For now the water is still coming out of the spigots and the housings aren't leaking... good enough for now.
It's possible that your lines are incrusted inside walls of pipe and or similarly, junk within the system. .
As an example of reference; if you've ever lived in an old house with steel pipe. Rust, calcium and other can line the inner walls of the pipe. heck if lived in L.A. albeit, NY might be worse [grin] where the most junk is added, it could happen in younger homes too. But, regardless, if you seen this, what happens when a facet hasn't been opened in a while, it runs red., Rusty looking until those walls are flushed. Actually it's only red because of the oxide bleeding from the steal that can't be prevented otherwise, it's not all rust but 99.99%, [estimated] the junk from water company, calcium and other stuff that's either not filtered out or added, sticking to the walls inside the pipe, and oxide has colored it. . .
In absence of other problems, such as; verifying your storage or input water is clean, hasn't been cluttered via another source. Which, incidentally, would be my 2nd choice after verifying the filter and system seems OK, is too check for debris and or noticeable settlement in the tank.
Otherwise, perhaps, because, when you're changing to a new, fresh, or otherwise filter, etc. While it may 'seem' clean. The pressure, rushing water, will increase faster than normal until it's balanced. . Like rusty pipes, Your filter is clogging sooner or absorbing debris due to that.
And or any other part in the system effecting the flow has crap which, the burst, after reassembly and start up is rushing through until it's slowed.
Another filter, pre-filer before it and others, up stream. Increased flow could be disturbing it, anything in the stream from tank up to exit flow should be investigated for hidden crud. Including as mentioned prior, 'the joker' in the deck, , 'plumber' who installed your pipe, did the dumb, butt-head, slap and go in his glue job. Elbows, couplings and other glued connections leaking and absorbing dirt. And or, alternately, inexperienced home owner, want-to-be repair, tool man tony, [grin] , do it your self guy, cutting corners.
PVC needs to be primed correctly to clean and soften, even if it's brand spanking new, just cooled, directly from the factory. and a thorough, not just thick, wasteful, but thoroughly covered coating of glue over freshly applied primer, on both pieces being joined. {I see pro work on PVC piping slapped together poorly, so frequently, I'd like to write the county and ask em WITF we pay for county services to insure it's installed correctly??!! ! err.]
