Google Pink Slime and let us know IF that is what you are seeing.
Then look at the label on your water bottle and tell us everything it says on the label.

Are you cleaning, not just rinsing, your water tank regularly, at least a 1, 2 or 3 times a week?

First. thanks to all you folks for caring.
Now, ChicagoGranny, trust me. It’s rust. I clean it every day with warm slightly soapy water, dry it and leave it opened until I fill it with distilled water at bedtime.
Hey SleepGeek, thanks anyway but I’m not in to pink slime.
I think I answered your question, Ebonyeyez.
I appreciate all your comments.
Respectfully

I'll trust you. If you lived next door, I would verify. :mrgreen:

(Actually, Michael lives across the street. That's not you by any chance?)
