Oxo carbon steel pans arrived today. They are beautiful. If only I had a range to use them on.
I have something for you guys. Been giving me anxiety all week.
Water line to ice maker/fridge was replaced because the fridge location is moving over slightly and we need more line. Still using existing fridge until flooring is in. Water and ice from existing fridge tasted great. I went to Lowe's and bought a braided stainless pvc core water line. The plumbers installed it.
It tastes awful. It's quite clearly the water that sits in that line that tastes terrible. If I don't get water for a couple of hours, the first 16ish oz taste totally fine. I assume this water has been sitting in the fridge line between the water dispenser and ice maker. The next 60-75 oz are bad, and then it tastes fine again. 20 ft hose.
I wondered if I had a bad hose so I ordered another one, same style different brand. It arrived today and I ran some water from the sink through it, then let the water sit in it for a couple of hours coiled up in the sink and tasted it. Blech. Same plastic/metallic/whatever taste.
I have changed the filter in the fridge and also spent a lot of time just running water through the one that is currently hooked up but the bad taste doesn't seem to be lessening.
What is strange to me is that I have googled this and there are surprisingly few results. Where I have found results that closely matched, they were questions on forums with no real solutions.
it's not just me, either, everyone tastes it. I could have them replace with pex or even copper maybe but that seems risky. Drywall ceiling below in basement and the stainless ones have an auto shut off.
frustrated. Anyone ever experience something similar? We/I drink a ton of water from the fridge.
