Not the right tool. Two holes cut with self-feed bit or holesaw trimmed with a sawzall. Quicker and neater.
could it have been installed sideways?
@@ldenorio No due to the self draining feature. When you remove the adapter it drains a tiny bit of water but this is what clears the line to keep the frost free protection working perfectly every time It would be interesting for them to make a horizontal version though to make a retrofit install even easier.
@@SilverCymbal thanks for the reply
@Willie I was wondering the same thing, my house is 70 years old made of cement blocks with copper pipes.
I really like the fact that there's an adapter that looks almost exactly like the one he replaced.
Hahaha. Exactly. And The new is dripping water down the wall already.
Instead of one adapter, you need one for every hose!
Yeah that was really dumb plus the fact that it’s made of what looks like cheap plastic
That's the upgraded adapter remember...
@@MrShiraazkhan our outside faucet is over 40 years old, and it doesn't leak. Plastic will break down with sun light. I'll stick with my old faucet.
Looks like a great idea. Unfortunately, most houses won't be that easy to access the back of the original plumbing.
Yes, I agree plumbing things like this is different in every situation. This was a good one, not just for access but even for me to be able to share it.
@@SilverCymbal I'm definitely tired of leaky faucets. Having to turn off the water and change packing every so often gets old.
That's so true!
EXACTLY
So true! Mine is into BRICK and main insulated wall to kitchen behind.
Yes that's great! I've got another great idea: Replace your electrical outlets with proprietary connectors, so you can't plug in normal devices without expensive adapters!
Rofl, I was about to get this fancy looking one cause mine was already damaged.
At least till they show that adaptor, and I just went local store to grab exactly the same one I had.
This way you can change your receptacles hot without turning power off. Very convenient for small premium!
Jeez how many different cables do you have into your house to get water? What if those 'expensive adapters' only cost $100 for 5 cables over 10 years and you never used more than 5. and you didn't have to unscrew your cable from the wall 100 times over the next 10 years and the 1000 times over the next 10 years you dont have to annoyingly screw a valve to get more juice? (Also so much cleaner with fewer cables laying on the ground constantly plugged into the house.)
It's cool but I literally only connect one hose to mine, I'd get it otherwise as you don't need to bother turning a valve or about it corroding though it's probably overpriced af.
Maybe id go with something similar as I'm a fan of the quick connect/disconnect without any leaks and the fact it will last more than 5 years
Curious how you would go about designing an auto-shutoff valve without a special connector? I mean, I know auto-shutoff isn't needed, but if you wanted to make it?
So this is a Apple version of Outdoor Faucet. Brilliant!
hahahaha
This product really comparing itself to something that has been attached to my house for 80 years and working perfectly.
Modern Versions of the same item are made too cheap is the problem. It is getting harder to find better versions of the item.
These are failed all over and often times cause tons of damage
not to mention the proprietary nature of it. It's a dumb idea. hose threads exist. hoses have them. done.
Oh so you're the one.
@@mrniusi11 sometimes the water handle thing leaks though when it wears out, but it guess you can just replace it and it'll last a long time.
TH-cam ads are getting really clever lately. Not only is this 4 minutes long, but I willingly clicked on it and watched the whole thing.
Yep, I did the same.
Yep! But when have you ever been able to read comments on ads? lol
Same
Me too, and I don’t even own a home...
@@willia1918 same
Nice, I like how I'll need an adapter for every single hose that looks and functions just like the original one he replaced. As an added bonus it's made of long lasting plastic! It's not like the cold and hot cycles of the seasons won't ruin that fast!
Unlike most quick connects at least they don't leak with double o-rings. Do what you but they didn't get 5 star reviews on Amazon by accident, my friend loves his too.
@@SilverCymbal requiring an adapter is nothing but added complexity by adding another part that can and WILL fail over time. 5 star amazon rating is a joke in the face of reliability over time.
