Foul smelling water?

Question

The water coming in has a foul scent to it. There's nothing physically wrong if you look at the water, but it has a bad smell to it. It's not just the sink, but the showers as well. I live in South Florida, and the area hasn't had anything bad happen recently. Is it something to do with our filter?

Answer 1

You may just have to replace the anode rod in your water heater.  Water heaters usually come with a magnesium composite rod, they can react with certain water chemistry and give you a rotten egg smell in your hot water.  Get an aluminum anode rod to replace the magnesium one.
