Don’t freak out and pour bleach into your water. Yes, that’s happened. (Google it. I’m not joking.) Bleach-cloudy water is dangerous, not cloudy. Stick to the methods above, and you’ll be fine.
And whatever you do, don’t blame your plumbing before ruling out air bubbles. Your pipes aren’t trying to gaslight you—they’re just full of tiny party balloons. So take a breath, pour a glass, and wait sixty seconds.
Your water will clear up. And if it doesn’t? Well, you’ve just earned a first-class ticket to calling a plumber who charges by the joke. At least now you’ve got a few to share.