@@SilverCymbal o rings break and need replaced what do you do then. i estimate 5 years is a hopeful estimate in a place like california maybe 1 or 2 in a place that sees weather
@@SilverCymbalthey get it by paying for it that’s how online reviews work lol
@@emanuelsommar7243 Drawing board? So you don't like it. You never installed or used one, I have and so have hundreds of thousands of happy customers. As have over a million of them installed on boats. Not really sure what you are laughing, these are mandated in many communities and they are frost free and meet every safety spec and thensome in Canada and the US. Sorry you are so late to the game, I made this video 2 years ago and they have been a best seller ever since. so all the issues you seem to think will happen are long past.
This would be perfect if you've already planned to install one before you begin construction on your brick house. In most cases, it is a cool idea but just not worth ripping your drywall to access the water pipeline.
when you normal replace one you simple screw it in

😂😂 THAT was funny.
The nice thing about the "old style" petcock? It keeps the water away from the house if it's leaking instead of inside the wall where it can't be seen.
Yep and if it does leak it'll leak outside and away from the house. This thing will ruin your walls and create an even bigger headache to deal with. Cool concept but I'd rather not deal with a problem like that.
Are you saying the old ones have a benefit of leaking at the tap and not in the wall? I’m just confused reading the comment lol
@@pandahz79 thats what they’re saying, but that’s technically not entirely true. If you live anywhere it freezes, the old style are notorious for freezing up if not drained, creating a flood and interior damage. Even the “Frost Free” ones with a vent on top will if not drained and it gets too cold.
Also, how much are the fancy fittings for these?
The problem with the too fancy ones, is the water is either on, or it’s not. So if you live in an area that freezes, you can’t just slightly open the spigot and get a small drip, you have to have water flowing out
Also, it’s $100, so way too much money for something you can lose the adapter to, and not have running water.
@@mplsmtnbiker3867 okay and again. How does a faucet change the possibility of a leak inside the house. Especially older homes, they will have water damage in the walls from a leaking pipe or whatever it may be. How does having a traditional faucet on the outside of my house protect all the lengths of water pipe inside the walls. Seems to me like you can put whatever style of faucet you want it all comes down to the plumber that originally built the home
That dripping water of the side of the house is going to look great in a few years. You made an issue that didn't exist before, good job 👍🏽
This is more of a water security device than anything. Good idea for areas or businesses that experience water theft.
This looks like a superb idea to solve a problem that never existed in the first place
K
The frostfreeness is nice. Regular faucetts like to break in the winter.
Mine broke in the big freeze in Texas this last winter. I wish it would have been available at the time. I ended going with some cheap Chinese faucet that will be breaking relatively soon like everything else I buy from that source. I like the PEX connection too. I switched a lot of my piping to PEX after that disaster.
I live in canada and all we use is freeze proof hydrants.
There doesn't need to be a problem to make improvements
Remove your outside tap to install this new product. When finished installing it. You can connect a outside tap in to it to run like the old garden tap. Haha 😅😂😂
Yup , just sad
I agree with you. Makes no sense
No, it is much better than the old one.
You always have to screw on a stupid adapter 🙈
yeah don't forget that a tap is like what? 5 bucks? goes to shit in the next 50 years, who cares. Now how much is this ?....
Siding box on the old spiget would be the upgrade. This thing is one season away from leaking.
2:24 The different lengths are partially to do with the wall thickness but also the longer the pipe the more freeze protection they provide. Just like standard freeze proof hydrants, the actual shut off point is at the connecting end, again to isolate it from the cold. From the looks of the installation in the video, the house is in a location that never freezes.
The old school hose bib works just fine !!
Just realized that I willingly watched a 5 minute advertisement.
@Sound Money You mean, like a spell checker?

@@jimswenson6131 My second grade spelling teacher, put a spell on me. She was hot, whenever I saw her, I just had to sit down for a spell.
Funny
Wait...So I can replace my universal, inexpensive, reliable hose bib with an expensive device that relies on a proprietary plastic adapter to be of any use at all? Oh yeah, sign me up for that one.
Yeah I like the flush covered look but when they said it needs those adapters I’m out.
Yea, those giant long adapter that stick 7 inches from the wall will break the second you pull on the hose. and HOLY F i just looked at the price of the adapters, they are $29 USD!!!
