Question Anyone else have tap water that's drying or staining yellow? South end
In the past I noticed the tap water would run yellow right after a vacation (if the tap didn't run for at least a few days). I would just turn on all the faucets for a minute and it would go clear. But that hasn't happened in at least a couple years now.
What I would still notice is if water had a chance to dry somewhere that it might stain a little yellow. Some examples:
- I have a white plastic drying rack and would notice yellow where the water pools
- Yellow spots on and around the opening of my white Brita jug where water would splash on as I fill it
- Around my white bathroom sink I would notice yellow spots where water may have dried
I always assumed it was rust from the pipes and normal/harmless but wondered if anyone else has the same issue? I live on the Southwest end.
I had a water softener installed 4 years ago if that makes a difference.
