Assuming an ASTM B-813 flux was used by the plumber, how much time should be required to flush out the flux residue on the water lines in the house ? I ask because after the water heater, supply valve and some piping were replaced - my wife swears she could detect an off-odor(?) in the hot water for weeks. I can't say she is right or wrong, but she wasn't a happy camper for a long time. Never received a clear answer from plumber that installed the WH. Any helpful insight and-or wisdom is greatly appreciated so I can be prepared for this concern with the upcoming plumbing changes for the whole-house filter.
