What Dave BN says. X2
Your crud is coming from either 1. Deposits from water in your water heater tank, or 2. Corrosion from your water heater tank being ate up.
Turn water main valve to the water heater off. Open a hot sink faucet someplace. Open lower drain spicket on water heater tank (a garden hose will attach to this), and drain the tank. You might have to fill and drain water tank a few times, to get all the crud out, by turning water supply to the tank on and off. Note, that you will want to keep an open hot water faucet running someplace to let the air out of the tank when you are filling it back up. Compressed air in there, will likely do damage to the tank. Especially if all faucets were closed, and you then let the compressed air out at the faucet.
This may clear everything up for awhile, IF you don't have any leaks, and don't create any leaks in process. But note, that if it does get you back going again with clear water, the remaining life of your water heater is still likely questionable. You could go 1 month, 6 months, who knows. Untill you'll have a leak or cruddy water again.
But if no leaks, in my opinion, it is worth a try. Just to see if water heater tank is fine, and there is just a bunch of deposits in there.
