Why does my hot water smell? What is causing it?

If only the hot water smells, it may be due to the anode rod in the water heater. Soft water can erode magesium rods, producing a gas that causes the odor. An aluminum or powered rod can solve this. If the odor is present in both hot and cold water, it may indicate other issues.

Reach out to the water heater manufacturer for an aluminum or powered anode rod, or contact us for a comprehensive water analysis and treatment options.
