Having Smelly Water Sinks.

There are typically two water contaminants that can cause your water to smell like sulfur or rotten eggs, one is Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) and the other is iron or sulfates.

 H₂S is a mineral that is released from the earth and finds its way into groundwater. It’s especially common in well water located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil.

 Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be caused by a water heater or by sewage pollution in your water. If you’re on city water, the most likely explanation is your water heater.

 The most important thing to note is that it is ALWAYS worthwhile to get your water tested as H₂S poses a serious potential health risk including nausea, vomiting, and other serious health effects.

 So how do you fix it?

 Depending on the root cause of the issue there are affordable options available through Great Water USA. We offer free water testing to determine the source of the smell.
