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 Tampa.

Why Does My Water Smell Like Rotten Eggs in Tampa Bay?

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.)

corrosion
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?

Culligan of Tampa, 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, Culligan of Tampa we offer this service for 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.

I called Culligan today as my water softener has been leaking from the water spigot and the elbow pipeline. Lacy attended my call and we did a FaceTime call to show her what the problem was. She was very helpful and quick to set up a service call with a technician that is on my area. I’m still waiting for the technician as it just occurred, but she moved quickly to find me a solution. That is great customer service. I will come back to review the technician.

We had a wonderful experience with Culligan! Our salesman was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel pressured. The entire process was easy and stress-free from start to finish. We’re very happy with our experience and the service we received from Culligan. Great customer service and a company we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a water system for their home!

I foolishly chose another company, as opposed to the name I’ve known for years, the Culligan Man. It’s quality equipment behind that name, and excellent service behind that name. My representative was Julio, he came in and got us back on track. The system we had failed in two years, a 25 year warranty means nothing, if you can’t reach anybody, when something goes wrong. My skin was inflamed, if you have any type of skin disorder you understand, it was 7 months of system, that was just dead, not working and we still have to finish paying for it. My water feels amazing now, it didn’t take long, and so does my skin. Thank you Julio our available, knowledgeable and professional Culligan Man.
Christian Becker
Culligan of Tampa (Plant City Location) was fantastic to work with. Zack was prompt with coming out for an estimate and was very knowledgeable on the systems and helped us narrow down what was best for our needs. We’ve noticed a difference right away with this new softener system and the overall service and experience with Culligan has been great!
Teresa Paulino
Thank you to all the Service partners at Culligan! Lacy such a pleasure to speak with over the phone. She very reassuring to my concerns and needs. Both Donnie and Henry are quick to help with filter replacements, salt replenishment and making sure interior/exterior systems are working properly. Nothing like good tasting water 💧 for drinking and especially for cooking 🧑🏻‍🍳!!!!
