Thanks for the link. The copper lines going to the kitchen area would cost to much,I dont think you would gain much. Consider this! The kitchen sink water is supplyed with a 1/2" line , that water then drains in to a 1 1/2" drain, then to a 4" drain , how much of that water is in actuall contact with the drain pipe?! [ Parent ]
