I had posted a long while ago about black specks we were seeing in our tub and dishwasher. Long story short - we replaced the expansion tank and anode rod. Went away briefly and returned. This time they were larger specks but didn't smear like the originalone (even though those too came back at the same time).
I had the town water folks come out to try to troubleshoot. Ultimately, we wind up replacing the PRV on the main line - although the old one didn't really look like it was that deteriorated. Large black specs have been gone although we are still seeing a small amount of black smear-like things in the same places and even on wash clothes.
While we haven't resolved the smear-like black speck issue, it looks like we have a new one.
Come to find out this morning when I went to remove our window screens from our crawl space a signficant amount of water and dripping from what I think is the PRV. I have a plumber coming out later today, but I was curious to hear from other experts what the leak may mean so that I'm somewhat prepared. I have no idea how long it's been leaking but my guess is a while given the amount of water that exists. My feet sank a few inches in the dirt when I went to investigate.
I'm very concerned since it's brand new.
Any ideas?
