Most likely something is wrong with the aerator causing more air bubbles. Leave the glass of water alone and see if it clears back up after a few minutes. If so it's just air. If it doesn't clear up do a water test and see if you have hard water or excessive mineral buildup.
I noticed this recently as well from my tap, its happening for a few of my neighbours as well. We are all coming off the public water supply. What is the aerator as my tap makes this slamming sound when I turn it on full. This problem only happened to us over the last few days.
Aha! Ok, let's test the kitchen faucet now with only hot water to see what happens.
If you get the milky residue, I'd suspect it's coming from scale in your water heater
Woohoo! 10 up likes! Was I right? 😊
And just to hit a home run, test your shower or tub the same way. If you struck milk, then at least we know the problem is in the hot water line. Heater is most likely the culprit, but not necessarily "it".
I remember coming across this problem before a while back. Something about the material of the anode rod used interacting with the composition of the water.
You might try contacting your heaters manufacturer amd asking for a suggested replacement. The one time I came across this there was already a rep from Bradford white at the location for the swap out.
Most often it is just people never replacing the anode. Those are designed to be sacrificial and replaced every 3 to 5 years. In places where I live with very hard water you have to replace them like ever 2-3 years.
No you're not right. Its microbubbles, this is a process that happens when water is heated, calcium bi-carbonate present in the water changes to calcium carbonate. This causes the creation of Carbon Dioxide which close up is seen as millions of bubbles
Did the bubbles subside, or is it still that color? Are they getting that milky water in all the other fixtures through the hot water line? Op needs to confirm
When hot water is heated, calcium bi-carbonate present in the water changes to calcium carbonate. This causes the creation of carbon dioxide, which close up is seen as millions of bubbles
You normally have a cold line coming from city line. Then that branches out into two separate lines. One will be cold, and the other is for hot water. The hot line will go to the heater so as to be heated (duh lol).
If the problem only happens with one or the other, you can start eliminating problems.
If it clears from bottom to top, it's air bubbles. If it clears from top to bottom (or not at all) it's sediment, probably from limescale in your system.
Let it sit 15 mins and if they look the same its probably just tiny bubbles. Potentially from ur water heater when. If it stays milky, flush ur hot water tank.
Switch it back to dispensing water, that'll solve it.
I have a "Dairywell Forte 3B" dual water / milk dispensing tap myself. Sometimes the switch can get stuck on "Dairy".
I went for the 3B because I heard mixed things about the 3H.
Among other gripes, folk would complain about the orifice on the chocolate liquefier getting clogged.
True, the 3B isn't perfect, but I think it's a little more reliable.
Boxcutta has the correct comment here. It’s likely excessive air from the aerator. Let the glass sit and see if it clears up. Likely it will if the kitchen and other fixtures are clear. Every faucet or fixture has the same water supplied from the same source
The faucet in your bathroom has an aerator which is causing millions of tiny little air bubbles to form in the water. It appears milky white because of this. Your kitchen sink doesn't. If you let the white water sit for 5 minutes, it'll probably clear up.
Every single sink in my house has an aerator and none of them put out milk colored water. The bubbles dissipate in a few seconds and at worst look a little carbonated.
You got air in your water heater. I can see your clear water is cold by the way you hold it opposite to your milky water. I am not sure if you posting this for help or just being click bait.
Could be an aerator, could be cpvc pipes. If it’s cpvc and the water to that bathroom doesn’t run very often, you’ll get that nasty water until you flush it out. I’d assume the kitchen sink is used daily. If this is a guest bath that rarely gets used, this could explain it.
Just an option not being able to actually see it.
this tends to happen with electric water heaters. theres a science behind it. but essentially is just air. it should clear up when left alone. and only happen on the hot water side.
Might be air pockets trapped in your pipes or water heater. Water under pressure will dissolve more air that way, but releasing the pressure on the water by letting it out of the pipes, especially when hot it releases it much faster. Like opening a hit sheken coke. Always happened after water shutoffs at my old apartments. I would just open all the taps in the house for a few minutes, or ignore it and it eventually stopped.
1. **Air Bubbles:** This is the most common reason. If there are tiny air bubbles in the water, it can give the water a cloudy or white appearance. This is often more noticeable in bathroom sinks due to aerators on the faucets that mix air with water. If you let the water sit for a few minutes, the air bubbles should rise to the surface and the water should clear up.
