water smells...
Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2014 11:22 pm
Does anyone have alot of problems with their water smelling? I've lived in a park for along time, other than the one I'm in now & they have all had rusty, iron-y, water?
What I have now is water thats very iron-y smelling but also tastes that way & recently the water really smells horrible of sulfur, iron &/or rotten eggs its crazy! I called the office & they said the water people do the testing once a week & everything is normal with the values. My hot water heater is only 2 years old, I called bradford white & they told me to check the anode every 2 yrs & maybe replace it. I will be doing that this weekend- is this the only problem??? Do I empty out water once a month (like 15 gals) to keep it clear? Yes my toilet is turning orange in color as well as my shower walls.
Any suggestions would be great!! I live by myself, so am I not using enough hot water & thats causing this (I have a 40gal tank)? I've heard soo many different things- not using enough hot water, my anodes bad, I need to take out water once a month, even my tanks bad....etc..
Thanks
