My tap water has gone all cloudy?!


Question: It has a white cloudy tinge to it! Has only happened since last night! Do you think its ok to drink?


Answers: It has a white cloudy tinge to it! Has only happened since last night! Do you think its ok to drink?

One of two reasons why:
1. Dissolved air may be coming out, let it stand and see if it clears.
2. Water may have precipitated out some water hardness overnight. Run the tap for a few minutes.

If after running the tap for a few minutes, the water stays cloudy (even after standing for a while) contact your water supplier or environmental health office.

It happens to mine sometimes! We just let the tap run a bit and get it clear instead.

yes let your tap run

Sounds like it comes from the sky.Let the water run for few minutes first,it happened to mine too.

let it run for a while.

Mine does that too. I don't like the look of it and I'm sure it's fine but I put my tap water in a Brita Filter and it's great!

Perhaps the water board are working nearby give them a call and check what is happening. Run the taps that should clear the problem but boil the water before drinking just for safety

Drink bottled water or have a filter fitted to your tap. I don't really trust tap water, it always tastes kind of funny to me. :-/

i would just it run for a little bit it should clear. If not then contact your council, to see if anyone is working on the system.

Mine did that the other day, and it really freaked me out. In the end i boiled the water and it was fine.

Its probably tiny air bubbles in the water. Pour a glass and leave it to stand, see if it clears
