Hot Water Running Brown

[TomD]

Central heating and hot water system runs off a Baxi Bermuda VIP. Cold water is running clear as a bell. However, after returning from two weeks holiday, the hot water is running brown. I've turned the system off and run the bathroom hot taps and can hear the header tank refilling, but the hot water is still running brown.

Can anyone please advise what the problem could be.

Cheers

1. it can be the iron pipework if you have this causing it

2 . cylinder coil dividng the hot water and heating pipe has split and the waters are mixing , do you have an open vented system or one with a gauge? for the heating

Never seen a guage. Its a Baxi Bermuda VIP with back boiler behind a gas fire running seven radiators. If its any help its copper.

If its the coil thats gone in the cylinder, can you buy a new cylinder with coil or does it mean a whole new system?

EDIT - amazing what you can find on the internet. Found a replacement cylinder at Scrwfix.

Thanks for responding and your help.