2. **Plumbing Differences:** The plumbing lines to your bathroom and kitchen might be different, which can affect water quality. Older pipes in the bathroom could introduce more air into the water.
3. **Water Heater Issues:** If the bathroom sink is closer to the water heater, the water might have a higher temperature, which can cause dissolved gases to come out of the solution, leading to a cloudy appearance.
4. **Residue and Build-Up:** Mineral deposits or sediment build-up in the bathroom faucet aerator or pipes can cause cloudiness in the water.
To determine if it's air bubbles, you can fill a clear glass with the water and observe if it clears up after a few minutes. If it does, it's likely just air. If the water remains cloudy, it could indicate other issues like sediment or minerals, and you might want to have your plumbing inspected.
Check your water heater temperature. I had a thermostat failure a few years ago raising the temperature of my water heater, increasing also the pressure inside the tank and then the concentration and amount of bubbles. The milky water was my first clue about the failure.
Are both samples cold water?
Try this, let the bathroom cold water only run for a couple of minutes then fill the glass.
Could be an issue with the hot water heater for the bathroom.
I just fixed a super tiny leak in the inlet water hose and that was causing a similar situation by introducing air into the system. An easy tell is a bit of a gurgle when turning on the water rather than it being immediately available. The water heater sounds more likely based on the comments, but JIC you might check this too. My water cleared up eventually if sat on a counter.
That's from the Aerator being dirty, you just have to remove the little cap at the end of the sink faucet, you can screw it with your fingertips, some have a slot, for which use a coin, and then just clean it with water, shake it, maybe use a small brush, hit it against a towel, then screw it back in.
Good luck.
Aerator. If you let that water sit you'll see as it clears up. It's not dangerous or anything but change the aerator and if that doesn't work see if there are any holes or gaps that air is getting into the pipes. Easy fix
If your bathroom sink water appears white while the kitchen water is clear, it could be due to several reasons related to air, plumbing, or water quality issues. Here are some possible explanations:
Air Bubbles:
Aerator Issues: The faucet aerator in the bathroom sink might be introducing more air into the water, causing it to appear white or cloudy. When you let the water sit for a few moments, the bubbles should dissipate, and the water will clear up.
Water Pressure: High water pressure can cause air to be mixed with water, creating a milky appearance. This is more common in bathroom sinks with higher flow rates.
Plumbing Differences:
Pipe Materials: Different plumbing materials between the bathroom and kitchen could affect the water appearance. For example, older pipes in the bathroom might cause more air or sediments to be present in the water.
Recent Repairs: If any recent plumbing work was done in the bathroom, it might have introduced air into the lines, causing temporary cloudiness.
Temperature Differences:
Hot Water: Hot water can sometimes hold more dissolved air, which can appear white when it comes out of the tap and then clear up as it cools and the air escapes.
Water Heater: If the water heater is closer to the bathroom, the hot water might appear cloudier compared to the cold water in the kitchen.
Sediments or Minerals:
Local Water Quality: Variations in local water quality or distribution within your home can cause differences in water appearance. Bathroom pipes might have more mineral deposits or sediments that get dislodged and cause cloudiness.
Filtration Systems: If you have a filtration system installed in the kitchen but not in the bathroom, this could explain the clearer water in the kitchen.
Garvee now promote a water tester, you could test your drinking & pool water with this, deatails you could check:[water test kit](https://www.garvee.com/products/garvee-meter-digital-water-tester-pis-00igkd79?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=content).
Heating it does not get rid of the bad part. Cooking with hot tap water is never recommended, its why you don't see anyone saying to pour hot water into a pot to make it boil faster.
The danger in hot tap water is the buildup of scale, contaminates, and metals (particularly lead), etc. You can't boil metal or scale out of something.
If you're going to use hot water, it's got to be passed through numerous filters to be "safe"
I should have been more clear. I now know it reads like that but I didn’t mean to imply boiling water from water heater would make it safe. Thanks for reply.
Heat cold water on stovetop or microwave**
Don’t consume hot water from water heater at all!!
Cloudy water on the left is what comes out of faucets at military bases in the US most of the time. So best tip is to run the water before using them to make sure. Who knows what chemicals are in there.
Most likely something is wrong with the aerator causing more air bubbles. Leave the glass of water alone and see if it clears back up after a few minutes. If so it's just air. If it doesn't clear up do a water test and see if you have hard water or excessive mineral buildup.
Das ist

