I gave some thought to the accumulater tank Mike..........Joe. I never changed the filter and don't think I will now. When the water cleared up it was as sudden as when it was black I mean in a second..If I change anything it will be the kitchen faucet and or the accumalater tank.. Information points there for possibilities.. It really caused no hardship because the wife was outside and didn't see it but I did tell her about it..One of those things that probably will never happen again but it sure makes one curious. I'd rather had it in the kitchen than in the shower with wife standing under it.. That dog wouldn't hunt for a minute.

My guess is that you lost water pressure and had a little water backflow from the filter into the faucet line.  then when you turned on the sink that little bit of water went to the sink faucet.

Just a guess

Maybe possible Steve but don't think so because I turned the pump on probably half a dozen times during the days drive and it takes longer for my system to loose all pressure. Thanks for input and all the above considered.

Forget about the filter. It ONLY contains water for the ice maker and the lil thingamajiggy next to the faucet. As for the accumulator tank........if you take the water line off the accumulator tank you can plug it rather than remove it. I think it's a hose bib thread as I recall. Put a bucket under the tank to catch the water it holds after disconnected. That's a good idea, maybe rubber bladder is the problem.  If you get black again then you can connect it back up and go look at the faucet.  I don't want to see the dog kicked.
