We had a water main break in front of our house this week. Now our hot water is running brown and low pressure . Our HWH is only 2 years old. Could this be the result of the water main break?
Yes. Generally the first place the water line goes to is the water heater. Rust, sediment, or dirt from the break could have got into the line and settled in the water heater. If it is only 2 years old, you should be able to drain it and get most of whatever is in it out. The low pressure could be sediment in the screens of each faucet.
What should you do if you have changed the seat and cartridge many times on your hot water tap in the bathtub and it only lasts for a few days and leaks again?
Only a suggestion...you may try turning off the power, or gas, to the heater and attaching a hose to the tap at the bottom, opening the tap and allowing the tank to "flush out". It's possible you have heavy build-up of sediment and it is being stirred up by the incoming cold water when you use your hot water. Other than the flushing the only other way to clear the tank, if sediment is the culprit, is to turn off the power/gas, drain the tank, and remove the lower element and "scooping" out the sediment with whatever you can fabricate for a small shovel...or use a small vaccum attachment on a shop vac...If all else fails...put a filter in the line.

Obstruction in the hot water supply line, bad valve, or broken water line. Drain system and remove valve cartridge, open hot supply to blow out line and see if water comes out. If it does than you have a bad cartridge, if not broken line that needs to be repaired.
