How to Fix Your Water - Rotten Egg Smell (Sulfur)

[@davronnie1]

Cut to the fucking chase what’s the solution

[@diavolorosa]

Instructions unclear, clothespin lodged in eye

[@JamieNotLamie]

He starts with jokes. I love it. I needed that.

[@diavolorosa]

Same!

[@SandcastleDreams]

Just look in the back of the toilet tank to see if you have iron.

[@johnhtreble9165]

We just bought and installed an elaborate system from these folks. Our neighbors put in the same system before us and bragged about how great their water was, so I was sold. We are on a community well system and the water isn't great. So we got a US whole house 5 micron filter, and the oxidizer system, and finally a 70,000 grain water softener. Here we are a couple of weeks later and we are extremely pleased with our water now. Yes, it was somewhat expensive, but now we don't worry about ruining or appliances, faucets, plumbing, etc.

[@uswatersystems]

Happy to hear!

[@hdbagger4266]

my daughters looking to buy a house with this problem so the bottom line here is HOW MUCH???? HOW EXSPENSIVE??

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

I won't tell you exactly what I spent because that's the job of US Water Systems to give you a quote. Let's just say it was more than $3k and less than $4k. But worth every penny to us. The installation cost was extra because our house was not pre-plumbed for a water softener. If we had planned our custom house build better, we would have saved a couple thousand in installation costs. As it was, the plumber had to reroute all of our exterior hose bibs to keep them hard water (we let one of them go soft water to wash our cars.)

[@bradb877]

You need to clean your hot water heater with chlorine or heat it up to 160 degrees for a few hours. The heat will kill the sulfur smell. But if its just the hot water it has to do with your hot water heater. If the cold water smells good its not the supply water.

[@philburke1902]

My chlorination system works perfect - I have 23 ppm sulfer and the smell and taste is gone.

[@NotoriousReviews23]

How much does it cost to fix this rotten egg smell?

[@user-hx3ev3ng5g]

For all you doubters, I have done a lot of research and he does know what he is talking about.

[@raposafox9222]

[@shredding51]

So i have something strange. My water has a sulfur smell after adding a gac filter under the sink? Without the filter the water has no smell. Can anyone help with this? Now after running the filter awhile the smell is barley there, but is still there.

[@maemae4345]

What if you already have a water softener installed? Can you get the peroxide system to attach?

[@Palmtreepeace]

We live in a campground in florida and its all well water. I know they treat it but the water smells awful still. We have to purchase so much botteld water and im not sure if that is safe either. can boiling this well water help so we can drink it?

[@18spd4Life]

Would this system treat sodium as well?

[@georgejones6374]

I have a well for my water. After a rain I get a sulfur smell. I put a 1/4 inch air line down in my well. I let my AIR compressor run as I wash clothes run the dish washer anything to empty the water heater. I don't have a smell until the next rain. HAS worked for over 1 year.. Was a E Z fix air line maybe $25 a few fittings $12 I had the compressor. Just run for 1 to 2 hours.

[@joesturbo5989]

Does this also soften water too? I have a water softener which is having a problem and wondering if I would just replace the old unit (with something like this) and be good to go.

[@alfredoortiz1981]

Do you have santhin to take with me to Mexico to solve my water problem

[@TheGriffinTodd]

A couple of things... Chlorine IS a strong Oxidizer Chlorine's main application in dealing with 'odor' is killing the SR bacteria through shock chlorination, not removing the sulfur itself. Often the problem is the Hot water tank, and this should be looked at first (changing the anode rod for example) If there is a constant problem then Hydrogen Peroxide injection is a good solution.

[@Toastmaster_5000]

Yes, chlorine is a very potent oxidizer, but I think he meant the chlorine compound used for water treatment, which isn't much of an oxidizer (if at all).

[@sebastiendurand5121]

Ok so quick question then, my system has the pressure tank, the IRON filter, then the RO unit, then two big tanks 300Gal or so, followed by my house pump to the carbon filter and UV filter. Where would you install the Hydrogen Peroxyde System. Thanks for your help and great video.

