Particulate

What are the white particles coming from my tap?

The white particles could be a few different things. BWL’s water contains calcium carbonate from the hardness and softening process which can dislodge or accumulate overtime. Clean your faucets with white vinegar to help break down the calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate settles out in the water heater and flushing the water heater can help reduce the deposits as well.

If the white particles are plastic this is most like components, such as the dip tube, in the water heater breaking down. Call a plumber to investigate the problem.
