I got your name from my plumber who follows you and hoping maybe you could help us. Let me outline my situation - my home is 17 years old, operate on a well system with a main house filter, Aqua system water softener, iron extractor, and (2) 50 gallon water heaters. We have replaced our water heaters multiple time - we are currently on our 4th set (last pair installed July 2022). The problem we continue to get are a grit/sand buildup in our faucets screens/bathtubs/washer. Past individuals have instructed me to remove the inner rod in my water heaters because of this grit thinking that is my issue, but as I have learned with my new plumber, that is causing my heaters to fail.
I am still getting this grit in my faucets with my new water heaters (again only 3 months old) Professionals that we have reached out to indicate what we are seeing is sediment/debris from our water heaters, however they are only 90 days old. We have recently flushed the water heaters and tried a new house filter and continue to see the same grit.
My question is, have you ever seen this before and what might you recommendations be to resolve or issue (picture included of the buildup in the shower head faucet)?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
