If it's ONLY in the hot water, it's coming from bacteria on the magnesium anode rod in the water heater. You can fix this permanently in 15 minutes. Get rid of the anode rod and replace it with a CorroProtec powered anode rod. It lasts for 20 years, eliminates the sulfur stink immediately and permanently. No need to keep treating the tank with peroxide or chlorine over and over. It's a once and done fix! It's the magnesium anode rod that promotes the stink. The Corro-Protec powered anode rod is titanium with a mixed metal oxide coating. It will last a minimum of 20 years, it is not sacrificial and does not degrade. And it's quite short in case of limited overhead clearance. I have them in my water heaters, which I expect to last over 20 years, without ever changing an anode rod.
Tried this today! I’m a young single mom and a first time homeowner so thank you so much for showing step by step how to do this! Hopefully it works 🤞 Side note and completely off topic: Your voice reminds me of the man in the beginning of Law and Order: SVU
That’s not me… but it sounds like a fun job! Hopefully this works for you. I would also check with a reputable water company to make sure that your settings are correct on your water softener and that it is regenerating when it is supposed to.
Thank you for taking the time to post this, it was very helpful. I believe we have very similar equipment to yours, to combat the same sulfur issue. We ordered the Nutrasul per your demo, and I just treated it today. Only difference is that my "gurgle" mode lasts for 40 mins. I was just wondering if you think it would be a good idea to run an entire regen after doing this, to flush out all the chemical. Thanks again
@RandomlyAwkward1 Thanks for the reply. I put about 10 oz in it yesterday and the smell has subsided about 70-80% througout the house. Really appreciate you uploading this, because the local water co charged us $210 to do this same thing a couple months ago. Was also wondering if you noticed any copper discoloration from your well water. We get copper turing dark wherever there is water activity. Thanks
Thank you for the advice! This is not the first time we have been on a well, but the first time in Florida on a well. I will take your advice and look into this…Thanks!
So my two red clips on my softener head are for the brine tank line and the other is a water line that runs into the softener. I don’t have a vent cap like yours. Any ideas on where to put the neutra sul? Thanks!
Hello… yes the second tank is to remove the Sulfur smell. Our house came with the system, but Southwest Florida has really bad smelly water so that helps to collect the sulfur smelling gas and then expel it when the water regenerates at 3 o’clock in the morning. It is a fairly common setup here. We only add salt to the brine tank like everyone else, but maybe every other month I add NeutraSul and do a regeneration cycle. It’s basically really strong hydrogen peroxide which eliminates the smell. Hope this helps!
Hi, just moved to North Port, Fl and trying to save some money diy, my system is pretty similar but there’s no pipe that releases water as yours, all pipes seem to be connected to others, can I still doing the treatment same as you do?
Hello! It probably just discharges with the drain pipe underground somewhere. Yes, you can still use the NeutraSul like I do. If you need to have your system checked out, I use New Life Well. They are in the Estates, very honest, and very knowledgeable. The owner is Charles. Hope this helps!
DON'T DO THIS TO A SOFTENER! The filter you are adding the H2O2 to is an air draw filter, typically with catalytic carbon (not softener resin beads). This is important as adding peroxide to your softener resin can destroy it. The air draw filter is designed to oxidize the sulfide by trapping air inside the top of the filter which acts as an oxidizer when the water enters the top of the filter. Peroxide is a very strong oxidizer and will help clean the carbon a little. However, these filters should be serviced about once per year as there is a venturi type injector inside the head of the control valve that gets clogged. It will need to be cleaned from time to time to keep the filter drawing air as it should.
Thank you very much for the detailed information. I was taught by the person that installed the softener that this is the correct procedure for my softener. I will double check as to whether this is harmful or not.
Found this video then saw you are in Estates like me. Subscribed. I am doing this as I type but do you let the brine cycle go for the full hour? I tried pausing before you popped the top on but couldn't see the screen. Thanks neighbor!
Hi Tom131…. Yes, after adding the chemical, I let it run for the full hour. If you need some NeutraSul, email me at randomlyawkward1@gmail.com and I’ll hook you up.
@@RandomlyAwkward1 Want to write here for the other viewers. I emailed this guy and he was a great help. Good source for SWFL for the random home things. I am doing this again so I needed a refresher :)
So how much does that entire set up cost? I have a place in Hammond, Louisiana and its in a rural area and is well water and it has the rotten egg smell...its horrific. I need a set up like you have.
Hi Mark...The system came with the house and our previous house already had one installed as well. I would guess around $2-3,000 but I am not positive. I'm sure your local well company can give you a price. Thanks for watching!

It probably couldn’t hurt. Maybe run it at night and go to bed while it does it’s thing

What solution do i use because both my sulfer filter and water softener us clogged

Could you tell me why you have 2 tanks? We have very hard water and supper smelling water is that the reason you have two

Yes this does help thanks guess everyone has this problem. I live in NS Canada they blame our bad water on the coal mines that used to be here.
So your adding this to the carbon filter, not the softener? I see the softener sitting next to what you're adding peroxide to.
Do you let the brine run it’s reagen after you added the Nutara-Sul
Yes, I let it run through the program which was about 1 hour.
@@RandomlyAwkward1 THANK YOU!!! 1 year later still helping out the people😎👍
@@jessebudnik5392 Thanks!
How often do you need to add the neutra Sul
Hi! I add it once a month or so. A gallon will last you over a year easily.
Super helpful video. Just add sulfur to my water softener 🤝🏾
Hopefully the NutraSul helped…
ThankYou. Am Going to try. Will double back with my results.
Hope it works for you. Good luck!