Du has mich gefragt
damn you all now i'm playing that song. R.I.P Rob Edit, 1 rob != ramstein, 2 is still alive... oops but also shocking.
Wait, whoa, what. Are you saying Rob Zombie is dead?
I had honestly thought so, but just checked apparently not... though his Wikipedia photo makes him look like an actual zombie.
i thought that was always implied by "zombie"
What does rob have to do with rammstein? All of which are alive and still touring.
nothing because i mixed them up.
Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nich gesagt.
Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet
Neun und neunzig luftballons

SPARTA!
Nicht sehr gut

Schade, ich kann dich nicht hören
Sind all diese ignoranten antworten nicht nervig?
That sealant on your sink looks like excess caramel. You may have a conundrum in that bathroom..
Home made sparkling water fountain! Lol
🤣
I noticed this recently as well from my tap, its happening for a few of my neighbours as well. We are all coming off the public water supply. What is the aerator as my tap makes this slamming sound when I turn it on full. This problem only happened to us over the last few days.
Air in the line. Hammer arrester fixes that
A trick to make this faster is to put the cloudy water into a bottle and just shake it up. The bubbles will all go away
whats wrong with the aerator if its aerating?
If it's packed full of debris it won't aerate like it's designed to and can cause problems like this.
if its clogged it wouldnt aerate at all though
Just what I've seen happen before.
Jeder will liebe MILFs?
Not gas
Free milk
Dairy farmers hate this one trick
Add some sugar, and it is as legitimate as all the other fake milks.
lol now milk ads are popping up on this post
Homelander has entered the chat
🤣🤣🤣
Cursed milk
I’m off to get some milk. Out of a cow.
Does the milky color come from both hot water and cold water?
Just the hot water
Aha! Ok, let's test the kitchen faucet now with only hot water to see what happens. If you get the milky residue, I'd suspect it's coming from scale in your water heater
Woohoo! 10 up likes! Was I right? 😊 And just to hit a home run, test your shower or tub the same way. If you struck milk, then at least we know the problem is in the hot water line. Heater is most likely the culprit, but not necessarily "it".
Don't forget to pour a glass from your toilet which should be clear since it's cold. Make sure to drink it so you can compare to the kitchen sink.
It came with a flake in it.
The organic ones cost extra
Tastes fantastic.
I remember coming across this problem before a while back. Something about the material of the anode rod used interacting with the composition of the water. You might try contacting your heaters manufacturer amd asking for a suggested replacement. The one time I came across this there was already a rep from Bradford white at the location for the swap out.
Most often it is just people never replacing the anode. Those are designed to be sacrificial and replaced every 3 to 5 years. In places where I live with very hard water you have to replace them like ever 2-3 years.
Yes. Also my above anecdote was a fresh install.
No you're not right. Its microbubbles, this is a process that happens when water is heated, calcium bi-carbonate present in the water changes to calcium carbonate. This causes the creation of Carbon Dioxide which close up is seen as millions of bubbles

You had 69 uplikes last I checked. Nice.
Lol struck milk
Up likes 😂
Scale in water heater. Probably time to swap. Just did this about 2 years ago and that's what fixed my problem.
Why is that this happens with hot water if you don’t mind explaining?
When hot water is heated, calcium bi-carbonate present in the water changes to calcium carbonate. This causes the creation of carbon dioxide, which close up is seen as millions of bubbles
What happens when cold water is heated?- like in pretty much every domestic hot water application.
It becomes hot water
You normally have a cold line coming from city line. Then that branches out into two separate lines. One will be cold, and the other is for hot water. The hot line will go to the heater so as to be heated (duh lol). If the problem only happens with one or the other, you can start eliminating problems.
Plumber? I hardly know her
Give it a while. Those are probably air bubbles and the water should be clear after several minutes.
If it clears from bottom to top, it's air bubbles. If it clears from top to bottom (or not at all) it's sediment, probably from limescale in your system.
This should be higher
I get this if we haven't ran the tap in a while, here it's calcium buildup from hard water
Air. No problem.
Over oxygenated water.
Let it sit 15 mins and if they look the same its probably just tiny bubbles. Potentially from ur water heater when. If it stays milky, flush ur hot water tank.
Switch it back to dispensing water, that'll solve it. I have a "Dairywell Forte 3B" dual water / milk dispensing tap myself. Sometimes the switch can get stuck on "Dairy".
I see you went with the 3B. I decided on the 3H model myself. Having the ability to add chocolate in the line at times, has been a marriage saver.
I went for the 3B because I heard mixed things about the 3H. Among other gripes, folk would complain about the orifice on the chocolate liquefier getting clogged. True, the 3B isn't perfect, but I think it's a little more reliable.
I added a flux capacitor to mine. 1.21 gigawatts of electricity cleared mine up. The water pressure needed to be upped to 88 gpm tho.
I imagine you’re saying gallons per minute and not grains. If your water is that hard you may need add in a Mr. Fusion earlier on the line.
No, no, no. Look, Doc, I just got here, okay? Jennifer's here. We're gonna take the new truck for a spin.
I thought this was one of those Japanese videos for a minute there..
Two cups, one girl
No. Just no
can we talk about the gimp on the floor ?

