Hydrogen Sulfide: The "Rotten Eggs in My Water"

Are you tired of plugging your nose in the shower or being greeted by a rotten egg smell when you turn on the tap? You may have a hydrogen sulfide problem. This noxious, flammable, and poisonous gas is produced by sulfur reducing, anaerobic bacteria that feed on organics in groundwater. Trace elements of iron and magnesium can catalyze their growth and development, leading to the production of hydrogen sulfide as a waste product. Not only is the smell unbearable, but it can also damage plumbing systems and corrode piping.
Fortunately, Water Control has solutions to help you get rid of hydrogen sulfide in your water. Most residential and commercial iron filters can effectively treat typical levels of hydrogen sulfide, as they use oxidation and filtration methods similar to those used for iron and manganese issues. Alternatively, chemical injection systems or carbon filters can also be used to remove hydrogen sulfide. Water Control can also offer chlorine treatment for bacterial infestations in wells and plumbing systems.
Don't put up with that rotten egg smell any longer. Contact Water Control today to learn more about their methods for treating hydrogen sulfide issues in residential and commercial applications.