I can buy a NICE spigot and Metal quick connect fitting for less money.... the fu**
😂😂
TRUE
You also can't leave your hose connected, because it's 'always on'. With the old style, you could leave the hose connected, and just turn off the tap.
Just followed your advice and installed the Aquor hose bib. I had my own set of challenges going through my brick veneer and horizontal foundation wall, but I got working in the end and my wife is very happy. We like that we can remove the adapter so that our kids can't turn the water on and leave it on overnight. Thanks for the helpful videos!
So glad you are loving them, they are really great and my friend is still loving his, very happy with it,
Hole saws can grab and break vinyl siding very easily especially when going thru the edge of a course. Pro tip: use the hole saw but run the drill in reverse until your thru the vinyl. Put the drill in forward for the wood
I can't remember the last time I drove by a house and said "Man that would be a nice place if it wasn't for that water spigout".
I agree!!!
LMAO!!!
Haha didn’t even look at them. Moved in found two outta the three were broken, bought replacements and done.
Hilarious😂🤣
The power meter next to the stairs stood out like dogs balls, didn’t even notice the tap
I still love old style, easy to fix, and cheap to replace.
For NEW home construction - remember to inform the plumber to install a loop flexible pipe inside the wall . REASON = if future repairs are required for Aquor Hydrant.
A Loop pipe allows to slide the Aquor hydrant in and out , for inspection / repair or replacement.
Saves the customer by not having to be home or open the front door. Having the ability to service an item without entering the house is a big selling point for home owners.
We recently built a new home and installed 3 Aquor valves. The algorithm and your channel did my family a solid. Appreciate the review.
Exactly the same thing for my family and I. We found these thanks to this channel and algorithm. Great investment for our new home.
"Now you just insert this cheap plastic spigot that replaces your old brass spigot."
yep and when you don't need it you REMOVE the spigot all together and have a nice clean good looking hatch debris cover :-) I call that a win!
@@nerys71 Probably made in China too. I´ll be keeping my brass fixtures thank you.
And by three or four for each spigot so you can lose them and buy more.
Technically, the "spigot" is stainless, the hose adapter is what's plastic. However, $80-$100!!! I'm out!
Plastic and stainless steel is way better for a lot of well water than brass.
Well gee, Ive been looking for a way to needlessly complicate my hose bib.
Lmaooo 🤣
👆🤣🤣🤣 So True
It's meant to look good.
@@TGDarkClaw alot of things are meant to look good but if it sacrices functionality I'll stick to the conventional method that can still be presented in a way to look good anyways
@@TGDarkClaw Replace nice looking brass with a huge fugly looking plastic adapter that can be lost and WILL wear down and become looser and looser with use meaning you shell out another $100 for a new pile of needless shit. These types of products are a tax on stupidity.
Great idea. Replace a generic old fashion faucet with a clean modern device that needs proprietary adaptors. Genius.
Yeah, it's like you can just run to the hardware store and get a new adapter when you lose the old one.
I love the idea of making thinks more simple with something that requieres an adapter to everything you want to connect to
There's no technology that won't create 2 additional issues that can be solved with more technology. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Do a brick house that has copper pipe installed then i'll be impressed.
Yeah try an English house 😂😂
Lol that's what I'm saying that's how my home is its through the concrete basement wall
Just a little more work, but the result is the same. Don't be scared, you can do it. 😉
Lol, but it’s so simple
I use to be scared of brick foundation and facades for any type of drilling and or cutting.
Once u get the whole everything is gonna go wrong with brick work, u then will find out it’s not as nearly hard as one may have thought the whole time. I know I played this into my head at a young age. Always was scared to touch anything to do with masonry no matter concrete brick or what have u.
Sounds like that's gonna be a ton of fun when the calcium builds up and prevents the internal spring/seals from working properly. Not to mention when you loose your "adapter" and have to wait a week for a new one to be shipped because I doubt any stores will have that in stock.
The plastic hinge would've snapped way before then and you'd have bought an entire replacement so you'll have the spring.
