Maybe its Florida water or not....
We thought it was pressure...thats not it
we thought it was the water flow...thats not it...
So we replaced the elec. water heater....while doing the refitting on the copper pipes I notice the old copper pipes had almost a solid block of black stuff in there and solid white pieces.
Maybe thats the problem... I removed the hot water faucet (brand new last week) and noticed on the stem and screen was covered with this white stuff...so now it seems to be just on the hot water side of all the house faucets including the shower. Im assuming its from the old tank and eventually it will clear up...
Im thinking this white stuff is calcium of a sort so the question is.
What is this stuff?
where does it come from?
Will it eventually clear up?
What can I do about it?
I had a gas water heater in my old house..no problems at all.
