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 Water of Bakersfield

Why Does My Water Smell Like Rotten Eggs in ?

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

Great place
Update 4-22-22: I needed parts for my water softener...the staff is very friendly, and their prices are fair, and I love stopping at Wienerschnitzel down the street. As I get older I make sure I support good companies with my business...this is one of the Best Culligan's companies.Update: 7-1-2020 Just got back from this dealership...Carl is an awesome technician, and he gave me a few tips for sterilizing my softener. I really enjoyed chatting with him. The staff was top notch, and the place was well organized...Culligan H.Q. should be proud, of the standard this company sets.I am in between service areas for Culligan....I went to this location, and service was "Great" price was "Good" ...I could have gone to Los Angeles county and paid more (which I have in the past) This is my go-to Culligan dealer for seal kits. And when I upgrade my Gold series water softener...I will get a quote from these guys...although I am in Lancaster...maybe they do not come this far south..? territory issues...? Some dealers are OK, this dealer is "top notch" (the best)
The man Carl I dealt with was a very insightful man and extremely knowledgeable about water conditioning in many different ways.These guys have a good set of skills for the water industry!Thanks Carl,Dave