@@MrOzzy281 LOL!!! 100%
Looking for this comment and I was not disappointed :)
IT'S $150 FOR THIS THING LOL
@@21boxhead A fool and his money are soon parted. 😃
I prefer the old spigot, all you have to do is hook up a quick disconnect at the beginning of your hose to eliminate screwing the hose on/ and or off the spigot.
I agree with you. Plus, you can spend your $150 bucks on something you really need.
I can see this being useful in commercial settings where you don't want unauthorized use. But for homes, this seems inconvenient when you need immediate access to water. The regular faucet seems more functional.
“Upgrade” he says.... yeah yeah, all you need to do is get this adapter, and then this other adapter along with the third adapter annnnnnnnnd you end up with a spigot you can misplace 😃
Here’s a tip for anyone trying to use a hole saw on siding, run your drill backwards until you get through the siding it will stop your drill from dancing all over and you can get a real nice clean hole
Stop being an internet parrot. Repeating what you saw on the last video you watched. Bet you dont even own a hole saw.
@@tinfoil1463 Shaddap! I appreciate his tip, regardless of if it's repeated or not.
@@tinfoil1463 weak ass metal
@@tinfoil1463 Yeah, he copied someone almost verbatim. But he added the part about a nice clean hole, and I love nice clean holes.
@Asian sex symbol don't do it. You will ruin the teeth on the hole saw. They are supposed to cut and carve not be filed down by grinding against the wood or whatever surface you have. If you have vinyl siding it's probably gonna be fine tho
I dunno why I find your videos so fascinating? Anyways you are doing something right. Thanks for the content!
As a plumber, I would cry if someone asked me to replace this cause you know someone’s gonna put it on a block wall with no siding
This is a perfect example of a fix that didn’t have a problem.
You lost me at adapter
There is a problem, actually. Pipes freeze and burst, and you have this bit of pipe that's not insulated sticking out of your house because of your obsession with grass. So it can freeze, and explode your pipes, and cost you thousands. The actual solution is to remove it entirly, and stop having a grass based yard.
Does the old hose bib really detract from the look of the house?
@@MeepChangeling OR... you properly winterize your hose bibs. Takes maybe 20 minutes.
I'm here looking for this comment. Why?
@@MeepChangeling Dat Grass.
Tip for next time: When running a holesaw in vinyl siding, start in reverse till you have a nice groove started. Makes centering and starting the hole a LOT easier.
Great tip!
As soon as I saw that bit going forward I’m like “nooo it will walk or split”
Yep, I did that when drilling holes in an acrylic shower surround and a fiberglass exterior RV wall.
Great tip. Never thought of doing that.
If there's one thing everyone loves...
it's a great tip!!
Thank you.
I'm a believer in stacking hole saws on the same pilot. Put the larger one, then the smaller one to fix the existing hole and go to town. Smaller fits existing hole, larger one makes the size you need.
naw that oldie goldie been working for years with no complaints, imma keep it rolling my G. From green grass to free sips when i was a kid, bro was there for me.
I really like how expensive this is.
The water running down the siding will eventually corrode and discolor where it sits in the sun, an issue the original faucet wouldn't have as it was spaced out from the siding.
This whole thing is a big stupid ad
Good point didn’t think of that. Over time a small leak or even drip will leave iron and mineral stains.
Don't get me wrong, I hate this idea, but that's not a leak, that's just the backsplash from every time he attached that adapter or whatever. Still bad to have that hard water splashing all over your house every time you turn the water on or off, even if it's not a continual leak. I'd like to see this house after a year of having that thing on there.
Funny how most people think this product is stupid
That's just a splash, not leak. My regular faucet does the same thing.
I like my traditional faucet. Screw in, turn handle. Boom. Works.
it's very nice. would love to have something like this when i buy a SFH one day. where i live, we have multiple water valve and one's inside the temp controlled garage so can use it all year round
Man, if I had such easy access to plumbing like this, all my stuff would be tip top.
You’re a simple man aren’t you…😏
Yeah. That’s a bit of a kicker. I’ve got a bunch of old faucets from the 80s that are falling apart. I’m going to need to do something. Probably cut the wallboard out and then patch it back later.
