I have just replace a flexible hose which has a lot of rust on it, this was connected from the toilet tank to the cold water supply. I have replaced with another flexible hose but I am thinking about a better long term solution.
Should I go back to copper pipes or is there an alternative that will not rust?
I thought the flexibles were covered in SS? Should you not consider 'why' the condition that made it rust exist?
During the winter we did get condensation in the upstairs bathroom - I only assume this contributed to it rusting?
I will have a look to see if you can get flexible pvc pipes like the washing machine types - maybe I need these instead?

Or replace the pipe with some plastic pipe such as Hepworth Hep2O or Speedfit
Thanks Chris will have a look at these

Indeed: I've never seen one rust. Maybe it was some ultra cheap dodgy tat with ordinary non-stainless braiding.
