Fixing cloudy or milky tap water depends entirely on whether the cloudiness is caused by trapped air or suspended particulate sediment. If the cloudiness is caused by pressurized air bubbles, simply let the glass of water sit undisturbed for one to two minutes; the microscopic air bubbles will naturally dissipate upward into the air, leaving the water crystal clear. If the cloudiness persists and settles as fine silt or sediment at the bottom of the glass, it indicates pipeline debris or a failing whole-house sediment filter, requiring you to flush your plumbing lines or replace filter cartridges. Verification: Observe whether the cloudiness dissipates upward or settles downward in a clear glass test.
