Hey there! Are you puzzled by your water suddenly turning a grey color? No need to stress. It happens and it’s easily fixable. If you have grey water with your water softener, click here.
First off, products that can cause grey water include hybrid water softeners and filters that use activated carbon, which includes whole-home filters and under-sink filters. The grey is a result of tiny carbon particles in the water. Don’t worry, they’re not toxic or harmful if you end up drinking it.
If you use replaceable carbon cartridges with the filters in your home and notice grey water, it’s most likely due to a recent filter change. No worries! You can easily clear this up. Just head over to a cold-water faucet and let it run until the water is crystal clear again. It may take 10-20 minutes. Note: If you have an under-sink system with it’s own faucet, you’ll need to make sure to run that specific one to clear the water.
