getting a lot of air bubbles or cloudy water from the faucet, looks like it's carbonated.

— asked by Jordan

Quick answer: This is normal, especially with a new system or after a filter change. It's dissolved oxygen coming out of solution, not a contaminant.

Diagnosis

This is normal, especially with a new system or after a filter change. It's dissolved oxygen coming out of solution, not a contaminant. The water is under high pressure in the membrane and tank.

How to Fix It

Let the water sit in a clear glass for 30-60 seconds. The bubbles will rise and disappear from the bottom up. This is a visual issue only. The water is safe.

If That Didn't Work

If it's persistent and tastes odd, you may have a leak on the suction side letting air in. Check the pre-filter housings (stages 1 & 2). Ensure the O-rings are lubricated with silicone grease and the housings are tightened securely by hand, not with a wrench.

Heads Up

Cloudy from bubbles is fine. Milky white that doesn't clear is a problem. If it doesn't clear, the membrane may be compromised or there's an installation error allowing unfiltered water to bypass.
