(I don't know HOW you did it but I thought it came out awesome.)<br /><br />I think you're right and I came to the same conclusion about a house filter. Unfortunately, they are expensive so I'll have to add it to a long list of things that need to be done here :( What bothers me most about the smell is the way it affects the laundry - clothes tend to really absorb the smell. I hate that I have to dump the strongest detergents and fresheners in the wash and use twice the amount of dryer sheets in the dryer and I can STILL smell the egg odor. Thanks for commenting on this. <br /><br />Are you enjoying this crazy winter? Lol.

I researched it online and found out that the problem is NOT caused by manganese but by hydrogen sulfide gas and we likely need a whole house filter to solve the problem.

We had the water tested when we moved in - the only problem was high manganese levels but not so high that it's dangerous. It's still within the acceptable range. But it smells bad. The kitchen has a special filter but the rest of the water in the house smells bad. I don't know how much a whole house filtration system costs but I'm betting it's a lot.Mary N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06618318192221168152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449799335048031917.post-2429134283556149282014-02-28T20:15:43.674-05:002014-02-28T20:15:43.674-05:00Mary, I went straight to google and immediately go...Mary, I went straight to google and immediately got things about "sulfur water" (I had wrong spelling). Rotten egg smell. Both of the first links said it isn't harmful.

My uncle and aunt had a riverside vacation cabin when I was growing up, and I always thought the water smelled just like eggs (more specifically, rotten eggs). My father called it "sulphur water," and said the smell had to do with how the water (which I think was well water that came in through faucets) was "purified".....?? Does that sound right... to anyone?
