Still cloudy, but it is possible to see some particulates today. I suspect Daniella is correct, though I have no idea why it would happen.

It doesn't smell bad, so I'm guess it is a different issue from what Jmes had.

If it is calcium precipitation, you will find a lower than normal test result when you test the new water for calcium.
If the test is normal, then it's not calcium precipitation.
