We just moved into a new rental. I noticed that when I open and close the kitchen faucet shut off valve, and then turn on the water at the faucet, the water will come out clear at first for about a second, then it'll turn black for a half a second, then it'll turn clear again. I think there is probably an o ring or bushing in the valve that is wearing out, and it's agitated every time I turn the shut off valve. This happens with both the cold and hot water valves.
Is this common? Should I ask my landlord to have both valves replaced? This is a little concerning because it's our source of drinking water.
The building we are living in was constructed in 2007, for what is worth.
Thanks in advance.
