Rusty pipes

[Carole Hall]

We have a jetted garden tub in the master bath. Everytime we turn the jets on rust flakes are jetted into the tub. I have tried several rust removing products over the last 2 years but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Three Choices

1. Replace the rusty pipes to get rid of the source of rust flakes.
2. Install a large filter to remove the rust flakes. It must be a filter that will survive the hot water.
3. Consider it an added feature, an iron supplement that provides supplemental tanning color.
