    Water Heater Problems
    I have some type of white material that comes through my kitchen sink faucet and the bathroom faucets when I turn the water on. I will eventually lose water pressure in the kitchen and will have to take off the strainer and clean it out. What is this stuff?

    This "white stuff". Is it hard or can you crumble in in your fingers? Do you run out of hot water faster then usual? Do you flush and maintain your water heater on a regular basis? Back to you. Tom
