SULFUR ODOR IN WATER
THE 3 MOST COMMON SOURCES OF SULFUR ODOR IN CT
1. FROM YOUR WELL
- Does it smell like sulfur in your HOT and COLD water?
- Most likely it’s sulfur bacteria that produces hydrogen sulfide gas.
- It sounds bad but it’s NOT usually HARMFUL.
2. FROM YOUR HOT WATER HEATER
- Does it smell in your HOT water only?
- Most likely it’s the anode rod in your hot water heater.

3. FROM YOUR SILVER FLEX-LINE TUBING
- Does it smell from only one SINK?
- Most likely it’s your “flex-line,” flexible metal tubing for your hot and cold water. It can react to your water and make it smell.
- Usually only certain sinks or faucets that have the tubing will smell.
- You can remove the flex-line and soak it in a chlorine solution, or replace it.
