Only notice smell when using hot water. There is no funny taste and we have a water softening system

you would have to buy a potassium permanganate filter system and add a chlorinator to it to get rid of the odor....since the smell is only when you use the hot water the anode rod in the water heater needs to be removed...

you weren't specific on what style of water you have on your place. Do you reside in the rustic and characteristic properly water? if so a water softener will help lots, yet won't completely do away with the priority. There are filters and in-line water therapy structures you will possibly desire to purchase yet they are particularly high priced. yet another risk is your warm water heater. Do you have an electric powered one, or a gas one? If it fairly is electric powered there's a lengthy rod it fairly is interior the tank it fairly is created from a metallic that reacts with the sulfur in the water to make the scent worse. once you're available you may close off the skill to the water heater then get rid of and shrink the rod off with a hacksaw. this might make the scent in the warm water much less major. it fairly is the main inexpensive restoration if the priority is the worst with the warm water. reliable success

Have the water tested. You will more than likely need to add a neutralizer to your water treatment system. The smell I would guess is sulfur. You need to get the water tested first to know what you are dealing with.

If you've got an electric water heater, I would suggest checking the anode rod in it before you spend any money on the well. Seems funny you'd only smell in when the hot water is used if it is indeed an issue with the well.

Go into a place near you that deals with wells, and buy a well bleacher. Its not bleach but it basically cleans your water system.
