Getting rid of bad water smell

[BigBrother]

Has Guy been at your house? Y'all have similar odiferous issues.

My car smells like vinegar for about 25 seconds. No fart smelling water.
I was told Lysol or douche.

Waiting on the builder to get back this weekend from vacation. We haven't closed yet, so I'll put it on him. I don't feel like screwing with it, as I have other shit to do. Plus, the water heater is under the house, and I definitely don't feel like dealing with that shit

Winner winner chicken dinner.

No way I would close until it's fixed.

This may make too much sense... Change the hot water heater.

This is too simple for most fellas on here. Like a bunch of tinker bells.

"Water heater"... Not hot water heater

billbuster, so what ended up happening here? Did you get it resolved now that you've moved in?

Closing in the 22nd. However the problem has been resolved. Contractor came out, drain the tank through the bottoms valve and flushed it multiple times. No more sulfur smell.

The spritz methods work (several versions). It basically allows the gas to separate out into the casing of the well before it hits the line going into the house.

Very effective. If you walk by the pump house you can smell all the rotten egg sell (hydrogen sulfide)

It is incredibly effective. Inside the house there is virtually no smell, unless you have a incredibly high concentration of the gas. In with case you may want a inline filter with active carbon of some variety before it even get to the hot water heater.
