I had my water heater out for body and paint and am currently preparing to re install it. The heater is not the oem and is a recycled unit from sob. While pressure testing it I heard debris tumbling inside of it. This is what I was able to extract out the drain hole while shaking and flowing compressed air through tank. Is this stuff just minerals from hard water or broken down aluminum?? I tested to 70psi with no leaks. A lot otf this stuff came out.
