What is Causing My Smelly Water?

And How Do I Fix It?

Rotten egg smell in your drinking water is usually one of two culprits: Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) or Sulfates

H2S is a mineral released from the earth that finds its way into groundwater.

Sulfates are sulfur-containing compounds found in nature that bacteria can turn into H2S.

H2S in gas form is quite dangerous, however, when dissolved in water it is less so, but it still poses health risks. 

So how does it get in your water? It is often there naturally. If you are on city water, an attempt has been made to reduce it to “not unhealthy” levels. 

If you are on well water, it’s especially common in wells located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil, like those in the Port Charlotte, North Port, Punta Gorda, Arcadia and Venice areas of Florida.

Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be associated with sewage contamination or with  bacteria in your water heater…

The most important thing to note is that it is ALWAYS worthwhile to get your water tested if you have smelly water. H2S in higher concentrations poses immediate risks including nausea, vomiting, and potentially serious health effects in the long term.

So how do you fix water that smells like sulfur?

The first step is to figure out what is actually causing the smell. That usually involves a water test.

Next, once you know the cause, then you can move on to removing the contaminants, which, with H2S, isn’t usually as simple as adding in a filter.

This is where it becomes useful to have professional help. For Southwest Florida, Certain Services, Inc. will do free water testing to determine the source of the smell.

With those test results, we can tell you exactly what you’ll need to fix the problem. We have plenty of experience with the local water and we know what works.

After that, there’s no obligation to purchase equipment from us. Our goal is to provide you the information you need to make the best decision for your family.

Bill and Chris thanks so much for all the work and great products that you guys installed for us. Joe did a fantastic job and did the job as if he was doing it for himself on his own property. I feel that everyone involved was honest and fair with us. Kelly did a great job when I first came into... the office. It is hard to find a company that does what they say and comes to the job prepared. I will recommend you guys to anyone in need of a water treatment system. Thanks again for a quality job done on time and will call if anything else is needed.read more

Installing a new service and then forgetting who you are seems the way of businesses today. Not this company. I had what I thought was an issue with my filtration system. Bill came out to our house and checked out the system himself, located the problem, and fixed it for me. It was bacteria in... the hot water heater and had nothing to do with the filtration system, but he fixed it anyway. This is the kind of company and people you want to be doing business with. They have my highest recommendation.read more
