I moved into a brand new house with a well, whole house R.O. ,softener and chlorine injection. We had sulfur smell even with top of the line purification equipment. After several weeks of trying to make adjustments to the system with no relief, we narrowed it down to the hot water. We have a Rheem Classic Plus Professional water heater. The specs show it having a magnesium anode rod. After doing a little homework, I found waterodor.com and with the reviews I decided to try it. The directions are very easy to follow and it was not hard to install. The toughest part is getting the old anode rod out but it came out quite easily with a battery powered impact wrench to just loosen it. There's an outlet next to the water heater so it was easy to connect to a power source. I did not flush the heater, but I did turn the temperature up to 140 degrees overnight before I installed the new rod. Within a day of use, the smell was gone. It's been in two months now and we haven't had a sulfur smell problem since. My neighbor had the same problem and has the same water heater. He changed the anode rod to an aluminum anode and says the sulfur smell had stopped, but he will have to replace it eventually.
