"We have a problem" cried Jim while cooking dinner. My mind naturally went to the location of the nearest fire extinguisher, but fortunately the problem was far simpler. The new hot water heater apparently found a weak link in the pressurized water system, and a fitting gave way below the kitchen sink. Jim was quick -- in a moment he had the water pressure system shut down and the source of the problem identified. A couple hose clamps later, everything is back to normal...
