Suggest you turn the unit off. Remove the drain plug on the unit. The water drained should come out clean. If there is a lot of scale coming out with the water you may have to buy a cleaning wand that hooks to a garden hose and you insert it into the drain opening and wash out the scale and calcium deposits from the tank.
