Hi Dee, there's another possibility here; I don't know how your water is delivered to your faucet, but one thing that can happen is that a little air gets entrained into it, and as the pressure is released going from your plumbing into a container, the air is released as microscopic bubbles. These are not the ones you see on the sides of a container after you let the container stand - which are far from microscopic anyway. Rather they can make the water even seem cloudy, though the effect dissipates, and even begins to form into those much larger ones that collect on the container's surface. Just a thought, Malcolm
