HI all we have a sealed hot water cylinder
each time we turn on hot water tap we get cloudy water which does clear after a short time, any one have any way to stop this.

Put in an expansion pipe ;)

Just kidding.
It is air bubbles trapped in the water.
When the water heats air bubbles are released and as the cylinder is sealed there is nowhere for the air to go other than out through the tap. Same thing with a combi.
If you fill a glass with the hot water and watch it, it will clear from the bottom up, ie the suspended air is released.
Won't do you any harm.
