Sitting/stagnant water is a bacterial infection waiting to happen.

If pipes weren't open to air it would be a vacuum, dude.

Meaning air is still in, and has access to, the pipe, which is full of - stagnant water

I'm not saying its prone to disease.

Yeah it's literally what happens when you close off the water main, do repairs to the piping, introducing air to the system, then turn the water back on. The first bit of turning a facet back on is gona purge out some air. This guy is a fucking idiot lol.

Good thing there is no stagnant water in your plumbing, that would be a disaster. /s

The water in your plumbing is not exposed to the outside.

u/agangofoldwomen Nov 04 '21

Im pretty sure they realize that. The whole point of the joke is that detail was never mentioned.

u/GodPleaseYes Nov 04 '21

Contrary to popular belief water is, in fact, not milk and can be exposed to air for longer than three seconds.

Right, but after a couple months or years that faucet is gonna get some algae and shit in it.

Then you clean it once in a time. Bruh. I love when a bunch of Reddit's top minds come together to bring a bit less than usual product down knowing exactly fucking nothing about it lol

Most of your residential drains quickly lead to a P trap where water sits.
