    we ran the water after changing. used it for 2 wks then it started yesterday with the bluish water. sometimes it is clear then turns bluish and sometimes it just comes out bluish. thank you everyone for all the info. i do believe it must be a bad one and will be exchanging it.

    When all else fails, read the instructions.

    Maybe it's simply a bad filter. If you changed it two weeks ago, I'd return it to the store and ask for a replacement. Before putting the new filter in, make sure the gasket is straight and all the lines are clean. Also check the top of the filter housing to ensure it's clean.....Dennis
