I live in the desert southwest and we have a constant drought condition. Over the years, giant waterworks projects have rerouted water to desert areas
and people live like it is the tropics sometimes.
US is so regional that floods and drought are part of the landscape.

Silly me, I thought a "hosepipe" ban was a ban on using Flexpipe underground. Glad my friend Mr Dewolfe understood. No drought in my area, 79
inches precip in 2011, this yr has been dry, dry is good for business.
Sure has been a dry spell of comments here on the forum.

Hosepipe
I love flex-pipe. Just did a job on a pool with 9 runs of flex-pipe. 7 were bad... all on the return side. We were able to cut out a few flag stones
and get a new 2 inch PVC line to the skimmer so that the pool can run. The lines were leaking at a 5 to 6 foot depth. We could hear them but a pit
would have to be dug to get to them. The owners did not want to spend the $$$ to have it hand dug (only way) so we went with the alternate
solution.
Love those termites....
And the builders keep using the stuff. Saves a couple of hours of time vs doing the job correctly.
Good for us leak guys!!
