Smelly water!!!!

If you have an existing basic filter system in line with your holding tank, check the filter. I had poor smelling water, and replacing the element (rope, paper, etc) filter took care of it. Algae had grown on the filter and was creating the smell.

There are various grades of filters that can be used. I had replaced the filter with a fairly cheap option, and for some reason, it prompted the algae growth earlier than other filter elements I had used.
