Does Your Water Smell Like Sulfur or Rotten Eggs?

Find everything you need to get rid of H2S and that sulfur/rotten-egg smell from your water with Culligan of Nashville

Why Does My Water Smell Like Rotten Eggs in the Nashville area?

Usually, if your water smells like sulfur or rotten eggs, the reason is because your water has high Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) content.

H2S is a gas that is released from the earth and finds its way into groundwater. It’s especially common in well water located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil.

(Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be caused by a water heater or by sewage pollution in your water. If you’re on city water, the most likely explanation is your water heater.)

H2S dissolves in water to create a weak acid that can corrode metal pipes

Negative Effects of H2S

In addition to potential health risks, having H2S in your water can cause all sorts of annoying problems. H2S in your water can:

  • Cause coffee and tea to be discolored and taste funny
  • Corrode metals (steel, copper, iron, brass), including silverware
  • Cause foods cooked with water to taste “off”
  • Create yellow or black stains in your bathroom and kitchen 

How Do You Fix It?

Here at Culligan, you can find everything you need to get rid of H2S and that sulfur/rotten-egg smell from your water.

The first step we have to take is to test your water, so we can be sure of the real cause of the rotten-egg smell.

Fortunately, here at Culligan we offer this service free. One of our water experts will come to your home to test the water (you can’t send it away to a laboratory because H2S is a gas and could dissipate during transport) and let you know the source of your rotten-egg smell. You’re under no obligation whatsoever. 

Culligan water treatment systems can completely remove the rotten-egg smell from your water

Our system started leaking last night and we had to turn the water off to the house. I called the emergency line and Dalton came out immediately even though it was 830 at night. He promptly fixed it and in fact, upgraded our parts so we wouldn’t have any problems in the future. He was pleasant And friendly. He was a real lifesaver.
Andrew was fantastic—friendly, professional, and easy to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable about the products and took the time to walk us through the options, ultimately helping us select the one that best fit our team’s needs. It’s been a perfect addition to our breakroom, and we couldn’t be happier!
Lisa High was our sales person. She was very personal and friendly. No pressure to make an immediate decision, she just explained options. Our Culligan water feels great, tastes great, and we no longer have to squeegee the shower doors!
Dalton came out today to service my water system. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and timely. He went above and beyond for me. I truly appreciate the exceptional service that was provided by him and the company. I would recommend Dalton and Culligan to anyone looking for a water filtration system.
