At least in canada(where i reside) its illegal for anyone other then a licensed plumber to work on potable water..this is your drinking water and you could potentially be poisined with using the wrong materials by some cowboy who has not been properly trained..
Thanks
I respect that you are a licensed plumber!
However there is a prevision in the code that allows any plug in appliance that doesn't fall under the code which su*ks. Trust me it is a addendum, the big box stores has taken the position not to take the liability.
