Today I installed a new utility/laundry tub and in the process sweated in a few new sections of copper pipe. When I finished I turned the water back on and all was fine. No leaks and the faucet worked fine. The only trouble is that the hot water is slightly yellow but the cold water is crystal clear. I ran the hot water for 10 min or so full force with the aereator off thinking maybe there was some type of residue from the solder. Still the water is discolored. When I checked the water upstairs it too has the discolored hot water. Not sure if it matters but we had heavy rains yesterday. Could the water in the hot water tank be the problem? I am on the city water system. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
