    Yep! I once tugged the hose too hard and broke the pipe it was attached to and WAM! Water gushing up like a fountain. But luckily I knew where the ‘key’ (what’s the T thing called?) and got to the shut off valve in less than a minute.

    Imagine not knowing where it is and feeling so helpless as you watch that water drain your bank :(

      LOL, the ‘key’ is literally called a “water key”. Good job!

      (Pliers, of most sorts, work as well, but they’re a PITA vs. an actual tool for the job.)
