This one stumped me. In my m bathroom there are two sinks 2 feet apart. The faucets are the same Moen single handle 5 years old. The left faucet the water comes out cloudy and the right faucet water is clear. I’m on well water with 400 TDS and the plumbing is pex 5 years old. There’s a 1/2 inch T fitting to the right of the vanity in the ceiling below. I’ve removed and cleaned the aerator. Can these stupid plastic water saver aerators cause the cloudy water? Is the faucet internally leaching something into the water? The water does clear up after about two minutes
Don’t want to ingest this strange cloudy water. Thanks

Does the water clear from the bottom of the glass, upward? Air.

Run a glass of water without the aerator. Cloudy?
