The water used for hand-washing

Hi,

The water we use to wash for bread should be clear; if it gains color or opacity from some added ingredient, like ink, then it is not usable. However, water that is somewhat cloudy from dust is acceptable.

(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 160:1; Mishneh Berurah 160:2-3)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
