I would drain it again. Let is settle after refilling. Fill slow.
Probably suspended particles. Or try turning off the heat and let run
full faucet for a couple hours.

OK. Thanks for the info. I will try your suggestions and see if they
help. If they don't it might be time for a new hot water heater...:/

The water color can be rust. I don't drain my water heater or open the
PRV on it. My house here was vacant for six months during a remodel.
Sure enough, filling the new tub had rusted water. My pipes are PEX.
The heater was on the edge and went bad. New one fixed to color water
problem. YMMV.

I don't think it's rust. Rust in the water has a more orange color to it
which I'm familiar with but this is distinctively yellow in color.
I hope it is not the hot water heater going bad. It's a bad time of year
for me to install a new one...
Anyway, I haven't had a chance to try any of Thomas' suggestions yet but I
hope to tonight.
