Hello, we just bought a 50 yr old home about a month ago, and have noticed a musty, moldy smell to the water when you turn it on and while it runs for the first few minutes. While in the shower it seems to go away while you are in but if you walk back into the bathroom after drying off it is still very strong so I think you just get used to the smell very quickly. The master bath has been under repair so it hasn't gotten used much since we have moved in. The wife used it yesterday and the hot water come out orange and the smell was the strongest it has ever been. Everything I have researched having to do with smelly water has been a sulfur/rotten egg smell which this is not. Does anyone have an idea of what is wrong or how fix to it. Could it just be old rusty pipes? There is no apparent moisture issues in any of the bathrooms or in the kitchen. Thanks in advance.
