Hello All,
Have any of you had experience with the following.
If you filled up a bathtub you would see a greenish abrasive sediment (like fine silca sand) left in the tub. It appears only when hot water is run.
In this particular case it is a condo building and is happening in mulitple condos. Hot water is provided by domestic boilers and piped into storage tanks.
Branch piping is type L copper and the water main is ductile iron. the system includes hot water recirculating piping system. The building (and piping) is approximatley 7-8 years old and this has just started. No water softening or conditioning equipment installed.
Working theory: Problem with anode rods.
Water qulity is good and Ph factor is approx. 7.5
Any thoughts, opinions, comments appreciated.
This has nothing to do with HI work.
Thanks,
Corey
