How do I melt ingredients in a double boiler (sometimes called a hot water bath)?

Beauty Recipes at MakeYourCosmetics.com
To make a double boiler or hot water bath to melt ingredients, fill a large saucepan 1/4 full with water and bring it to a full boil. Lower the temperature so that the water is boiling but not fully. Measure the ingredients to be melted into a heat proof measuring cup (such as one made by Pyrex or Corning) and place the cup into the boiling water. The heat from the boiling water will gently melt the ingredients in the measuring cup. Follow the recipe as usual.

WHAT IS A COMBI BOILER AND IS IT BETTER THAN A CONVENTIONAL HOT WATER STORAGE SYSTEM?

Proplumb & Heating Services Ltd - Home page
A combination or combi boiler is designed to heat your water 'on demand' - when you turn the hot tap on, the boiler fires up and heats the water as it passes through. A conventional or storage system heats fires up for a given period every day and heats the water in a copper storage tank. This makes for a quick fill of the bath, but the downside is that the supply is finite and that no matter how well the tank is lagged, it will lose some heat. See similar questions...

What do I do with the drain water from my sink (shower)?

It should not be dumped directly on the ground, but disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. This would include capturing it and transporting to a dump station.
