    Odor from well water in modular home



    The home is 13 years old and has been kept immaculately clean by previous owner.
    After moving in 3 weeks ago I was so dismayed that the odor was so strong coming from the shower. Nothing has helped so far. I spray Febreze but that's pretty expensive. Any suggestions appreciated. Anne

    Sometimes, during a dry spell, the county water in our area has a musty taste and smell. You may have bacteria in your pipes or the water table could just be low. You might want to have your well tested. Good luck, Tom
