Hi, Can someone tell me if Ajax (powder form) under your kitchen sink would make one of the hoses corrode and rust the bottom of the stainless-steel sink?? The hose was the hot water one. The Ajax canister was 1/4 full and expired Oct 2018 last year and was in lemon powder form and just sitting there but with the sticker off the top so the holes were exposed. They are trying to say that due to the fact it had Chlorine in it, this would have caused the damage? Therefore, they may not be liable and I need to go through my building insurance? I may have to take this one to court as they are trying to put the blame onto what I had under my kitchen sink. They first asked me if I had the ajax on the top shelf as the stainless-steel mesh around the rubber hose blew a hole in the hot water hose up the top? I said, "NO IT WAS UNDER THE SHELF AND ON THE BOTTOM FRONT OF THE DOORS" they then said heat rises and this may of caused the corrosion and hole etc. The damaged part was taken by the company that supplied it to the builder and is testing this and will be getting back to me with their report. I do believe they are going to put the blame onto me of course and to get out from fixing my damaged floating floor boards that have now bubbled and come up from the joins as well as my shelving under my sink they are ruined!

Previous to this I had a faulty seal on my kitchen mixer tap and this was found to be faulty and had caused hot boiling water to flow all over my kitchen floor and into my daughters’ room on her carpet etc (however they told me this only had a 6-month warranty on it and therefore was not void for them to fix anything)

AND, before this my tap was leaking on and off and the tap was loose however they didn’t come and fix this for some time with many calls and emails to them.

I believe the rust is due to the hot water leaks and the water damage from the faulty seal and loose tap causing water to seep out as I constantly found water on my shelves over the 2-year period of time I’ve lived in my new home.

Can someone that has a degree or some sort of knowledge about this type of thing please help me if they have any idea if this would of created the rust and the corrosion on my stainless steel hot water pipe to of created a hole and not the Ajax canister like the manufacturing company are going to say, I’m sure of it they will?

If it did then I will just have to wear it and accept it but I don’t trust them alone at this stage.

Thankyou Lisa
