About 2 weeks ago our hot water start turning brown. The cold water is always clear. Is the water heater going/gone bad? 16 Nov 2002 at 9:14 pm #293231 Retired plbg1Participant Sounds like your heater is rusting out are something else in heater. 16 Nov 2002 at 10:20 pm #293232 bungieParticipant Got any galvanised pipe leading into the hot water system ?
