Editorial Summary

The creator explains the maintenance procedures used to manage plumbing systems on the Celebrity Edge while the ship is out of service. Because the vessel has only 130 crew members on board, water usage is intentionally reduced to prevent stagnant water from accumulating in the pipes. Regular flushing is necessary to keep the water fresh, clear of sediment, and free of bacterial growth by maintaining chlorine residuals. The responsibility for this task is shared among the crew to cover galleys, bars, public restrooms, and thousands of guest and crew cabins. The creator focuses on the specific duties performed on deck 12, where they manage 167 guest staterooms and lockers. The process involves two distinct roles known as the opener and the closer. The opener is responsible for unlocking rooms and running all water sources, which can include up to 13 different points in some suites. Once the flushing is complete, the closer turns off the water and activates eco mode. This setting helps conserve energy by turning off lights, maintaining temperature, and lowering shades.
