    Just let the water run through it for a few days and it should clear up. Does it have a filter? If the filter is not new you may need a new one because filters collect bacteria and become a culture medium with all the collected dirt. In that case the water tastes like dirt because it is flowing through dirt of the worst kind. DrTom4444
