 Well, that would explain why the aerator in the kitchen faucet, which I looped the pump through, clogged up a day or two after I installed it. So, this leads to two more questions:

1. I emptied the tank about a half ago and again when I installed the pump two weeks ago. Why didn't this take care of the sediment?

2. How big a deal is this? I have limited funds at the moment, but several looming plumbing issues: a nearly 18-year-old heater, a couple slow drains, toilets that don't always flush particularly well, and 57-year-old galvanized pipes throughout the house, a couple of which have had leaks in recent years. So, I'm trying to get a handle on what I need to deal with sooner rather than later.

Thanks for any and all insights.
