Argh Rust!!! I know it much too well...... rust happens when you have high content of iron in you water! That is why I replace my iron about every 1 to 2 years and would never buy one of those expensive Rowentas. After 6 months whenever I use my iron I test steam a square of paper towel to be sure the rust hasn't arrived. As soon as I see rust spots I replace my iron with an inexpensive one from Walmart.
