Has the tank strainer been looked at?
My guess is that the filter will either be full of; 1/ rusty water or 2/black gunk. If its 1/ empty the tank & clean as best you can, if its 2/ treat with a bug killer like startron or what ever that stuff is. The fact that he thinks he found a bit of broken down rubber in the line makes me think 2/ . I cant understand these mechs that dont look for the simple things first. Maybe I am just being a Grumpy Old ........
