I drained the heater from the bottom for about 10 minutes but color was still light brown. Input cold water is clear. Is this a terminal problem and is it dangerous?Thanks 21 Nov 1999 at 4:18 pm #308781 Steve FairchildParticipant A search turned this up…http://ticrtm.hotwater.com/bulletin/tcb6.htm 21 Nov 1999 at 4:18 pm #308782 Steve FairchildParticipant A search turned this up…http://ticrtm.hotwater.com/bulletin/tcb6.htm Author Posts Viewing 2 reply threads The forum ‘Old Bulletin Board Archives’ is closed to new topics and replies.
