LOOK OUT FOR LEADPlease get your water tested for lead first!!! If you got copper pipes and hard or acidic water the metal could be leaching out. If your on a well get it tested. If your on city ask your neighbor if they have the same problem. It might need to be brought to the citys attention many municipalities put aluminum in their water to make it sparkle!!! Always let your water run for about 2 minutes first thing in the morning or until the water gets as cold as it will get. the water sitting in the pipes overnight has more time to (corrode and leach metals out of the pipe) The hot water side also needs to be run. If you have brass faucet internals on PVC pipes they can leach out also.
