If you turn on your faucet and are hit with a smell resembling rotten eggs, you are likely dealing with hydrogen sulfide gas in your water supply. This is a common issue in Central Indiana, and while it is generally not a health hazard, it makes drinking, cooking, and bathing incredibly unpleasant.
Nobody wants water that smells bad every time they run the tap. The good news is that sulfur odors can usually be treated effectively with the right filtration system. Aqua Gold Soft Water provides advanced water treatment solutions that eliminate sulfur smells and restore fresh, clean water throughout your home.
What Causes the Rotten Egg Smell in Water?
The distinct rotten egg odor is caused by hydrogen sulfide gas. This gas can enter your water supply in a few different ways. It often occurs naturally when groundwater passes through certain types of soil and rock. In other cases, sulfur-reducing bacteria in your plumbing system or water heater can produce the gas. Regardless of the source, the result is water that smells and tastes terrible.
Signs You Have Sulfur in Your Water
While the rotten egg smell is the most common sign that you have sulfur in your water, it’s not the only sign. Here are some other things you might notice:
- Unpleasant tasting water
- Water that smells worse when it’s warmed
- Dark discoloration on plumbing fixtures and silverware
- Lingering smells on dishes, laundry, skin, and hair
