothing about plumbing in their home.
It was also a good book for bringing awareness of plumbing maintenance in your home ie those valves in the cupboard or under the sink that do need a to be looked at occaisionaly.
