: : When I turned on the faucet from a bathroom tub during the walk-thru of my new home, the water was rusty for 2 or 3 seconds before it turned clear. But the water from the sink or toilet was clear. What is the reason for this? Is there anything wrong with the pipes? Is it safe to use the water? Should I refer this problem to the superintendent and have the plumber fix it before I move in?: : Thanks: Often galv. pipe nipples are used to connect tub valve to tub spout. This will likely clear up once there is more frequent use of tub.
