Rotten Egg Smell in Water

Culligan of Sarasota’s Sulfur water filtration is certified to NSF/ANSI 42 for hydrogen sulfide reduction in Southwest Florida.

Does Your Water Smell Like Sulfur or Rotten Eggs in Southwest Florida?

Usually, if your water smells like sulfur or rotten eggs, the reason is that your water has high Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) content.

H2S is a gas that is released from the earth and finds its way into groundwater. It’s especially common in well water located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil.

(Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be caused by a water heater or by sewage pollution in your water. If you’re on city water, the most likely explanation is your water heater.)

H2S dissolves in water to create a weak acid that can corrode metal pipes

Negative Effects of H2S

In addition to potential health risks, having H2S in your water can cause all sorts of annoying problems. H2S in your water can:

  • Cause coffee and tea to be discolored and taste funny
  • Corrode metals (steel, copper, iron, brass), including silverware
  • Cause foods cooked with water to taste “off”
  • Create yellow or black stains in your bathroom and kitchen 

There's a Filter Built Specifically For This

There's a Filter Built Specifically For This

Hydrogen sulfide has a dedicated solution. Not a general-purpose carbon filter that helps for a while, but a system that uses aeration to address the gas at the point where water enters your home, certified against a standard written for exactly this.

That means a shower that smells like nothing. Coffee that tastes like coffee. Laundry without black specks. Water you can offer a guest without explaining.

Aquasential® Sulfur Water Filter

Tested and certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the effective reduction of hydrogen sulfide up to 500 gallons, plus NSF/ANSI 372. Indoor systems are also certified to CSA B483.1.

Aquasential® Iron Water Filter

If you have orange stains as well as the smell, this one covers both. Certified by WQA against NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for iron reduction, and it’s a two-in-one system addressing both iron and hydrogen sulfide.

Love mast family culligan! Doing great work. Quick, responsive. Great customer service! And their new advancements/updates are super cool!
Great service and clean installation.
They've worked on our system over the years above and beyond excellence
Jared Parmer installed my bottom loading water dispenser & it was malfunctioning so he brought a brand new one out to me & installed it which I am very happy with. Hot, cold and room temperature water for the cats, what more can you ask for. He is punctual, comes when he says he is and notifies me if he's going to be late or early. Excellent service and a great product at a great price!!!
Always send me notices to remind me to have my water bottles outside on delivery day. They have been consistent with deliveries, and the prices are very fair. The water quality is fantastic!
Mike was on time he did his job quickly and was a super nice man. Thank you mike
We have used Culligan for years at Solutions Pest Management, Inc. in Englewood and it's nice to say it's one of the "easy" vendors we deal with. Jared the delivery guy is friendly, respectful and easy to work with. And billing has never been a headache. We have been able to adjust easily as needs changed. For commercial or residential we would recommend them.
Great job. Driver always does a great job. Put water bottles in the garage for me and never complains.
We have had great friendly service! We highly recommend working with Jarred!
These filters have great technicians. They come out and take care of everything for you. That’s really convenient. These filters are made with high precision parts extremely small and precise measurements and the technicians are trained to service every bit of it. That’s why they work so well when you taste the water.
My experience with Culligan Sarasota has been excellent! From the sales process with Erik through installation with Yoandri, everyone has been professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. I recommend Culligan Sarasota.
Jared Parmer at the Culligan of Sarasota location is amazing! Always arrives with a positive attitude, respectful, and very kind to everyone on our team. We couldn't have asked for better service!
