Quality of water should always be a concern. 
Would someone mind writing a starting paragraph saying what a DWS is? I do not know and am not the best qualified to do so. Thanks for the work, anyway! Pfortuny 17:39, 12 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The utilized an air tank, check valve, pressure switch for the Army and Air force shower systems. we in the Marines don't have it and I wanted to know if someone could get me the info on how to procure them. e-mail address sanchezjs@iwakuni.usmc.mil thanks in advance. Semper Fi!
I've tinkered a bit with the article to clarify the list of 'fixtures' but really the article needs a thorough rewrite. Which needs a few Tuits ... John Stumbles 00:14, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  check valve 

message: This looks like a very USian page, particularly with respect to pipe sizes being in inches.  Can anyone extend this to cover European standards, if anything is known about them?
I agree. The UK is half way between the US and Europe in plumbing having a mixture of imperial and metric sizes.
22mm roughly 3/4" and 15mm roughly 1/2" metric to imperial olives bridge the slight discrepency.

message: I am researching all aspects of housing construction, so I've added this page to my watchlist.  I've done a re-write, and recommended the merger.  There are a few other people working on it at the same time.  Keep Writing!

thread_title: Done what I can

message: I think it would be good to add a section here on the history of indoor plumbing. I mean, who was the first to pump water into their homes? I believe that the Romans did it, but I'm not sure they were the first. Spacelord 22:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Historical Considerations

message: I have removed the merge proposal on this page, as the proposed merge page, plumbing drainage venting is more generally applicable than to just the domestic water system.  However, this article still requires major work -- the intro is too long and not sufficiently wikilinked, and the text needs more structure.  It's possible an expert may be required.  -- kaosfere 17:56, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup Required

message: I have been a water professional in the United States for over 30 years and have never heard the acronym DWS or the phrase Domestic Water System. Could someone please let us know where it comes from?
The word for used water (aka sewage) is "wastewater", not "waste water". Stylebook issue

thread_title: Title Source?

message: Hello, I've never contributed to Wikipedia before so not sure how to go about this. I have read the Wikipedia Domestic Water System write up and would like to contribute a section giving guidance on keeping the stored water in a domestic property healthy and thus avoiding legionella and other bacterial growth. I am the director of a UK company that specialises in cleaning and sterilising domestic water tanks and systems. My contribution would include UK health and safety information pertaining to the obligations of landlords of domestic rental properties. So my question is, do I submit this to someone or do I just type it in. And can I include a link to our website which contains a lot of information.

thread_title:  Water storage tank health 

message: I've just 'finished' cleaning up the plumbing articles that I've found ... so far.  Plumber and others feed to Plumbing which then feeds to this and related articles.  So this article is for water supply, and water drains and vents are addressed in oddly titled Plumbing drainage venting.  I've also cleaned up this talk page a little.  129.237.114.171 21:27, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Clean up "complete"

message: Is anybody opposed to merging the article with Tap water?  I don't see why the two articles wouldn't be happier under one roof.  I'm surprised to see so little current discussion on such a merge.Zebulin (talk) 06:29, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
