"Turbidity" is the term used to quantify the cloudiness of water. It is measured in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). Drinking water should have a turbidity level of less than 0.3 NTU or even lower, and it is regulated by the EPA. It would be interesting if a water treatment company like NOVA would measure the turbidity level of their customer's water before and after installing a system, rather than to show you a photo of a new clean filter and a discolored one a year later. It is very easy to do, and it would provide a more definitive measurement of the effectiveness of their system.
