Cloudy water is usually the result of dissolved solids in the water, or dissolved air bubbles in the water.

What is the easiest way to get rid of cloudy pool water?
pump it out
What would cause loss of water pressure when pump kicks on after only 5 minutes of water use even after replacing jet pump pressure tank and switch?
bad check valve or a leak.
Can a leaky check valve on a well pump line cause low water pressure?
No. Low pressure is a function of the well tank. Your pressure tank must have an adequate air pressure to maintain water pressure. A leaky check valve is not good news however, and will cause your pump to run excessively. This valve should be replaced ASAP.
How do you know you need to replace your water pump?
There is normally not a pump on a water heater. The water is moved through normal water pressure. If you are having problems with getting hot water through, it may be that the pipes are corroding or pinched, slowing the flow. Or the hot water heater itself is leaking.
Can air in a home water system cause frequent water pressure surges when running the faucets?
Probably not. It sounds more like a faulty water pump, water tank, or well. Most likely the water pump is directly at fault, but faulty tank pressure, bad electrical supply, or a bad well can cause the pump to do that. Especially if the surges are repetitive in nature, your pump is short-cycling. With lots of research, you might be able to narrow down the problem.
Will your water pressure tank hold more water if you lower your pressure settings?
yes it will but not recommend because then your pump will be starting up more and shutting off more and that will cause your pump to wear out faster. For any kind of water pump or sewage pump its best to have the pump run as long as possible and stay off as long as possible during cycle times.
How do you use a water pressure pump?
There are many different ways to use a 'water pressure pump' . Any water pump will build up pressure, this is the basic principle of well pumps, and similar. Most are 'used' by a pressure switch which turns the pump on when pressure decreases to a certain point.
Can a faulty check valve cause my well pump to turn on frequently even though no water is running?
Yes. The well pump turns on when the pressure in the accumulator tank falls to a low enough pressure to actuate the switch. If the pump check valve is leaking, the pressure is being bled back through the pump until the switch trips and the pump turns on. Other leaks in the system that allow the pressure to bleed down can also cause this.
You changed a water press contvalve from jet pump to water tank. Water is not going through systemto house fixtures after turning pump back on. Why not?
Did you "RE-PRIME" the pump after you changed the pressure control switch? A likely reason you are not getting water would be that the pump "PRIME" was lost when you changed the pressure control switch. Pump seals can be burned up quickly if you run a jet well pump with no prime (lost prime) and will cause them to leak around pump shaft.
How does water get into an air pressure tank?
If you mean a well tank, the water is forced in by the pump. The residual air pressure pushes the water out to the faucets.
Where is the pressure switch in a well water supply?
The pressure switch is usually on the pump if it's a jet pump, or at the base of the pressure tank if a submersible pump.
What will cause low water pressure on a residential house with a well?
There are many cause of this, but the primary reasons are in the pressure tank. The tank MUST have residual air pressure of around 27 psi to drive the water system. To analyse further I need to know what kind of tank you have and what air pressure is in it when the water ceases to flow. I need to know what pressure your pump starts and if the tank feels heavy (full of water) when the pressure is low.
