Default Sulfur taste and smell

We have sulfur in our water, will your faucet filter remove its taste and smell to make the water drinkable?

Default Re: Sulfur taste and smell

Sulfur is a hard thing to deal with. Below is an excerpt from our Question and Answer page http://www.waterfilters.net/Contaminant-Questions_ep_56-1.html


This is a very common problem for private wells. The smell of sulfur is difficult to remove from water. The best solution are bladderless pressure tanks with aerator valves. Taste and odor carbon filters will reduce the smell, but they will need changing frequently. The reason for the frequent changes is that the sulfur smell will return once the oxygen in the filter cartridge is exhausted. A more robust solution is to get an aerator that will continually provide oxygen that will combine with other elements in your water. The resulting chemical reactions remove the sulfur smell.

Thank you,
