when cleaning out a clogged pressure switch input line (2" nipple), it seemed full of a rusty, maroon colored gunk. a bit gritty in nature as well.
some more info:
what should i do to either diagnose it further, and to possibly cure it?

some more info:
- we are on well water
- the water tasted bad like iron, so we got a drinking water purifier
- we do have an acid neutralizer and water softener
- when we first moved in (14 years ago) and before the softener and stuff was installed, i remember there was an inline filter. the simple kind, paper filter in a see-through, ~quart-sized container. it used to get thoroughly filled with orange sludge.
- i can't remember what else i was working on within the past year in our basement plumbing zone, but i have seen this gunk before.
