    Water From Washer Smells
    I have a sulfer smell that comes from my washer. I get my water from a well. This is really the only place that it smells too. This causes my towels and washcloth's to constantly smell like their mildewed after just one day of use. What would be my problem? How could I fix it?

    Thanks in Advance!

    Perhaps you have bacteria growing in the washers sump. Try this, take and pour a gallon of bleach in the washer tub and cycle the washer. This will mix the bleach with water in the tub and send it into the sump and through the pump and hose. Let me Know, Tom
