There is brown water coming from my bathtub. It's only from the hot water and no other other faucets. It only comes out when I first turn it on and it becomes clear. We just install a new hot water heater. Can you please help. Thanks.

What are your pipes made from copper, PVC, galvanized or what. Looks like you have at least one piece of old galvanized somewhere in the mix.

It would be rare to be anything but galvanized unless the home was updated. Who installed the water heater, ask that person what the pipes are and do they know why you have momentary brown water. If you did not have it before the new heater it may be something to do with how it was installated.
