Possibly because you have not drained or cleaned your H/W tank for a few years. The H/W tank collects sediment and rust and this gradually forms sludge in the bottom of the tank, making flow slower and smelly.
- To clean, switch off the power or gas to tank, and the inco,ing cold valve. Attach a garden hose on the bottom running outside or to nearby drain, then open the faucet on bottom, open the spring loaded relief valve on top to help flow. Let it all out, then open the water valve on cold pipe and let that flush out the tank for 5-10 minutes. Now let it fill before turning on gas or electricity
