Fix Rotten Egg Smell in Hot Water – Easy Sulfur Smell Fix for Water Heater

Описание: If your hot water smells like rotten eggs or sulfur, this quick and easy fix might solve it! In this video, I show how I eliminated that nasty sulfur smell coming from every faucet in my house. After posting my earlier video on disabling the Leak Detection System on a Rheem Electric Water Heater, I ran into this new issue — and found a simple solution without replacing the anode rod.
You’ll learn:
✅ What causes sulfur or rotten egg smell in hot water
✅ How sulfur-reducing bacteria produce hydrogen sulfide gas in oxygen-deficient environments
✅ Why increasing your water heater temperature to 130°F can eliminate the smell
✅ Why you should be cautious about setting it higher than 130°F (scalding risk!)
✅ When to call a plumber if the smell returns
The fix: I simply raised the water heater temperature from 120°F to 130°F — and the smell disappeared!
