Outdoors – The most common example in a home environment is a garden hose attached to a outside tap or hose bibb with the end of the hose connected to a pesticide sprayer or left submerged in a ornamental pool; underground lawn watering (irrigation) systems. Indoor fixtures – water closet (toilet), laundry sink c/w hose and handheld shower heads immersed in water Other – boilers, fire protection systems , and in-home water treatment (softeners) systems, high pressure washer, etc.,.
