the hot water @ our vacation home smells bad (like sewerage) for the first few days we use it. Can it be fixed
jab446 asked: the cold water is fine and after several loads of laundry the hot water starts to clear up. it’s an electric 40 gal heater that we leave shut off for months at a time. I think it is growing some kind of algae, but I am not sure how to flush the tank.
