    Then the comment obviously doesn’t relate to you. I stated in the first comment about a basement.

    If you don’t have a basement, you can’t shower in your basement…

      I have a basement…I can and do shower in my basement. No weird pumps required and I can disconnect the house from the main and still have hot water.

      It’s specific to your area where this weird ass pump is required.

        I can also disconnect from the main and have hot water. Not sure what a water heater has anything to do with pumping the basement waste water out to the city/septic tank.

        It’s definitely not specific to my area. Septic tanks are common around the world, for example.

          What are you even talking about anymore…the whole point was that atmospheric can be ran without power and still provide hot water.

          Stop talking about waste water and pumps and septic. It has nothing to do with the conversation.

      I live in the US, my sewer pipes are lower than the basement. No pumps are required where I live to shower or do laundry in the he basement.
