The History Of Water Heaters (Geysers)

The History Of Water Heaters or Geysers:


The water heater has been around for so long now that in today’s society it is mostly taken for granted.  However, hot water for bathing is a luxury that once was reserved only for the elite.



The first reports of people using warm baths came out of Rome which is of little surprise as the Romans are credited with having invented plumbing and aqueducts that carried fresh water in and waster out of the city.  

They were master engineers.  Around 300 AD, large soaking tubs of heated water were being introduced in the great bathhouses of Rome.

For centuries the only way to have a hot bath was to heat water on a stove or by burning wood and hanging pots of water over the fire until hot.  This hot water was then poured into wooden or metal tubs for bathing.

Troubleshooting Home Plumbing Problems | Plumbing DIY Tips

How to troubleshoot home plumbing issues


Credit for the creation of what is deemed our modern plumbing system, began with the Romans.  The concept and some crude plumbing predating the Roman era have been discovered but it was they who improved and modernized plumbing, as we know it today.  Aside from better materials, the principle remains the same.

From ancient Rome to present day Los Angeles, plumbing is still just a series of pipes and valves that uses air-pressure to bring clean water into the house and carry away the used water.  Simple enough, but should any of those fail, the whole system is jeopardized.

When Things Go Wrong


Plumbing is a wonderful convenience in a modern society but the lack of it can quickly plunge us back into the dark ages should something go wrong.  In Los Angeles, where the average person consumes 92.8 gallons of water per day, plumbing issues are going to arise.

A stopped-up or even worse, overflowing toilet, is more than just an annoyance, it’s an emergency that simply cannot be ignored.  A leaky faucet, while seemingly harmless can cost you more than you might realize.  Addressing and fixing these problems early on can prevent even more damage or inconvenience.

Steps to Unclog A Toilet Without A Plunger | Plumbing Tips

What to do when you have a clogged toilet and no plunger?

The problem

It is TAX season and having a clogged toilet is a subject most people do not want to discuss at all! It is a matter of pride, privacy and good manners. While a clogged toilet is a common occurrence, it is not a common topic of conversation, and with good reasons!
This blog is certainly not for accountants, as I believe they have their busiest time and will have the budget to hire a plumber to unclog the toilet!

The most common clogs in Los Angeles, occur when people tend to use their toilet bowls as trashcans, tossing in everything from baby wipes to paper towels, food and more. While human waste can cause a problem, the more often than not, too much paper being used is the biggest problem of clogged toilets in Los Angeles. It only takes a little blockage to become a big problem!

The Bigger Problem

Having a stopped-up toilet is an unacceptable inconvenience. If you run out hot water you can wait a while for the water to heat back up then commence with you shower, dish washing or laundry. Likewise, if your dishwasher goes on the blink you can always wash the dishes by hand. However, when the toilet gets clogged, your opinions are sorely limited and action must be taken!

The Right Tool For The Job

Of course, one of the best ways to unclog a toilet is by using that marvelous invention the plunger,

The toilet plunger consist of a long wooden handle with a open rubber cap at the end of it which is inserted into the toilet-water where, with an up and down pumping action, cause a suction that can free up mos clogs allowing the water to flow unrestricted once more. Yes, the plunger can be a very handy tool when it comes to loosing up debris, but a plunger can cause dirty water to splash out and it can not remove materials such as children toys, this been said Some Things Should Just Be Tossed in the Trash

So how to unclog a toilet without a plunger?

One effective method of unclogging a toilet without the use of a plunger involves liquid soap and a bucket of really hot but not boiling water. The following method should be employed only if the toilet is not brimming with water. There must be room for additional water to be added

What We need

  • A clogged toilet
  • Dish soap, shampoo, or any liquid soap that gets sudsy
  • Really hot water

What you do

Squirt/pour a generous amount of liquid soap into toilet bowl. Next, using a bucket or other vessel of transport, pour some really hot tap water into the toilet. Avoid using boiling water as thing may crack your porcelain.

Let this mixture stew for around thirty minutes, then flush as usual.
