    turns brown.
    Does that mean the water comes in brown or that it turns brown after a period.

    Boy, Speedy... you sure are hard to get information out of, huh?

    What have you done and what have you observed beyond, "It turns brown after flushing".

    Remove the tank lid and observe the water in the tank. Unless the water there is clear you have a problem with the water supply not the toilet.

    Run a sink full of water in the lavatory and see what it looks like.
