Best Answer

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 does my New faucet makes clunking noise?

There was air in the line. When you turn off the water with the faucet running make sure you turn it back on with the faucet open. That will release any air caught in the lines. That faucet shut with one on a lower floor on and restoring water does not work. Fast and easy. 1. turn on affected faucet 2. shut off water 3. turn water back on 4. faucet should be running smoothly now
