When we run the water in the tub sometimes it comes out brown. What is the problem or what needs to be done to correct that.;)

I don't know what you can do about it but our tap does the same, just let the brown water run 'til the clear water comes then wash or whatever..

Brown water indicates Iron oxide, (rust) in the water. This is caused by one of two things.. If you're on a well ia high concentrate of iron oxide in the waqter **or** and this would be my guess, it comes from mineral build-up in a water heater that does not get flushed out on a regular schedule. Let me show you how to flush your heater.

For long life and fewer troubles you should keep your heater clear of mineral build-up by flushing 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 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. Now pull each aerator and clean the screens. Be sure you put them back togather 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, Tom
