    Are you on a well or city water?
    Pull a aerator from a faucet that produces brown waterand check the sceens. What does it look like?
    Is there soil or gritty dirt?

    What tank do you mean? This could be dirt if you're on a well or could be resin in you line from the softener. Have you bypassed the softener, removed the aerators and flushed the lines? Back to you, Tom
