Cloudy water that clears from the bottom up is usually just air, and it is harmless. Here is the New Rochelle guide.
The air cause
Trapped air from a repair or a pressure change makes the water look milky for a few seconds.
The test
Fill a glass and let it sit. If it clears bottom-up, the cloudiness is dissolved air.
The other cause
Cloudiness that settles downward is particles, and it needs a filter or a pipe check.
The call
If it does not clear, test the water. Call 888-217-3585 and New Rochelle Plumbing Experts will match you with a New Rochelle pro.
