Various chemicals cause rust to enter the water lines. Due to a change in water pressure, the rust is carried to the various fixtures and appliances and comes out through them. The dark shade of the water may actually be dirt which enters the water supply as a result of a break in the pipe. The glass lining in the water heater may in some way be damaged, thus causing the metal jacket to rust.

Discolored or rusty water may occur as a result of a few different events. If a fire hydrant has been opened for routine testing ("flushing,"usually performed in the month of October), or if City street sweepers have opened the hydrant to fill their trucks, residents nearby may experience dirty or discolored water.

A. Fire hydrant flushing and water main repairs can disturb sediments in water mains, resulting in red or brown-colored tap water. If you detect red or discolored water, turn on a single COLD water tap for a few minutes to flush any sediment out of your pipes.

These will attack the hinges and cause permanent damage which it is impossible to repair.

No. Rust Converter should only be applied to the rusted areas, not the whole surface. After the Rust Converter has completely cured, it is recommended to wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove all excess Rust Converter before you apply the oil-based paint. Rust Converter will glaze coat the non-rusted areas causing the paint not to adhere to those areas as well.

This can be a tough one to fix,but it is often best to start with a couple of simple checks. First, check the rubber door seal.
