    Yellow water from new electric water heater

    The valve could possibly be in backwards which I have read could mix hot with cold, which would explain why the yelloe water from the heater is seen in the cold even with the heater valve off. Thans for all the replies, this gives me a place to start if I make it there today.

    Yellow water from new electric water heater
