Whatever this is, it looks like the kind of thing my late grandmother would get talked into buying.
Still thinking about this.
I’m pretty sure this part is important.
@hotdogsladies It’s an open and shut case.

@drdrang Any chance you’d wanna take a crack at this one?

Give it to me straight, Doc. What am I looking at here?

@hotdogsladies What am I, a plumber? I assume there’s a backflow preventer in there, but that’s only because municipalities love to add backflow preventers and then force you to have them inspected every year.

Mainly I just wanted to make a joke about the red case having the words OPEN and SHUT stamped into it.

@drdrang @hotdogsladies I have experience managing a small community water company and the annual backflow certification thing is very real.
