The water in the bathroms and the laundry room sink are all fine, as is the water from the hose hook-ups outside. Does anybody know what this was or where it came from? The laundry room sink is closest to the water heater and is ok so I don't think the heater would be it.
We had a new faucet installed about 10 months ago.
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Walt.
I would recommend taking apart the aerator attachment on the faucet and see if perhaps a gasket was flaking off little pieces. Since you didn't get it out of any other faucets, that's the only thing I could think of.
