I agree with speedbump. Definitely sounds like iron in the water. Depending on your experiences there are self flushing iron filters you can install yourself or you can call the Culligan man. You definitely want to get the water tested though - make sure you know all the problems. (these...

Can you take a picture of your surround? Hard to say without seeing the problem. Do you have the model name/number of the surround?

I definitely do not have the tools for PEX. I do have flux+solder and a torch. This sounds relatively easy: 1. replace the 2 galvanized to copper junctions with dielectric couplings 2. add 2" copper + straight coupling 3. enjoy warm shower (profit) Am I over simplifying this?
