steelze 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 POST Reno Hiccup - RUSTY water piping to washing machine Relatives visited my place last Saturday. One uncle spotted that my stainless steel water piping connecting to my washing machine is rusty. This is ridiculous becuase it is suppose to be stainless steel. He told me that probably plumber used alloy material with 50% stainless steel and 50% other metal composit. I called up my ID. He said probably kena acid during chemical wash. Plumber (LuckyKoon) again is coming down today afternoon (without any prior notice of 1 day) to fix the problem... sianz.. dunno i am suay or what.. plumber (luckyKoon) has already made 4 trip for post reno recitification on their plumbing work... even the lady boss recognise my voice when i called her and she memorises my address and mboile number already... my concern now is these are exposed pipe which can be easily replaced. but how about those boxed up by my kitchen cabitnet and living room L-box? i dun even know if they are rusty by now... only when water start dripping on my kitchen solid top and TV console then i can tell...

neubie 2 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 the screws used in the pipe clamps are not stainless steel, so will rust. the pipes shouldn't exhibit rust spots, dark or discolored spots should still be acceptable. every day when u wake up, its good practice to let the stagnant water in the pipes run a while(use it to flush toilets or presoak laundry) to get rid of the any taste/smell.

The toilet roll holder I bought got some patches, still feeling a bit lazy to clean at the moment, but maybe someday when I got mood, i might ... btw i remembered GR Link's Benny said just use water, don't use chemicals - so which is better now?
