Question:

How to Troubleshoot Discolored or Rusty Water in a Rheem Water Heater?

Answer:

James Thompson, Water Heater Repair Expert

If you are experiencing discolored or rusty water from your Rheem water heater, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take. Firstly, check if the issue is isolated to hot water only or affects both hot and cold water. If it’s only the hot water, it is likely a problem with the water heater. Sediment buildup or a corroded anode rod could be causing the discoloration. Flushing the tank or replacing the anode rod might solve the issue. However, if the problem persists or affects all water sources, it could be a sign of rusty pipes or a larger plumbing issue. In such cases, it is recommended to contact professionals like the specialists at 5 Star Plumbing who can provide expert assistance with water heater repair and other plumbing services.
