If your water smells like rotten eggs, you are smelling hydrogen sulfide gas. It is unpleasant, it can corrode fixtures, and it is very treatable.
The rotten-egg odor comes from hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water, often produced by sulfur bacteria in wells or water heaters. It is common in Florida and other regions with limestone aquifers. Sometimes the smell only appears on the hot side, which points to the water heater.
Removing sulfur odor depends on how much hydrogen sulfide is present and whether iron and bacteria are involved. SolarPure tests your water and sizes a system that oxidizes and filters out the sulfur so the smell is gone at every tap. Because sulfur, iron, and hardness often occur together, we treat them as one system rather than chasing each symptom separately.
That usually points to a reaction in the water heater. If both hot and cold smell, the source is the water supply itself. A test pinpoints it.
At household levels it is mainly a nuisance and corrosion issue rather than a health hazard, but it should be removed for comfort and to protect fixtures.
A properly sized SolarPure system keeps it gone. Undersized or generic filters are why the smell often returns.