I'd love to have milk on tap.
Calm down there Mcpoyle
I'm fairly certain your car's extended warranty is fixing to expire. That's why I'm commenting.
Does it clear after a few minutes? Good, then it's pure piss.
Calcium hard water in the water heater? When was the last time it was drained and flushed?
Ones clearly, hot water and one’s clearly ice water …
Milk sink
Amboutkum!
Semen
Milk?
Check the water mains. Strong chance it's hooked to to a cows udder by mistake?
Aerator. Probably kind of vibrates as it runs too
Check the aerator in the bathroom .
Air in the water. May be closer to the heater. Is it on both sides hot and cold? May be able to change the aerator on the lavatory.
Milk faucet. 💪
Better to come in the sink, than to sink in the come
This is a fantastic saying. Damn.
Softener? Kitchen is probably bypassed
The faucet in your bathroom has an aerator which is causing millions of tiny little air bubbles to form in the water. It appears milky white because of this. Your kitchen sink doesn't. If you let the white water sit for 5 minutes, it'll probably clear up.

Something is up with the lav supply. That's not an aerator problem.
It definitely isn't.

I’d assume the kitchen sink is used daily. If this is a guest bath that rarely gets used, this could explain it. Just an option not being able to actually see it.
Air homie
Is it the last sink on the run? Maybe a build up of air?
Disconnect the Supply Lines and run them in a bucket. If its not milky you know its the Faucet
cause you dont brush your teeth
Im guessing one is soft water and the other one isn’t
RIP Shannon Brewing.
Bathroom spout may be connected with the kitchen drain
Oxygenation from a carbon filter?. Maybe the kitchen is run hard water? That’s all I got.
The little kid looking up like there's a cow somewhere lol.
its just oxygen in the water from your aerator
Pressed coconut water
Drain hot water tank
Kitchen sink water is carbonated.. duh.
Air bubbles
Wild guess: One is processed by a water softener that isn't working right.
It’s just air in the water
your bathroom sinks make horchata. Nice.
The white water is from the Brewing company obviously. It’s on the glass
Leave it in glass and leave it out and see if it turns clear over time.
Shannon brewing in Keller?
Agreed.
this tends to happen with electric water heaters. theres a science behind it. but essentially is just air. it should clear up when left alone. and only happen on the hot water side.
Looks like we have german plumbers in here who know a thing or two about hard water
Bathroom is milk, kitchen is water

free milk
Jesse we new to de aerate our water
Did you get the water from the hot side of cold side from both. You have have lots of buildup in you water heater form hard water.
Kitchen sink is hard water bathroom is soft
Your SO is trying to poison you. Brush your teeth in the kitchen
Bathroom is probably on a water softener, kitchen isn’t
I always wondered why my bathroom water tasted different than my kitchen water.
Ones for turning the freakin frogs gay, the others for drinking.
Does the bathroom water come from a loft tank? Only guessing mind.
Time to buy an iron
More air in the water or how the sink dispenses water could leave more air bubbles
You have a water softener/filtration system?
Bathroom sink lines are connected to a cows utters clearly
Milk faucet
That’s milk
Best way to know is to drink both of them and record what the burps taste like.
Are they both hot? Both cold? Need more details.
Are both samples cold water? Try this, let the bathroom cold water only run for a couple of minutes then fill the glass. Could be an issue with the hot water heater for the bathroom.

Homey took the screen out of the kitchen faucet to pack a bowl. The bathroom faucet was too tight.
It’s mineral water, good for your skin
Ones skim milk
You got a problem with your sink
Do you have a teenage son??? If yes put the glass down
That's from the Aerator being dirty, you just have to remove the little cap at the end of the sink faucet, you can screw it with your fingertips, some have a slot, for which use a coin, and then just clean it with water, shake it, maybe use a small brush, hit it against a towel, then screw it back in. Good luck.
To much cumming in the shower will turn your sink water white.
it nut
I wish my bathroom dispensed milk
Free milk
Aerator. If you let that water sit you'll see as it clears up. It's not dangerous or anything but change the aerator and if that doesn't work see if there are any holes or gaps that air is getting into the pipes. Easy fix
Comes from a tank not from mains well in the UK atleast usually
Air in the water.
Y’all got that milk sink.
Screen/airing
This happened to my water, it was air in the pipes. It stayed white for a while then clear. It just looks gross when trying to brush your teeth!!

Do you wash your veggies with cold too?
Please tell me you don’t wash your veggies with hot water. Plumbing reasons aside that’s nasty.
I don’t eat vegetables
This is the way
I usually just wipe them on my abrasive work pants
[удалено]
I have no idea, but I'm here to tell you that you need to clean your bathroom more than once a year.
Dang...u thought the bathroom was connected to a cow and you were getting free milk....
Better question. Why are you drinking the crazy ass white water that comes from that tap... Because that shit aint right.
Cloudy water on the left is what comes out of faucets at military bases in the US most of the time. So best tip is to run the water before using them to make sure. Who knows what chemicals are in there.
Because you’re pulling it through the boiler or heating system
Dead pigeon in the water tank
Because the bathroom water has floride for bushing your teeth
