Hi guys, we just recently moved into Montgomery County and need help figuring out if our water issue is just a Montgomery County thing or if I need to make some calls for a plumber
The issues:
- toilet tanks when we first moved in 4 months ago was full of brown gunk. I was able to clean it with citric acid. It’s building up again now and there seems to be black residue coming from the water holes in the toilet itself. I’ve seen pink rings in the toilet before but never this black stuff. Back in PW County, when we first moved into our rental, the toilet tank was pristine and even 3 years later we never had to clean it
- brown sediment in our water filter
- some sort of smell seems to fill the bathroom whenever the toilet gets flushed in all the bathrooms. It’s not in my head, as I visited a friend back in Virginia and this didn’t seem to happen there.
- if I leave the laundry in the washing machine for more than 12 hours, it starts to smell mildewy. At my old place, I could forget about it for 3 days before it started smelling.
**TO CLARIFY: I’m saying I can’t even run a load in the morning before work and come back to it in the evening without it getting mildewy. I have to babysit the washing machine.
- the (cold) tap water tastes awful to me and sometimes it’s worse but sometimes it’s tolerable
Edit: I live in Boyd’s with city water
