Hi, I have 2 questions.

1. In our toilet there is a stagnant water smell - almost a sewage smell. I have located that the smell is coming from the toilet bowl. I have smelt the water tank and it does not have an odor. We are on mains water.

2. In the ensuite there is a musty odor I can not locate a direct source of the smell. The shower and toilet get used daily. The water in the toilet bowl always looks a yellow color regardless of what I use in the water (bleach etc). Do you have any suggestions?

The house is 13 years old and we have only been here 5 months.

Thanks heaps

You may have sulfer in the water. Does the neighborhood also have this?

Hi Doug,

This may be possible. If this is the case would I get the smell in other 'water' areas? I am unsure if others in the neighbourhood have this problem. Do you know how I can determnine if I have sulfur in the water and if so how to fix this? I used to live 10 km away from where we live now and never had this problem.

Thanks heaps

Pump or city water? Regards, Tom

Hi Tom,

We are on City water.

Rust colored water could be a steel pipe in the line that is rusting. Peek in the tank, any metal rusting in there? Sulfer water would smell like rotten eggs at every fixture.

Thanks Doug. Definantly not sulfur. Will check the rust.
