Default Smelly Water

Echoing Formula260SS comments...... 'Hydrogen Sulfide' sounds like the issue...

Experienced the same here in Gilford, shortly after moving into new Condo....

Was told it by Condo Assoc and Gilford Wells Co., that this is a common problem and siomething we just have to live with.... Mmmmmmmmm....

As Formula260SS indicated, a 'carbon filter' will remove most of the odor.
The sediment type filter 'will not' help or eliminate the issue.

I have a 'whole house' Whirlpool' filtration system, with a carbon filter.
However, when I first moved into Condo, smelly water was very present, smelled like rotten eggs ! The carbon filter looked like it hadn't been changed in years ! After I change out the filter with a new one, the smell disappeared !

Good luck !
