If you rely on well water, you might be familiar with that unpleasant “rotten egg” smell. This odor, common in millions of U.S. households, is often caused by sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in the water. Unlike city water, well water typically isn’t treated to the same standard, and each household requires its own solution.
Sulphate-reducing bacteria feed on hydrogen, which is produced by the magnesium anode rod inside your hot water tank. As they consume hydrogen, they release hydrogen sulfide gas, which has that signature sulfur smell.
Some homeowners might think about removing the anode rod to stop this smell. However, this would be a big mistake! Without the anode rod, your hot water tank would begin to rust almost immediately, significantly shortening its lifespan.
If you’re tired of the rotten egg smell and looking for a long-lasting fix, we have the perfect solution for you! The S.O.S. PROTECT™ powered anode system can eliminate the odor in as little as 24 hours.
This system is safe, effective, and chemical-free. By removing the hydrogen that SRBs feed on, it makes the water in your tank inhospitable to the bacteria. The result? A permanent solution to the rotten egg smell.
