Any high-flow situation within the first 72 hours may cause a temporary carbon blockage. To clear the blockage, turn off any running water for at least 10 minutes and resume using water at low or regular flow rates. Q: Water appears cloudy and grey A: The water may appear cloudy or grey for the first 3-5 days after installation due to the tiny air bubbles being purged from the filters and extra carbon dust in the water.
