[QUOTE="Star*, post: 489142, member: 4964"] Sad to tell you - but that COULD mean (as a plumbers fiance) THat either your pipes are bad........and that could be from the outside (being the water company's problem with a leak which would be the BEST scenario) or YOUR pipes are rusty in the house (not such a good thing) OR that your Water heater is getting ready to blow. A lot of time that rusty sediment is gunk from the tank. Then again - you could just have really, bad city water.....but usually rusty colored water means a break in the water main - and mud is getting into the lines........NOT COOL - and I wouldn't use it for all the tea in China. (I've done lab tests and water draws for bacteria in ppm and honey - I'd be boiling it for weeks or until you saw the little hose coming off the water meter down the road - running with clear water for at least 2 days and an all clear from the City Water guys). I would really be calling either the land lord or the city again and telling them I'm calling the NEWS and telling them the 300.00 for the filter is NOT acceptable and then taking a sample to an independent lab......
