rust in hot water
have fired up the hot water heater in the apt. that was turned off for
3-4 months but neglected to drain it. i'm getting rust in the water - is the boiler on the way out or is this a result of the water sitting in the tank? |
If you have galvanised pipes it is normal, either way dont worry
|
I just ran water from a sink faucet that hadn't been used in months,
the water ran rusty for a about 2 gallons or so. I have ~50 year old galv steel pipes. either drain the tank now or just use up the rusty water as needed. if the rust goes away you're probably fine. cheers Bob |
