Oily or 'hot' smell coming from water after replacing well water pump
My husband and I had to replace our water pump after it ceased and died on us this past Friday night!
Ever since we replaced the well pump with a new Gould 1/2 hp we have been noticing an oily or hot smell coming from our taps... doesnt matter if it's the kitchen or the bathroom sink or shower... it all smells oily or hot... hot or cold.
My husband went to the shed where the old broken well water pump is currently being stored and he said THAT smelled like our water does now.
We did not have this problem before this water pump died.. we only noticed it after replacing it. But the old pump smells like out water?
Should we get our water tested for some sort of contamination? The water is clear and does not have any 'floaties' or discoloration... just smells funny. It does not smell at all like there is a sulphur issue. Everyone knows that smells like eggs!
Thanks for any help you can provide us. We are currently not using the water for consumption... only using it for showers, laundry, toilet, etc.
Thanks for your help. We are getting concerned we will need to dump even more money into this already costly repair!!
