Instructional Video: Determining Pipe Size with the String Method

Earlier this week we explained how to determine your pipe sizes by using the string method.  Today we went ahead and made a short complementary video for you visual learners out there.

 

We plan to make more of these videos for all sorts of water treatment procedures, so we’d love to hear your feedback on this first one.  Let us know if you found this video helpful by leaving a comment here on the Clean Water Store blog, e-mailing us at support@cleanwaterstore.com, or leaving a comment on our Facebook page.  Thanks!
