Why Cloudy Or Discolored Water Happens
There are several different water quality issues that can lead to cloudy, tinted, or dirty water coming from household taps.
Tiny Air Bubbles Trapped In The Water
When tiny air bubbles become trapped, they create a cloudy or milky appearance, although the water often clears after sitting for a few moments.
Hard Water With High Mineral Content
Water that’s rich in calcium, magnesium, or other minerals can leave cloudy residue, buildup in plumbing, and affect the overall appearance of tap water.
Sediment Buildup In The Water Heater Tank
Over time, water heaters collect sediment at the bottom of the tank, leading to discolored or dirty water, especially when using hot taps.
Sediment, Silt, Or Dirt In The Water
Ground disturbances, heavy rains, or well problems can push dirt, silt, or other fine materials into the water supply, causing cloudiness or grit.
Iron Or Rust In The Water
High levels of iron or corroded plumbing materials can cause rusty or discolored water, leaving unsightly stains and affecting taste and smell.
