I'm going to say that over time that junk settled onto the bottom of the tank, with not enough going into the system to stop/plug it. So it went unnoticed. Then drawing the tank dry changes the whole dynamics of the flow at the bottom of the tank, and the junk starts to pull loose. I imagine it's something like that, that's JD's problem. As someone below said about a small bottle cap(I think) I had a similar issue with one of those little pieces that comes out of a small bottle cap.
