We had a brand new Maxi-Therm indirect hot water heater from Crown Boiler Co. installed in March 2017. It is heated by an oil fed furnace. As stated by the Co. "Both the tank and the internal coil are coated with a porcelain enamel... The tank also contains three sacrificial anode rods... Combined with two inches of CFC-free foam insulation all around the tank..."
The relief valve was recently opened and out came a disgusting off-white viscous liquid. The consistency is thick, like adding syrup to water - not at all fluid like water. See photos. We took a sample to a lab to be tested, they said they had never seen anything like it before. We await the results.
Please could someone let us know if you have heard of this problem as we are concerned that this liquid might be dangerous to our health. Thank you.
