Why does my water smell like rotten eggs? 🤢
This is a question we hear from well-water homeowners, and that unmistakable rotten-egg odor is commonly associated with hydrogen sulfide or sulfur-related bacteria. However, there can be different sources of the problem, which is why we never like to diagnose a water issue based on smell alone.
If you notice the odor throughout your home, the cause may be different than if you only notice it when you turn on the hot water. Understanding where the odor is coming from and what is happening in your water helps us determine the right way to address it.
The good news is that you do not have to accept smelly water as part of living on a well. Puresoft can test your water, help identify what is causing the problem, and talk through the appropriate treatment options for your home.
If your water has you holding your nose, give us a call and schedule a FREE water test.
