Tap water stinks.

Post by Toepopper »

I turned on the kitchen sink to get a glass of water and noticed the aroma of sulpher coming from the tap. Let it run for a while but the smell did not go away so I hiked down to the wellhouse to inspect our well and it was fine, no foul smell coming from the water. I came back up to the house and drained the 75 gallon pressure tank and the water smelled really foul, sort of like rotton eggs and when the last 20 or so gallons emptied the water was discolored and extremely foul smelling. I filled the tank again and then drained it to flush out all the crud and corrosion, did this 3 times before the water ran clear again and now the tap water smells like it should again. I have decided to add this ritual to my list of chores to keep our water system running clean.