[@nickdannunzio7683]

[@CHEECHMUN]

[@sheckyfeinstein]

@@nickdannunzio7683 Too far, with these gas prices. What are you thinking?

[@pl747]

You said you have treated up to 64 ppm sulfur. Your best $3300 system says it can only remove up to 35 ppm. That doesn't add up.

[@ClownWhisper]

Okay I got to the part of your video that says you have on h202 apparatus I had already posted about the hydrogen peroxide drip method that I use that work perfectly. But how can you say that Ozone gas wouldn't work when Ozone gas is basically hydrogen peroxide in a gas form as it decomposes it leaves hydrogen peroxide in its wake so Ozone gas is absolutely exactly as effective. If you bubble Ozone gas into a cistern you could literally if you had a hundred gallons in a cistern and you bubbles it for an hour you can literally leave it there for probably three or four days and the incoming water would be contaminated very well for a long time. You would not have to run it continuously I've worked in some of the biggest pharmaceutical labs in the country and I actually helped Beckman and Dickinson get approved for FDA approval in more than one of their facilities. Companies all over the world are going to Ozone gas for complete rapid decontamination of Machinery glassware you name it I understand this is an infomercial but let's get a little honest here. There's nothing that hydrogen peroxide brings to the system that Ozone gas wouldn't

[@vader0ne]

Bill B I had the same problem ,I removed the rod and just put on a plug.Its been running with out the rod for the past 25 years without any problems.

[@toppredatorcoalition]

Can you elaborate on that? What rod and plug are you talking about. Sorry I’m new to all of this. Thanks!

[@user-hx3ev3ng5g]

no rod, now its eating his water tank😂😂

[@jew0182]

I have the hydrotec 565 softener system. I have replaced my anode rod in the hot water heater it has helped the hot water. Although sometimes I think I still smell it on the hot end but may just be in my nose. The cold water still smells even after treating it with chlorine and letting it sit over night. Is this peroxide system the answer? The best or only solution? I haven’t had one quoted yet.

[@uswatersystems]

Yes. Our Oxi-Gen peroxide system is the solution. The softener is not going to do much for the sulfur smell especially if it is in the cold water side too. Chlorine addition could work but there is no way to off-gas the sulfur with that oxidizer. The Oxi-Gen system we sell is the most robust system for sulfur. Period. It works every time it is applied correctly. You will need to confirm there is no methane or stray gasses in the water. You will also need to reduce the turbidity if any. It is also necessary to shock the well and run chlorine through all the plumbing prior to installing the Oxi-Gen. This will ensure all the bacteria in the plumbing system is destroyed. Then the Oxi-Gen system is put on line and the house is flushed with newly clean water from the Oxi-Gen system. Done deal!

[@jew0182]

US Water Systems thank you for the reply. I am going to “shock” the system once more but from the well this time. I don’t believe I got all the ”infection” killed last go round. Do you know much about the UV light systems? Those are something I was looking at as well. Thanks

[@SandcastleDreams]

@@uswatersystems What does it do for tannins in the water? We are in Central FL and must have the worst well water on the face of the earth!

[@SandcastleDreams]

What does the hydrogen peroxide system do to the tannins in the water?

[@uswatersystems]

You can't treat Tannin with Hydrogen peroxide. You would need a filter like this: www.uswatersystems.com/us-water-1-charged-membrane-filter-system-10-to-20-gpm.html

[@tandy2351]

great explanation - thanks!

[@timklassen421]

I heard a story of a well with 65 parts per million and Alberta enviroment had the well cemented shut now he hauls water in that level can poisen or kill you .

[@starthekids3406]

We already have a filtration system and salt system with my well water. We are in a high iron area. Are water still smells though. How might I get rid of it. Are cloths never come out of the washing machine smelling fresh like with city water.

[@uswatersystems]

Have you ever had a water test done by a professional lab? I would love to answer your question but to be completely accurate on how to treat your water you need to know exactly what is in it. Here is a link to the test we offer if you are interested. www.uswatersystems.com/us-water-systems-professional-lab-water-test.html

[@aebniala]

Salt bill could be high....

[@andreaschristodoulou4274]

How to inject peroxide direct to our domestic running FRESH water tap ???

