under sink filtration water discolored

[debwerni]

we have the everpure water filtration system in our class a motorhome and have never had a problem with it. today after having a new filter installed about 2 wks i turned the water on to fill a glass started out clear but turned to bluish grey. i have tried it several times and it is off and on wether it is clear or not. anyone have this problem before?

[debwerni]

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.

Only time I had a similar problem bluish/blackish water the carbon filter had broken down and was putting the carbon in the water.
