water question

Well water comes out cloudy then turns clear in glass after few seconds. Glass turns cloudy if water sits overnight. If from filtered refrigerator ice water leaves white film at water line overnight. If water from tap with Brita filter attached it comes into glass clear and if frozen does not leave white film at water line. Why?

air bubbles cause the cloudiness and when the air is gone the water is clear

hard water stains

hard water stains not as bad as above because it has been filtered some

Brita is a high quality filter

Do you have a water softener? When we first has ours installed, it was a little cloudy whitish until they got the levels right

All it was parbly checked for was the presence of Fecal Coliform. This shows contamination from, well, Feces. You can get a hardness test kit for home use. Chances are you have very hard water. Most of the country does. DSD gives a good answer to your questions. An independant lab can run the radon and metals testing for you but it may be a tad salty (no pun intended!). But it may give you piece of mind.

The Brita filters are a good investment, BTW. For anybody, City or well water.