5 to 10 times the price of a traditional spigot and you've bought your self into a proprietary solution that may or may not be around in a few years when you need replacement parts. I'll pass.
Yup, absolutely pointless.
Guaranteed to break in NO time because it's plastic instead of metal.
@@kevinmatthews2270 maybe if you live in Alaska. Pex has great range from min to max temp adjustment. I used whole steel crimp rings though, 100% squeeze, that crimp shown is more like a belt.

"Hose bibbs haven't changed much since the early 1900s"
Because they work.
They do freeze up and you can't replace them without unsoldering. But I agree, they work well. Should all be changed to ball valves though - better and more reliable.
They work until they freeze and cost you thousands in pipe repairs. I'll bet hundreds of thousands people in Texas wish they had one right about now
@@Inspectorzinn2 Thankfully the only pipe I had burst was one in my shop and it didn't hurt anything. Just had to put a new fitting on and squeegee out the water
Yep. Please, dear genius web poster, explain how to vary the water output from your stupid "improved" thing.
Just because something works, does not mean it cannot be improved upon...
WOW!!! this is nice. Was not aware this was available. I'll ask my plumber to see if he can do this for me. Thanks!
I hope not!
It's going to be really sturdy fixed on with 4inch screws. Maybe bend the 3 inches sticking out the back for additional strength 💪 🤣
"now to use it insert an adaptor" thats the downfall. You have to buy proprietary parts. Which is kind of a downgrade to most americans.
why fix what isn't broken? thats really what it comes down to
It’s a downgrade to most people. Not just Americans dudeee
As a plumber imma charge more to work on this kinda stuff just cuz it's more of a pain in the ass than a normal outside hydrant
Next thing u know, ur gonna need a secure internet connection in order for it to work
@@wabbajedda Plus, you know your customer is clueless.
Example: uninsulated vinyl siding wall into a garage.
My house: 70 year old brick wall on a concrete slab.
You got better options.
Make a shut off inside and just turn the water off/empty the line in winter. Most homes have enough room to do this. Just follow the line.
Can also add an extension to the shutoff. They sometimes fit in the original hole. All this does is move the shut off about a foot into the house so it wont freeze. It will look exactly the same as before.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why would you put something modern on a 70 year old house anyway
No one can steal your water. Cool invention.

It's also crooked as hell
Exactly my thoughts.... if that is a fancy door handle then I paid way too much for my top of the line model. 😂
Door handle looks like it was dragged behind a truck for a few thousand miles or something. That thing looks like an absolute piece of crap! But I guess if you think that's a "fancy" handle then you'd also think this moronic tap is a good idea too!
"Nice lights and a fancy door handle" - lol!
I see a major problem with this. In cold climates, with the water always on and next to the front of the faucet, there is a significant opportunity for freezing and a burst pipe.
These are a frost free design. The water is not actually held next to the front of the faucet, it's at the opposite end. As long as that spot is above freezing, it's all good.
0:27 Wow look at that FANCY door handle honey😅I seen fancier door handles on my kids lunchbox.
I have to say the coolest thing on here was the crimper having a light on it to tell you its good so you don't flood your house!
I like the new style it looks clean, but I would buy the adapter with the valve so i could shut off the water and leave the hose attached. I'm just wondering how well it's made and what its life expectancy is compared to the traditional one. I still think a nice shiny red handle on a brass fixture looks more country, especially in a rural areas. Decorative in its own way. Like an old water well, with its bucket full of flowers laying on the front lawn. And if your worried about the kids playing with the water, just let them play, because they are kids and that's how they have fun and learn on a hot day, or simply keep the screw out of the handle and put it up somewhere so they can't turn it on! Just like dad used to do! Lol.

so remove a perfectly good $20 METAL faucet that lasts 100 years, with built in tap & threading to add An $100 apple style faucet that each connection to item will require a fitting, that will last a short time, Why make life overly complicated?
