I recently installed a small (6.5 gallon) hot water tank in my shop bathroom. It supplies hot water to 1 faucet. Each time I turn the faucet on I get air sputtering out and a slightly brown discolored water. I don't use the bathroom and hot water more then a few times per month. Now I don't get any hot water but still get air...could the air in the tank have caused the element to some how burn out? The tank has always had water in it so the element hasn't been exposed. I used 3/4" CPVC coming and 1/2 " going to the sink and toilet.
so far I've cycled the power and turned on the pop off valve a few times....
any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated
