I tried flushing it and got more dirty water. I'm not knowledgeable on plumbing or the like, so I really don't know what is going on.

Much depends on where you receive your water. I presume the brown tea effect is something new, and has not gradually worked up to that level over several months. Open the tank lid above the toilet to check the color of the water there. If it's tea like, then the problem is with the water before it reaches the toilet. And now check your tap water. Is it tea like there? The bath tub and shower basin should be checked for the same brown color since any backup from a septic tank (if you have one) or from a clog at the street (if on a sewer line) will also back up to the bath. It's a process of elimination search.

It feels like the total interal device is wiped out. with a view to get the tank to fill, it ought to correctly be the flapper contained in the bottom that closes off the tank or it ought to correctly be the drift valve on the excellent. (The piece that strikes up and down has a valve in it that opens even as that is down and closed even as that is up) by it operating each and every of the time, i ought to assert that all of it needs to get replaced. you will get a kit with each and every thing you want in it at Lowes abode progression or abode Depot for between 12 and 15 money. it is not any longer hard to position in, yet make certain the water is off beforehand disconnecting something. solid success, yet i understand you may do it.

Sounds like you need a whole-house filtering system. I have one with two 20" filters. The first one is a pre-filter to catch the rocks and sand and other large stuff, and the second one is a charcoal filter that removes everything else.
Since the charcoal filter is a bit more expensive, and would fill up quickly if used alone, the cheap pre-filter makes it last a long time.

1. check your water source (i.e. water tank; cistern). you might need some cleaning.
2. some steel might be rusting and staining the water.
3. dried leaves might have found theor way to your source.
4. if it is an old house, the pipes might be too rusted and needs replacement. call a plumber to do the job. :-)

If you have had a lot of rain in your area lately, the lake or where you get your water supply has been disrupted. Nothing to worry about, it will become normal again.
Check with your neighbor and see if they have the same problem.

sounds like rusty pipes or rust in the reserve tank. Just flush a few more times and see if it gets better

If you're getting stains to... you have a lot of iron in the water. If you're on a well, you're almost dry and sucking the bottom of the well water. If it's city water... it's city water, lol!
