Not the whole lot straight away, but if one piece has gone the odds are the rest will need doing sooner than later 30 Oct 2000 at 2:24 pm #288527 fourth yearParticipant If you could remove the rust, you would have holes in your pipes, and if you could coat the insides of the pipe, you would not be able to drink the water. So the answer is no. Author Posts Viewing 2 reply threads You must be logged in to reply to this topic. Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
