Guide to close the water valves.
Your apartment has it's own individual set of valves.
- Domestic Hot Water.
- Domestic Cold Water.
You can find them inside of one of your closets.
Usually it's in one of the internal walls of the entrance closet but it could be inside of any other closet.
Look for a plastic square of about 15 x 15 cm or 6 by 6 inches.
Pull out the plastic square with your own hands, no need to use any tools.
(If you see a screw, then you are not in the right place).
Use a flash light to see inside:
You'll find 2 valves:
Colors:
Red = Hot Water.
Blue = Cold Water.
Valve Positions (from the pipe):
Parallel position = OPEN.
Perpendicular position = CLOSED.
OPEN VALVES
CLOSED VALVES

1. If a plumber will work in your apartment.
2. If you are having a leak.
3. If you are leaving your unit for a few days (vacation trip).
