Also we have a plastic rectangular shaped pitcher we fill with water each day to fill the coffee brewer. It is filled daily and immediately poured into the coffer brewer, but over a few months the inside of the pitcher will become coated with a black film. We are sure is from the black flakes in the water.
I'm the one that did the original topic. If you have a Delta faucet that is the source of the flakes. There is a black hose in the fixture that is the problem. Call Delta and they will replace it. The plumber I had out was clueless and two visits didn't do anything (except cost me money).