Traditional faucets are still in use for a reason- they work. I would not call it "leak free." I saw leaking in the video from the vacuum breaker @ 4:15 and 4:18 when it was being connected and disconnected. That loss of water will add up over time.
That's not a leak, that's just how a vacuum breaker works. The amount of water that comes out is what's inside the hydrant when the valve closes, and that's the same with any frost-free design.
I got a pair- works fantastic!
*That’s gonna be a “No” from me, dawg.*
You're going to the hardware store , dawg!
Yeah... so my house is made of concrete... I’m not destroying it to install one of this and then spend a lot on repairing the concrete.
Why not?
dont blame you stick to a standard installation there is nothing wrong with them. in the uk it freezes mine isnt even insulated and its been there over 10 years and it still works good.
its not hard to drill through stucco
Nobody asked.
This new type seems to be just as big as the old one, but most of it sits inside the wall.
The actual water runs far to the outside, so very likely to freeze in winter.
A proper thing here means there is something that turns so the water is turned off far inside the wall, where it is insulated from freezing.
Great job using a painters caulk to seal around the outside which will separate and crack after the first rain storm
I've had the usual outdoor faucets my entire life and didn't realize they were all crap and should be replaced until you told me so.
I never said they were crap. These have some mechanical advantages and improved looks
great install a outdoor faucet that uses a proprietary fitting instead of one i can get at my local hardware store, sounds like a great solution.
How to replace your perfectly good, reliable spigot with a composite contraption that doesn't allow you to meter the flowrate.
In the future I would like to build myself a stealth truck to live in. This kind of outdoor fitting would do well for that.
I'm pretty sure we have had freezeproof sillcocks for a while up here in the north. This device also adds an extra step say when you just need to rinse off your hands. You have to go an attach the spigot piece. Looks nice but function wise I don't like it unless you need it so children or random people won't turn it on.
The one advantage of this is that you can get it in custom lengths. (If there's any other company that will do this, someone please let me know). I live in a super-insulated house, and there are no other freeze-proof hose bibs long enough to get through the wall. Currently I just have a regular house bib that I have to be really careful to disconnect the water to when it might freeze. The Aquor is $$$, I'm talking hundreds of dollars for the custom length ones.
Next thing to be invented, square wheels.
😂😂

This comment makes my triangled snow wheels feel primitive.
The show MythBusters tackled that a few years back. Square rims with rubber on an F250... didn't go so well though, lol.
Have you heard of whistlindiesel?
The spigot has been around for over 100 years and is a proven winner. This new thing relies on a 1mm O-Ring. When that wears out, look out for big problems. No Thanks
If you like what you have thats fine, but spigots with hard rubber washers have also been leaking for generations and together probably with millions of gallons wasted. It's a spring backed viton o-ring which is the best made. I am not saying the history of the old design isn't sound but this product is built like it belongs on a submarine, it's not a cheap thing by any stretch.
Everything leaks eventually. Just part of owning a house. Sinks, showers, toilets etc all leak and need maintenance from time to time. No biggie
1/4 turn ball valve hose bib. No washers or o-rings.
@@Shawn-rq4py precisely...just like automobiles, every vehicle will need something tightened, and/or replaced....normal wear-and-tear.
i agree too
We've had a "neighbor" use the water at a rental property without our permission to wash his car and other stuff because we had the old school spigot so this would be PERFECT for issues like this!
This is a nice item, I like it. GET RID OF OUTDATED JUNK FAUCETS. Replace them with 1/4 turn ball valve faucets. No o-rings and no gaskets. I replaced everyone of mine many years ago and have not had one leak or drip since. You can get ball valve faucets at any home improvement or hardware. I live in Michigan, USA. I have all outside 1/4 turn ball valve faucets and have never had a leak or a freeze problem. Old style faucets spigots are nothing but trouble.
It never ceases to amaze me how American houses are built of wood, not a single brick.
Nice isn't it?
Lol
THE POWER OF cheap
A lot of houses where I live have bricks
Cost
My faucet that's been working just fine the past ~15 years: "Am I a joke to you?"
