Since my heater hose on the water pump was soft, I decided to replace it all. Bought a 50' box of 5/8 and 8- of 3/4. Removed the old hose to the hot water tank and noticed that the stuff that came out was not green but rusty. Didn't think much about it and went ahead and ran new hoses.
The 5/8 Tee was easy, pex Tee 2 bucks. The front Tee by the water pump is 3/4x3/4 with a 5/8 Tee. Mine was homemade...poorly. Very poorly...to the point I wouldn't reuse it. Spent some time running around Huntsville looking for something with no luck. I had decided to make something when it occurred to me that the fluid that came out of the hot water tank hoses should be the same as antifreese/water. Yep, plugged tight. Tried some air pressure but no luck. Pulled the hoses I had just run out and will run them direct from the block to the heater core with a manual shutoff.
Guess I won't be needing my Tees and cutoff valves. At least not until I have to replace the hot water heater (knock on wood).
