I wonder if he has galvanized plumbing and a older house.
If new construction there should be no plumbing issue, but in old houses there is all kinds of scale and oxidation that builds up in metal pipes. In hot water it can get funky. In 50-70 year old pipes it can be disgusting.

Hmmm. That is a possibility.

House was built in 2006. Only one water heater that I know of and it's in the attic.

Is there a way to clean the tub?

Disconnect the hot water hose (left connection) then with a container, slowly turn it on and see if you smell the water.
Ok, back here now. I took the left connection of and the water coming out was not. I took he right one off to but the water out of that one wasn't hot either but had some metal shards caught in the screen.

Yes sir.
Pour in an entire bottle of vinegar, (12-16oz) and run it on hot water, on a heavy duty cycle.
If you have a VMW washer (most common machines, a soft start button, a turn knob and five to seven lights) you my have to put a wet towel in to weigh it down. So the float sensor feels something.
You could also put it in service mode, : then force fill to overflow, then let it sit, then drain 75%, then force heavy agitate, then drain. Do NOT ever force spin with something in the machine.
It's hard to get these machines to manually fill the tub.
If you reach into the void between the front machine wall and tub, you will feel a bag with a book in it. That's the cheat sheet. Modern machines are stop complex they hide books in ever single one. Old units had a schematic, and a flow chart.
Anyway, I bring this up, because when I clean a customers VMW washer, I fill, and let sit, then clean. On an old machine you would simply fill to the highest level with door open, then close door to advance.
In your machine, youll get it okay running a cycle but you won't be able to soak...
Actually, scratch all that. My bad football day, a few beers..
Just put in the vinegar then fill the tub 3/4 way directly from the hot water hose you already have off.
Then leave machine off, let it sit. When ready to clear just turn on, and start a cycle. It'll drain the water and automatically rinse it, without entering in codes with knob turns.....
Damn, I may start doing that tooo...

The left valve is hot, the right is cold. Water isn't hot in the line, it has to run until the hot water from the tank flows.
Metal shavings in new plumbing aren't a good sign..
No smell though?

We have run two loads and it seems much better. I took pics of the shavings and will try to post pics. I struggle with pics.
