we recently installed a new kitchen and replaced the old mixer tap with a new one. The cold water has a strange metallic taste to it when turned on , if left to run for a few seconds the water returns to normal. You can still taste it even when boiled and with a new baby i am concerned about bottle making. What could this be?
cold water tastes funny?

Probably residue left over from the manufacturing process. If really concerned send a sample to environmental health and get it analysed.

If you run a glass and let the bubbles settle, is the water crystal clear?

Bet it`s Tickly who`se right . Though it`s wholesome now Are you female, per chance?
I used to live with a girl who wouldn't drink the water out of the water dispenser in the fridge because, apparently, it tasted metallic. Her mum also said the same thing. I could never taste anything unusual about it, nor any of my male (ooh er!) friends.
Perhaps if you run water through continuously for a while, that might help get rid of the taste. Although I would assume that was the first thing you tried before posting here?
