Being brighter
Hello all. We moved into our house in October. It's on a well, and since we moved in there have been issues with faucet aerators clogging, shower heads clogging, and most recently a brand new LG washer shut off valve failing because of sediment (which caused a giant mess).
On the advice of the LG repairman who said he only noticed these problems coming from the hot water supply, I started flushing the hot water heater this morning. I'm seeing plenty of brown sediment, flaky black particles, and this strange gray stringy stuff (see photos). The water heater is an 07 from best I can tell and I have no idea the last time it was flushed.
should I complete the flush and expect things to get better, or dig deeper into some other water quality issues? Thanks as always for your help--this forum is awesome.
