I had a Combi-Boiler fitted a few weeks ago and find when I run the hot water to do the dishes the bowl of water is white is this normal and why is the water white, you would think I had been rinsing a white emulsion paint brush. Thanks in advance.

Tiny air bubbles emerging from the water as the pressure is released.
It is just air in the system, and nothing to worry about.

If you fill a glass of water, does it clear in 5 or 6 minutes?

Yes, it does go clear eventually but did not know if this was normal or not. Thanks for your help.
Interesting. That might explain why my jet washer put out white water initially, and did so for a short period last time i used it too.
Put simply...if you have "white water", draw some into a clear glass. If it clears upwards, it's dissolved gases (usually air). If it clears downwards (ie settles out), it's suspended matter- usually chalk that's been disturbed from inside the mains because of mains work, mains flushing etc (assuming you're in a hard water area).
