If so, descaling won't help (scale is mostly lime & won't change the water color to brown anyway). Take it back where you bought it & see if they'll let you swap it out. If possible, add a few bucks & get a stainless steel kettle. Another possibility is that you or someone else used it to brew tea. Tea leaves a residue that's harder to clean & it could change the taste & color of your water. If that's the case, it needs a thorough cleaning.
