How do you remove rust from metal plumbing pipes?
On the inside? Your only hope is just flushing the system; find one ball valve, sweat or threaded, with a hose cap on the bottom. Attach a garden hose to it. Find another one, preferably as far from the first as possible. Make sure both valves are open, and run the water. Make sure the supply valves are shut, though, or you'll just have more of a mess than necessary. Seeing as they are not AC/R pipes, you shouldn't have to replace anything liquid wise. Note: I'm a steam fitter, so I might be wrong. Not sure of what type valves plumbing pipes use. On the outside, just sand it with the same grit sand paper you'd normally use to prepare it for soldering. Hope this helps.

Why is it important to make sure that water pipes do not freeze on cold nights?
Water expands when it freezes. If water pipes are allowed to freeze then the pressure of the expanding ice inside them will fracture the pipes. Then when the temperature rises so that the ice melts, the pipes will leak - with resulting damage.
Why is gold not used to make water pipes?
BECAUSE ITS EXPENSIVE IDIOT. Unless someone is super rich and wants to make pipes out of gold for the most stupidest reason, that's the only way it will be used. But why the hell would you want to WASTE gold like that??? Water pipes are hidden so theres no point in using such a beautiful mineral. Try another metal that doesn't rust other than gold -.-