[@carylovett8986]

What if you don't have access to the well it's your landlord and your ran off the well water

[@carylovett8986]

And is there something you can use to take it out of your home

[@uswatersystems]

Have you talked to your landlord? He should be responsible in maintaining the water, not you. Sulfur isn't harmful but I would hope your landlord would fix a problem like that for their tenants.

[@uswatersystems]

@@carylovett8986 Yes, we offer systems to remove sulfur: www.uswatersystems.com/water-problems/sulfur-hydrogen-sulfide But again, if you are renting you shouldn't have to take on that expensive investment.

[@ytSuns26]

Clorinators are and function very well as peroxide injection pumps. Peroxide is very fast and more effective than chlorine. If you have an injection pump you maybe able to just use peroxide instead. You can pretty easily buy 7% peroxide getting the 15% is not so easy. I spent thirty years treating water, my least favorite device injection pumps . You can buy a top notch pump and service it , or by an inexpensive blue and white every year. The cost and grief are about equal.

[@justindenmark9591]

I have the hydrogen peroxide system, the water still smells absolutely terrible especially if you wash any type of polyester clothing. We have to take it to the laundromat. I have a well with the peroxide system and backwash filter and softener. I use a local water company that charges me $100 a month for absolutely terrible water. I called Culligan they told me the sulfur in my area was too aggressive for their smaller systems to treat that I have the best thing available... there's absolutely no way that is true. It is set up at such a high rate that the water stays cloudy even after 10 minutes. We will deal with the smell but I wish somebody had an answer of some type of inline water filter that can help for the washing machine. The washer is only a year old we use affresh cleaner every 3 months and it doesn't help.

[@uswatersystems]

Hmm. Have you ever had your water tested for Methane? To properly treat your water, first we need to know exactly what's in it. Have you ever had a water test done by a certified lab?

[@uswatersystems]

Here is a link on how to test for Methane in your water: sciencing.com/detect-methane-gas-5880877.html Also, here is a link to our water test: www.uswatersystems.com/us-water-systems-professional-lab-water-test.html It doesn't test for Methane but it does test for pretty much anything else. Like I said, you need to know exactly what is in your water first, so that you know you are properly treating it. You can also talk to one of our specialists if you have any questions at 1-800-608-8792. Good luck.

[@justindenmark9591]

@@uswatersystems no I have never had it tested myself, I know the Culligan guy did some tests 4 sulfur and told me it was at the proper level but only after the water was running for a few minutes. I will take your advice and send off for the test. I will update you with the results. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Good thing I have a well so I don't have pay a water bill. Only have to pay thousands of dollars to get it to work right lol

[@msh.4890]

Does this work for apartments

[@uswatersystems]

Yes it does. It's a big investment however that if you are just renting you probably won't want to make - unless you can get your landlord to cover the cost.

[@MrEye4get]

The warning about Chlorine is realistic but it is commonly used (around the world) Hydrogen Peroxide (systems and chemicals) are largely unknown and expensive!

[@baseballfuriefan]

I just replaced my hot water heater. But the egg smell is still there. How do I get rid of that smell?

[@bthomas493]

It’s the anode rod. Take it out and put an aluminum one in. I did it and it worked great to get rid of the smell.

Is sulfur ever a problem in city water?

[@uswatersystems]

Yes, definitely. A lot of times you will only notice the smell with your hot water. This is a sign that the Sulfur is forming inside your hot water heater.

Get the rainwater for drinking.

HE WANTS TO MAKE MONEY OUT OF THE VIDEO, THE LONGER THE VIDEO THE MORE MONEY HE GETS PER VIEWS, AND YET SO MUCH TO BUY IF YOU USE THIS, IS HAVE TO BE DONE WHEN THE WELL IS MADE OR BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING ELSE.

@@pelusopeter5442 jeez calm down dude

[@Skribble279]

[@uswatersystems]

You probably need to sanitize your water heater.

[@uswatersystems]

Or possibly need to replace the annode in your water heater. I'm 99% sure one of those two things will solve your problem. You can find "How To's" for both of these on KZbin.
