Rotten Egg Smell in My Water
Generally the “rotten egg” smell in well water in the Ottawa, Gatineau, Kingston, Cornwall area is caused by Sulfur and/or Hydrogen Sulfite (H2S) in your water. This can make your water smell like “rotten eggs”.
Sulfur in your water
Sulfur in your water is something in your water that is deteriorating that is giving off a sulfur smell. Sulfur will make your water smell like “rotten eggs”.
Hydrogen Sulfite (H2S) in your water
Hydrogen Sulfite (H2S) in your water is a gas that will also make your water smell like “rotten egs” but is a lot “sharper” smelling than sulfur is. Also Hydrogen Sulfite (H2S) when it hits air or oxygen, turns black. So if you sometimes see your water is black when you first turn on the taps, you most likely have Hydrogen Sulfite (H2S) in your water.
