Q.  Why is the water from my "HOT" spigot always discolored with a "Brown" tint?

A.  It is very likely that your hot water heater has not been flushed in a very long time.  When the hot water sits at the bottom of your hot water tank for long periods it will eventually pick up rust, minerals and sediment from the tank and should be flushed periodically according to your heaters instructions manual.  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLUSH YOUR HEATER IF YOU HAVE NOT BEEN INSTRUCTED TO DO SO PROPERLY WITHOUT CAUSING INJURY OR HARM TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS.
