Rotten Egg Smell in Largo Water? | Sulfur Removal Experts
If you’ve noticed a rotten egg smell coming from your faucets, sinks, or showers, it’s not your imagination.
That strong, unpleasant odor is often caused by hydrogen sulfide gas, a common issue in private well water systems throughout Largo and Pinellas County.
What Causes Sulfur Smell in Water?
Hydrogen Sulfide Gas is the Culprit
Hydrogen sulfide forms naturally when organic matter breaks down underground.
In well water systems, this gas can get trapped and then released when water flows through your pipes, giving off that unmistakable “rotten egg” smell.
Bacteria Can Make It Worse
In many cases, sulfur-reducing bacteria inside the well or plumbing system feed on sulfur and produce more hydrogen sulfide as a byproduct.
This can lead to even more pungent odors, slimy black buildup, and stains on your sinks or appliances.
Why Sulfur Smell Shouldn’t Be Ignored
That smell isn’t just annoying—it’s a warning. Hydrogen sulfide can:
- Corrode metal pipes and fixtures
- Damage your water heater
- Irritate your eyes, skin, and respiratory system
- Make drinking or bathing feel downright unpleasant
And if bacteria are involved, it could mean your well isn’t sealed correctly, or worse, that contamination is starting to spread.
