2 weeks ago my husband replaced the 1980's faucet and vanity in our master bath.
Now when I turn on the water (hot or cold) it smells like mildew; I can actually smell it on my hands, so I know it is the water not the drain. None of the other faucets in the house have this problem. The new faucet is an American Standard Cadet 8115F; purchased specifically because the box said "speed connect drain--1/3 the parts, installs in 1/3 the time". He installed new 1/2" IPS connections as directed on the faucet box. We are on city water, this is a first floor bath which backs up to another bath. Sorry if I've given too much information (or not enough!), this is my first time posting a question here. Thanks for any and all assistance!
