THat stuff was nasty. GO down to take a morning shower and see
bright orange liquid coming out of the shower head.
And that is why you should do the monthly purge. Or at least every
six months. It's not that difficult to drain a gallon out of the
thing into a bucket.
You can buy heaters with a stainless steel lining, too, rather than
the cheap glass lining. They last a lot longer, but cost a lot
more. I just went from a well to city water and I'm seeing a lot
less crap coming out when I do the monthly purge, but I'm waiting
to see how that affects the total life.
tHose are better from what I've heard. THe community I lived in for a
number of years was on a municipal well and you'd even get bright
orange liquid coming from the cold water taps. ESpecially when they'd
purged the system with the fire hydrants in my neighborhood. THis was
a suburb and many were advocating we go back to hooking up to the
larger city's water system. THis stuff did serious damage to the
water meters the city installed oto btw.
