    Hot water smells like sulphur
    We are on well water on our property; it has been tested and is safe for drinking, etc.; however, it is high in sulphur. Hot water, especially in the bathrooms has a strong sulphur smell and sometimes runs dark gray for a moment or two. The cold water is fine. We had a new annode put in the hot water heater which is only a year old. We have been told to put bleach in the well and that will take care of it; is there any other solution. Why does only the hot water smell and look so bad?

    The sulphur content in the cold water could explain the smell, worse when heated, but explain about the color. Regards, Tom
