Don't know that but do know this. Connect a water hose to your water heater drain valve tomorrow and water your grass or garden for 10 gallons worth.
My guess is that the pipes to this tub are black iron and are rusty on the inside. If this is not happening in any other part of your house then these pipes will need replacing.
Good answer. Draining the water heater also helps it last longer. Or, it can be also 45 year old galvanised pipes feeding the tub like are in my house. My Plumbing pipes are rusting internally. That one tub may not be used very often but it's supply line is rusting inside.
