Is it bad if your tap water is cloudy?
Yep, air. If your water comes from the pressurized municipal system and this is the cause, you should notice that water coming from all taps throughout your home is cloudy. Cloudy water from just a single fixture may indicate a problem with the aerator or just that particular faucet.
What should I do if my water is cloudy?
Cloudy Water from Cold Tap
- If the water from most or all of your fixtures is cloudy, it’s likely caused by air in the municipal supply.
- If cloudiness is only occurring at one faucet, take off the aerator, clean it with a 50-50 water/vinegar solution then rinse it thoroughly and reinstall it.
Why does water from the bathroom taste different?
In the bathroom, the water is often very cold because the person getting a drink first uses the water closet (toilet) and flushes. Then they wash their hands, which continues to flow the cold water. By the time they take a drink, the water is nice and cold. This fools the brain into thinking it tastes better.
Why is my cold water not cold?
If no cold water is a widespread issue throughout the home, it’s possible a shutoff valve in the main water supply line may have been turned off accidentally. If that’s the case, you can simply turn the valve back on and get back to showers as normal.
Is room temperature water better for you?

Why does water come out my tap cloudy at first?
Water occasionally comes out of the tap with a cloudy or milky appearance. In most cases, cloudy water is caused by air bubbles in the water, and these will dissipate on their own if you let the water sit for a few minutes. Hard water can also cause cloudiness, which can be removed with a softening system.
Why does my drinking water look cloudy sometimes?
Once in a while, you get a glass of water and it looks cloudy; maybe milky is a better term. After a few seconds it miraculously clears up! The cloudiness might be caused by the water in the pipes being under a bit more pressure than the water in the glass, but is more likely due to tiny air bubbles in the water.
Why does the water from my RO system seems cloudy?
This is generally caused by trapped air within the RO system. However, it will not affect the quality of your water. The cloudiness should disappear within a minute after water sits in a glass. This is a normal occurrence with a newly installed RO System or after a filter change.
