A gas water heater consists of two assemblies: a tank to hold the water, and a burner under the tank to heat it. The two never touch, so you can't have natural gas in your water.
The bubbles you see in your water are air.

What is causing rust to come from a 2nd floor bath faucet and it takes 2-3 days for the rust to accumulate and the faucet valve is new and the house is only 5 years old and no other faucet is affected?
The water heater may be rusting out. Try flushing it. This involves hooking a hose to the faucet on the bottom of the water heater, opening the valve for a few minutes, and then closing it. Have the hose discharge into a bucket or a drum to see if there is a large amount of rust. If so, you should replace the water heater. == Answer== It sounds like they used a black nipple on tub spout. you need to change to galv. or brass. hope this helps.

Why would a faucet have high water pressure when first turned on and then quickly slow down?
Generally this is caused by pressure being built up from the water getting hot in the hot water heater. By code you should have a hot water heater expansion tank on the cold water inlet of the water heater to absorb the added pressure. If this is your problem, the excessive pressure could possibly burst your water heater. The faucet stem or cartridge or washer may be loose or moving and blocking flow.
