Water Python Question

I apologize in advance if this thread is in the wrong sub section I’m very sorry, I don’t know where to put it.

Hey guys! So recently I took the plunge and bought a python water changer since buckets were killing my back. Anyways I used to get the water from my bathroom bathtub. And now I hooked up the python to my kitchen sink since it was closer. Before I did the water change, I checked the water quality of both waters and they were both the same. The only difference I found was that when I was putting water into my tank with the python it started to come out a little cloudy, but disappeared right away. I checked the water and it was fine, this only happened when I turned up the hot water so it became a little warm. I also dosed prime for the whole tank before putting water and after putting water. Overall the discus seem fine, but can anyone tell me If that milky, cloudy, micro bubble look was? And is if fine with the discus or should I stick with filling up buckets form the bath tub? Thanks!

TL;DR:
When I used my water python to refill the tank the water was looking cloudy, but it disappeared shortly afterwards. Can anyone tell me if my discus will be fine refilling from the python or go back to the original source? The discus seem fine by the way. Thanks!

You took the aerator off the faucet right? Probably just aeration.

Yup I took it off. The fish don’t seem irritated, should I double dose prime just in case? Thanks!

It's just micro bubbles as you thought. I fill my tank through the garden hose with the python hook and it comes out milky but dissipates quickly too. Tiny bubbles are good!

Cory of talked about it in a video near the end.

He said it was caused by the water being cold in the water pipes outside and then being heated up before entering our tanks.
