Why do I have rusty colored water from hot water only?
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009Hot Water System FAQ:
I just built a new house and moved into it less then a year ago. Water had been great for the first 8 months, however all of a sudden with in a day or two, my hot water has a different smell and serious rusty water that stains everything. I also have a Water Boss water softener and a whole house filter. Once the problem began, I flushed out the water heater and this seemed to work for approx. 3 weeks. I am now experiencing the same problem and even flushed out the water heater again, but this time I have not seen a difference.

Anyone with information would greatly appreciate it.
(Note: All copper pipe and all water system was installed by licensed plumber)
I also have well water if that makes a difference!
