Are you in the process of cycling? It looks like your going through the nitrite spike. It where you have nearly a sufficient amount of ammonia consuming bacteria and are in the process of growing the nitrite consuming bacteria. I remember reading you have 4ppm ammonia in your tap water? Are there fish in this tank? If not leave it. If so, you might have to wait for someone else to answer. Sorry. I don't have any experience with ammonia in tap water and fish in cycling.
 
Yes there r fish in the tank. I know what im doing with fish in cycle I was just wondering why the nitrites shot up that fast. Thanks.
