Think of it like a snow globe. Shake it up, and everything turns white. That’s your tap water after pressure changes.
When water travels through pipes, it’s under high pressure. This forces air to dissolve into the liquid, like soda fizz in a bottle.
Open the tap, and poof—the pressure drops. The air escapes as millions of microscopic bubbles.
These bubbles are too small to see individually. But together, they reflect white light. Hence, the ghostly glass.
Why Your Eyes Trick You
Here’s the funny part: the water isn’t actually white. It’s perfectly clear! Your eyes are just fooled by the bubble fog.
Wait 30 seconds. Watch the cloud disappear. The bubbles rise and pop at the surface.
Clear as day again. No magic, no milk, no aliens in your plumbing. Just physics being playful.
