None of this is easy done. Can it be done yes. That old of water heater especially if it is electric would do more harm than good. It will more than likely break causing you to have to buy another one. My recommendation is a whole house water filter. This will fix your present problem but want fix the pipes or water heater. Also a second water filter on your bathroom lavatories and your kitchen sink and one on your refrigerator, if you have a ice maker or ice and water thru the door. This is just me what I would do. Unless you have plenty of money and then call a Plummer.

I may have noticed that the other day. We haven't drained he hot water tank ever, twenty years, and I plan on it. but what can one do other than running the cold for 10 seconds. I live in Philadelphia and do not know if there has been a drop in purification as of late. Can one easily clean the pipes? Thanks
