Safety Mascots Included

Funny does not mean careless

Every manga episode should keep the safety spine visible. SolarWaterKits.com teaches concepts, but it is not a plumbing permit, electrical permit, fire-code approval, water-treatment certification, or installation manual.

  • Test water before drinking.
  • Separate potable and non-potable systems.
  • Use licensed professionals where required.
  • Follow local codes and permits.
  • Maintain filters, tanks, pumps, batteries, and controls.
  • Label valves, breakers, tanks, pipes, and shutoffs.
