water rat-proof base

Like in "rot proof steel welded wire fence" or "Triumphs from that era seem to have been made from rot-proof steel" or "phosphate film rot-proof steel sheet " or "rot proof steel wire mesh weave wire mesh fencing "(Google) ....

Washing machines are made of steel. Steel rusts, it does not "rot". And before posting a reference that criticizes someone's answer, make sure you read it, and make sure the material is comparable.

No need to be so aggressive, throwing insults does not give a good image to potential clients....Could "base" refer ONLY to steel ? I can see nothing that states so.(I might be silly too?)... Looking at my own washing machine I can see a whole bunch of plastic parts (including pipes)that should be water-rot-proof to avoid leaks... Owwwww maybe it could be "not that dumb" to think it COULD possibly be a typo....?

"250 Litre rot proof, fork-liftable mortar trough, made from food grade polymer Applications Dog Grooming."
the trough is 250 litre, rot proof polymer.
"rot proof cotton canvas"
We are talking about a steel washing machine, not a polymer washing machine, not a canvas washing machine.

rot-proof steel is plain silly

Some are pretty much affirmative, saying "water rot proof" does not make sense but obviously it makes complete sense for a whole bunch of people/companies.... "300 Litre water rot proof, fork-liftable mortar tub, made from food grade polymer "
"Outer off made of water rot proof cotton canvas white of dyed whereas the inner roof is made of two folds (canvas sheeting)" etc.... It could definitively be a typo...

I think I would ask for confirmation.

I can't imagine "rot" applied to the steel base of a washine machine. They stopped using wood a while ago ...
And water-rot does not make sense

What about "rot-proof"?
I have seen more washing machine suffering from rusting and rot on their base (a number make them out of plastic for this reason) than from rats?

en lisant ton commentaire je me suis demandée qui pourrait bien etre ce Tom , LOL.Tu as raison , les rats montent dans les canalisations .

It's water rats that creep up through the sewers and drain pipes up to the washing machine.

"Maybe Tom and I misunderstood you or vice versa. Rats will eat almost everything if they are hungry, even hose. They will eat rat bait long before the hose so the bait will attract them before they nibble on your hose. I assumed the $400 was to repair the washer and everything else that got damages when the water shot out of the eaten hose. A new machine isn't needed in this situation and they'd eat the new hose too so try the bait."

water-rat-proof base?!

I think it is only rat-proof base , water has nothing to do in the sentence.
