Why is the hot water coming out yellow..?

Posted by admin

i turned on the water in my tub to take a shower. when i was going to get in, i saw that the water was yellow!!! it looked like someone literally peed in there. no it wasn't me, i hadn't even stepped in. when i put the water cold, it came out clear, but the hotter i set the water the darker yellow it came out. i live in military housing apartments. it grosses me out. i don't even want to take a shower.. lol :P why is this happening? :(
Probably rust in the heater tank or rust in the pipes

    You either have rust in the water heater or in the pipes that transfer the water from the water heater to the fixture. Either way, you need a plumber. Always get a second opinion before hiring anyone. A very outside chance is thet there's a leak in your service line and when in use, it is "sucking" in mud.
