I have sink aerators throughout my house that get clogged with particles or sediment. I can run the bath with the aerator out and I get all of these black particles in the bathtub (photo). It does seem that the sediment is in the hot water more than the cold water.
Here's a photo of what it looks like in my bathtub (sorry so large):
I asked the city to come out and they said that it is calcium and it is normal. Nothing that they can do about it.
The person from the city said that it is probably coming from my water heater and that the recirculating line that I have is at least partly to blame. Sounds ridiculous to me.
two questions:
1) is the Water heater (electric type) and/or the recirculator to blame?
2) If I choose to filter the water, should I filter the water before or after the water heater and what type of filter should I use?
