Blue bathwater?

[Andy_Pagin]

Having had our bathroom re-fitted I've noticed something weird, we've got white tiles, white ceiling, all the units are white. Only colour is wood effect floor tiles and dark wood bog seat, but when we fill the roll-top bath with plain tap water it appears to be a pale blue colour. I can't figure it out, is it an optical illusion or some strange reflection effect.
One for the BCF physicists I think.

Have you changed the lights?

Comes from copper pipes.

Water IS actually very slightly blue. Just not that blue.

I'd suggest it might just be soluable copper salts out of the pipes though. Especially if they were soldered joints because any flux that gets into the pipes is mildly corrosive.

I was always under the impression that the only reason we see water as blue is due to light bending through it.

Clearly it's just full of cold water. Add some hot water if you want it more red. A 50/50 mix of hot and cold will make a nice purple colour.

Flush the system through and everything should be fine. This should of been done already as the flux can damage pipework.
