"They don't break down like TP, so even small bits can build up over time..."
Yeah, paper towels are sneaky like that. Ever tried the "flushable" wipes? Those things are a plumber's nightmare too—trust me, I've pulled out enough of them to know. But speaking of shortcuts, anyone actually found a reliable app or site for quick plumbing info? Most I've seen are either outdated or just plain wrong... or am I just being overly skeptical again?
I've wondered about those apps too—seems like half the advice online just repeats the same myths. Has anyone found a source that's both accurate and eco-conscious? Would save me from triple-checking every tip...
I've noticed the same thing—tons of recycled myths floating around, especially when it comes to eco-friendly plumbing tips. Honestly, I've yet to find a single app or site that's consistently reliable on both accuracy and sustainability. Usually, I end up cross-checking with manufacturer specs or government-backed resources like EPA's WaterSense program. They're pretty solid, but not exactly quick and easy to navigate when you're in a pinch.
Speaking of shortcuts though, has anyone tried bookmarking specific YouTube channels or podcasts from actual plumbers who focus on green solutions? I've stumbled onto a few decent ones, but it's hit-or-miss. Curious if anyone else has had better luck finding trustworthy voices out there...
"Usually, I end up cross-checking with manufacturer specs or government-backed resources like EPA's WaterSense program."
Yeah, same here—WaterSense is solid but definitely not the quickest when you're elbow-deep under a sink. I've found a couple YouTube channels run by plumbers who genuinely know their stuff on eco-friendly fixes. One guy even debunks myths regularly, which is refreshing. Still, it's true they're pretty scattered...wish there was a better way to filter out the fluff and get straight to reliable info.
"wish there was a better way to filter out the fluff and get straight to reliable info."
Totally get you on that—YouTube's great until you stumble onto some DIY disaster waiting to happen. Honestly, I prefer forums or Reddit threads where actual plumbers chime in. Sure, they're not always lightning-fast, but at least you get multiple perspectives and someone usually flags sketchy advice. Learned the hard way once that shortcuts can cost you double the time (and money) later...
