I like the Ridgid Forum as well…
A very professional site and cleanly run.
The guy’s on there are all big time pro’s and act the part.
Terry Love’s Forum is a great site…
He’s like the Grand Daddy of plumbers on the web.
One of the first plumbers to harness the web for their business,
Running a great forum that reaches far beyond his business area.
Helping people understand their plumbing problems and telling it like it is.
Plumbing Zone Forum is a bit more on the wild side.
For Professional Plumbers Only!
If you are not a plumber don’t go there!
