If it's only in the hot water then you need to clean the sludge out of your tank at least. You may need a new tank. - To clean, close the cold incoming valve, switch off the power to tank, attach a hose on the bottom running outside or to nearby drain,then open the faucet on bottom , open the spring loaded valve on top to help flow. Let it all out, then open the water valve on cold pipe and let that flush out the tank for 5-10 minutes.

Why do you get black specks in your hot water?
One possible solution is that the expansion tank is installed on the hot water outlet line. It should be on the cold inlet side because the hot water over time breaks down the bladder within the tank. As the bladder "dissolves" it leaves black specks in the hot water which clings to bathroom/kitchen tubs, sinks, etc. that smear like eyeliner or grease.
