Usually, allowing the cloudy water to run from the tap for a few minutes clears the cloudiness. Despite its cloudy appearance, water with air bubbles and minerals is usually safe for consumption and other uses. If cloudiness or water quality concerns persist, it’s crucial to contact a plumber.
Persistent cloudiness may indicate sediment buildup in your hot water system, requiring further inspection.
Hard water, rich in minerals, can also cause cloudiness as it contains more air. Calcium and magnesium minerals can accumulate in pipes and appliances, leading to limescale deposits over time.
As hard water is heated, these mineral deposits get stirred up and suspended in the water flow, resulting in a milky cloudiness. Regions with high mineral content in their water supply commonly experience cloudy hot water.
Here are some strategies to address cloudy hot water caused by hard water:
To fix cloudy water from your hot tap when faced with hard water issues, consider protective measures for your hot water heater like installing a water softener or scale inhibitor. This process exchanges the minerals in the water for sodium or potassium ions. A water softener will protect your plumbing and fixtures from scale buildup.
Installing activated carbon or reverse osmosis filters on your tap can also mitigate cloudy water by filtering sediment just before use. Upgrading old pipes and your water heater can help maintain water quality by reducing corrosion and mineral build-up.
The temporary cloudiness in your water from hard water minerals is usually harmless, despite its unappealing look. A plumber should inspect your system for safety and address any issues if the cloudiness remains.
Most often, cloudy water is harmless and will clear itself after running the taps for a short period. In certain cases, it’s best to seek a professional plumber’s help to diagnose and resolve unclear water causes:
Licensed plumbers can assess your water system and identify the cause of persistent cloudiness. We can perform water testing if contamination is suspected, and offer solutions like flushing, descaling, water treatment, repairs or full system replacements as needed to restore hot water quality.
