Fortunately, this really isn\u2019t even an issue! You see, some plumbing pipes are under more pressure, and as a result, the water within them are more pressurized. So, when water from a faucet under these particular conditions is poured into a glass with <em>less <\/em>pressure, it will form an excess amount of air bubbles! Cool science; huh? Do you notice that your cloudy water is also fizzing? This is the sound of thousands of tiny air bubbles bursting in the cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of cloudy water is referred to as <em>white water<\/em>,\nand commonly occurs when it\u2019s cold outside. This is a result of air solubility in\nwater, which can increase as water pressure increases, and\/or water temperature\ndecreases. White water is also caused by water pressure within pipes. Water\nunder pressure holds more air, and when released, it comes out as bubbles. But\nnot to worry, this issue is perfectly harmless and should clear up significantly\nby spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bad Kind of Cloudy Water<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is another type of cloudy water that homeowners can experience\nthat is not a result of air bubbles, but rather, something more undesirable. You\nknow your cloudy water is an issue if the water does not clear up and become\ntranslucent after a few minutes. This could be caused by contaminants in your\ntap water, such as hard mineral ions, bacteria, yeast, or even chemicals.

It is important to pay attention to your\nwater quality, and to take the proper steps to ensure it remains\ncontaminant-free.
