So a couple weeks back I decided to drain my hot water heater.
Ever since then the hot water comes out with a yellow tint.
Any idea why this would happen?

Why would you heat hot water? Are you making steam? O_o

Try reading the story and understanding what he said.


Okay. The thing is though, if it's a 'hot water heater', it's a
boiler. If it's a 'water heater' which is what the OP actually
has, it's not. There is a difference between the two. So, perhaps
you should consider trying to understand the difference before
suggesting someone else, who obviously does understand the
difference, does so? Just a suggestion...


"Hot water heater" is a colloquialism for "water heater". In most
places a "boiler" is rarely called a "hot water heater". In the 7
cities I've lived in, the two terms were used interchangably, while
"boiler" has always meant boiler. But.....whatever floats your boat.
