It’s never made sense to me that some people refuse to drink water even if they know it keeps you functioning properly. The same people will complain of constipation or dry skin but don’t want to do the thing that fixes their issues.

    Sometimes discoloration of water is just it being full of air. My HOA’s backup water well is like that. It’s been tested and is fine to drink, but it’s incredibly cloudy until it’s sat for a few minutes.

    Also, if you’re on well water get it tested. Even if it was fine when you moved in, things change. Maybe the new farm down the road’s fertilizer is leaking in to the ground water. You won’t know unless someone tests.

      If it’s only air it just gets cloudy, not discolored.
      It can be disolored from iron, and that’s not a health problem AFAIK.

      I have never heard of anybody here in Denmark who has brown or cloudy tap water. That would simply not be considered acceptable.
      Tap water here is always CRYSTAL clear, and generally higher quality than bottled water.
