I just watched a couple of American videos claiming that the no.1 cause of water damage in the home is burst waching machine hoses. They claim that the rubber/plastic kind don't last long. They recommend replacing them with stainless steel-braised ones.
Dos this advice apply equally well in the UK?
Personally, I've never had a washing machine hose fail. Perhaps our UK hoses are beter than the ones in the US - or perhaps their water pressure is typically higher?
I would imagine that a cold water feed hose is likely to last longer than one carrying hot water. Anyone agree?
Cheers,
