    Water; bad taste and smell
    I had new pipes installed amonth ago and my water tastes like chemicals and smells like magic markers. It runs through a filter and I put a new filter in and it has not improved. Any suggestions?

    Hi phmasty, have you removed and soaked the aerators on all faucets? If not try soaking them in bleach. Good luck
