Take a sample and send it into your health department see what it is
 
I assume you have not seen this before?
thanks

PS administrator - I did not get a notification in my email
 
Oh no I've seen lots of stuff on the inside of a water heater. It all depends on what type of water you have.
What made you take out the relief valve if the tank is only 6 months old was it leaking?
 
the PRV spat out water - just a little and rheem said to replace it. they paid.

why dont i get notifications of your helpful replies?
 
I was just thinking the same thing haven't gotten any notifications either weird maybe someone will fix that.
