Hi my name Donna
I turn on the hot water in the tub and there black piece coming out of the faucet, the more it runs more tiny little black stuff come out. I can't take a bath because of this.
Especially when the hot water running. What can this come from/ how do I repair this?

Have you ever flushed your water heater, do you know how? The debris is likely coming from the heater which should be flushed once or twice per year depending on the water in your area.

We had our water heater replaced about 8 or 9months ago . Will this still apply?

Less likely but still yes. I would still flush the heater and strain the water through a cheese cloth or towel to see if you can catch some of these black bites which could be a washer deteriorating

I will try this!
Thank you

Let me know what comes out of the drain spigot in addition to water.

I will let you know!
Thank you,
