This usually looks more like a permanent fog. It won’t clear up like air bubbles. It might even leave a white film on your glass.

Don’t worry, this still isn’t dangerous. It just means your water is “hard.” A water softener can fix the look and the taste. But again, air bubbles are the far more likely culprit.

The Panic Check: Sediment or Rust?
