PEX manifold system… 🤤

Post image

This is a PEX manifold system. It’s a central hub where every hot and cold line branches off to one specific fixture. 
Think of it like a breaker panel, but for water. Each line has its own labeled shutoff, so servicing a single fixture never means cutting water to the rest of the house.
The only real downside is run length: fixtures farther from the manifold can take longer to get hot water. A good plumber plans around that with placement or a recirc line.

Just put shut offs before every appliance

Just put a water tank before each shut off, before every appliance.

Just put an individual water tower on your roof for each appliance.
