Just finished renovating my master bathroom. Filled the 60 gallon acrylic soaker for the first time last night. After about half fill water turned yellow/brownish murky color. Also left a similar color film at the water line. Thankfully I was able to clean the film off.
I'm thinking it's iron or sediment from the heater. It's 50 gallon electric AO Smith, about 8 years old. Question is can it stain my tub if I continue to use it until I replace the heater?
I would be replacing it this coming weekend if dumb and dumber at Homers hadn't dropped my new heat pump water heater on it's side while loading it on to a box truck... It had a ramp, how hard can it be?
The heater is out of stock so don't know when I can order a new one. Maybe flushing the old heater could buy me more time?
