Will McGugan(@willmcgugan):Wife comes running into the living room frantically waving to get my attention. “We’ve got a leak!” She says. Water is pouring out from under the sink. Like a biblical food. Turned out this fucker was just waiting for the right moment to randomly burst and ruin dinner. Google says they have a lifetime of 5 to 10 years. I’m 52 and this is the first I heard of this nonsense. I’m sure they could last for 100 years but big Plumber has been suppressing the technology.
