Have you ever wondered why your tap water looks cloudy? In the video above, we’ll explain the causes of cloudy tap water, whether cloudy water is safe to drink, and the simple steps you can take to fix cloudy tap water at home.

Here are three common causes of cloudiness in your water:
1. Hard Water due to high concentration of minerals like magnesium and calcium.
2. Sediment caused by particle debris in your water heater.
3. Air bubbles resulting from changes in water pressure or temperature, which can trap air in your hot water lines. This is known as aeration.
Fret not, however! Milky-looking water may be unsightly, but in most cases it’s safe to use and consume. That being said, if you prefer to clear things up, try the following solutions:
Install a water softener, or refill your current water softener with fresh salt pellets.
Flush your water heater to eliminate accumulated sediment.
Install a faucet-mounted water filter.
Clean or replace faucet aerators.
Run your faucet for a few seconds until the bubbles dissipate.
If milky tap water grosses you out and these fixes don’t correct the problem, you may need to call in a pro, as you could have corroded pipes or need a new water heater.
