> 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.

That's about what came out of my original water heater. I think it was almost all calcium build-up and similar to what I get out of my home water heater. I wouldn't worry about it, in fact I would feel good that you got that mmuch out!
