Water Treatment Answers is a free service that connects homeowners with local water treatment and filtration companies. We are not a water-treatment company or installer, and we do not perform the work ourselves.
A rotten-egg smell usually means hydrogen sulfide gas, often alongside sulfur bacteria, common in well water. Treatment depends on the level: carbon handles light odor, while stronger cases need oxidation with air injection or chlorination followed by filtration. If only the hot water smells, the water heater's anode rod may be the cause.
