    Sink smell
    We have a new house in a construction area. The water coming from the sink in the bathroom has a sulpher smell. It does not have this smell coming from the sink on my husband's side, or elsewhere in the house. We had a watersoftener salesman come and he said the water was OK. (we did not buy a softerner.) what could this smell be?

    Hi Sandy,
    Take the areator off from the spout and soak it in bleach for 5 or10 minutes. While it's off turn the water on and see if it still smells bad. Does it smell worse on hot, cold or the same on both? Regards, Tom