I'm going to be replacing my spigots this spring. This is interesting, but I'm just gonna go with getting some fittings for a quick connect setup.
Future reference, use the hole saw to make a hole in a plank of wood, and place it over where you want to drill. What is underneath, holewise, becomes irrelevant and the top half was easily drillable.
Great carpenters' trick; surprised the carpenter in the video did not know that one.
@@Firedog-ny3cq It might just not have been worth it. He already needed to use the oscillating tool to clean up the material that would be left between the two holes.
A professional carpenter who uses Harbor Freight tools to hamfist a hole through siding and particleboard.
There’s actually nothing unusual about this lol
More and more commonplace. Pros realize tools are just that. Tools. Meant to be used. They are a consumable. If they work. Then what is the harm.
No problem, Harbor Freight, Lowe's, Home Depot, all made in China. Plus much cheaper to replace Harbor Freight tools if they "walk off the jobsite". VERY common problem. Take the good tools for interior finish projects, when its needed and easier to know who has access to your stuff.
Should I throw away all my harbor freight tools???
@@marcosmartinez6380 yes, absolutely. And with EXTREME prejudice.
This is the future....why haven't we got a "hoseless" version that connects via bluetooth yet? 🤔😉
I think Michael Carbonaro already had that thought...
th-cam.com/video/-O_YCboJhvQ/w-d-xo.html
LOL Right on, and if anyone knows about bluetooth -- it's VERY insecure. I had my phone unknowingly talking to my computer via bluetooth (I didn't know it was activated in the first place). The next thing I know I'm buying liquor in a store about 600 miles from where I live.
@@kevinmatthews2270
Im guess I'm just old but I don't trust any of that crap. I do zero money/banking on my phone. Screw that. Its easy to lose a phone too.
Loved this.. and how cool to see my name Cymbal as apart of your TH-cam name. Please keep the videos coming, very helpful!!
Okay, I thought that was a great idea. I didn't know there was something like this 👍
Sacrificing simplicity and robustness for aesthetics, apple should sell this, suckers would eat it up.
You're onto something Zach...
Introducing the Apple Faucet... just don't forget to connect your Apple Hose!
;)
@@stevesullivan9752 Will only pump Apple water. From the Apple well.
@@tubefluid and it will only be Apple well water from the Apple water treatment facilities powered by Apple solar
I'm waiting for Apple Aqua Patch to come out next month, apply it like a band-aid and there's no need to drink water.
Boy you guy's are soooo behind on things. 😆
@@stevesullivan9752 nah, you’d need the dongle first. They don’t include it in the box anymore because of the environment.
Lets say it together guys: "if it aint broke, don't ... .." I think we all know how it ends.
If it ain’t broke, fix it ‘til it is
Right?! Also my question is....why? If it works why mess with it?
*cough* sponsor *cough*
That installation would drive me crazy as the piece is sticking out at the bottom.
Fix it until it is
I like it. Looks nice and it keeps the bums from having a hose-shower in your front yard.
*sighs in city-dweller*
It's a sillcock valve. All commercial buildings have them . It's cool I'll install them on my house
this finally resolves a long mystery. There is a house in the beach that had this weird thing. we thought it was to connect an RV but seems like they just didn't want people to use their water.
This is answering a question that was never asked...
Ah yes I too hate innovation
@@SamSheffer117 how exactly is this innovative? (Aside from the obvious fact that the company gets to sell you a ridiculous proprietary adapter)
@@silaskuemmerle2505 its not innovation...
Yes very nice that you can access the back of your old faucet unlike 99.999999% of all applications. Cut the crap & tell it like it is! New construction fine. Retro fit (as you elude to) forget it unless you want to shed out on a boat load for cutting into walls, making up the plumbing fitting (9/10 copper & not PEX) making that connection, repairing, taping, floating & painting your wall inside. Good Luck!
Yes, it was just a stunt house. And when I installed it through 10 inches of concrete it was really cake flour dyed gray and another fake house: th-cam.com/video/HyD7OkmcaQ0/w-d-xo.html - Every outdoor faucet is drilled into the crawlspace or basement, all accesible.
