Bladder infectoins cause from brownish rust bath water?

[cdad]

Its possible because it is acting as a irritant. Rust is a metal that is decomposing so you can get irritation from the particulate in it.

A bladder infection is bateria, brownish water is iron. The problem is not caused by the water but the water isn't helping

Let's get rid of the brown water.
The discoloration is caused by mineral buildup, (iron oxide or rust) in your water heater. You have this because you failed to flush your heater out on a regular maintenance schedule.
Let me show you how.


For long life and fewer troubles you should keep your heater clear of mineral build-up by FLUSHING NOT DRAINING on a regular schedule. Attach a hose to the boiler drain at the bottom of the tank. With the pressure on, open the boiler drain and let it run until the water runs clear. You will see a spurt of red,(rust) followed by white or yellow grains,(lime or calcium carbonate). This shouldn't take more then a few minutes. Do this monthly to keep it clear. Now flush out your hot water lines on ALL fixtures that are affected . Now pull each aerator and clean the screens. Be sure you put them back together the same way you took them out. Don't forget to flush it out every month. Your heater will thank you for it. Hope this helps and thank you for rating my answer, Tom
