> sprinklers in the aquatic center

I was working in the bathroom at a dorm today. There was an area with showers.

Four shower heads, 2 sprinkler heads......

Go figure.....

If your tile shower is on fire, you have real serious problems that a sprinkler isn't gonna fix ;P

You wouldn't believe  the damage one flaming co-ed can wreak.

If they would just stop, drop, and roll we could catch them and stomp the fire out.....

Chilly, I think it was 1977 when my partner and I heard a story the radio about how researchers in California (Ayup; just don't say it!) had found that PVC gave off carcinogens from the physical flow of water.  I commented to my pard, maybe we'll be hired to go back and replace PVC with copper again?  (We'd already been paid to do the reverse a few times.)  He said, bet against it.  The petro-industry ain't gonna let their piping go.  I heard the very same story again on the radio in the mid-1990s..., and sighed.  Anyway, my concern is the chemicals I'm encouraged to ingest in water (Chlorine is one) and food.  I've already gotten rid of 2 cancers and am working on a third.  I'll stick with "natural" stuff.  My health is worth more than saving a few bucks on materials.

Copper isn't all that nice either tho, several copper compounds, including the chlorides produced in slight quantities by the chlorine in the water are also toxic, and then there is all that lead based solder used for decades and decades....

I think they have actully changed the plasticizers in PVC because of issues with the old ones. I don't know if the new ones are any better, perhaps. We seem to have this thing about coming out with 'new and improved' and then finding out a decade later that it wasn't quite as improved as we thought....;P
