Have your husband the plumber post here. This is a trade only board.

And no, my wife is not a member here. She is doing laundry or something

are you on well water?

last smell problem I had was because of under-use. If you have a heater that doesn't get used that often it will tend to start go bad on you as well. If it only happens with one and not the other then you might have a problem with under-use.

Is the smelly one plumbed to an ejector pump?

Protech · 08-30-2010, 09:55 PM

Or maybe the smelly one is used so infrequently that the bacteria builds up in it. Anything below 140F and bacteria growth is slowed but not stopped.

Maybe they dont use that side of the house as much. Water sits in the pipes for days and starts to smell?

The smell is only on one side of the house, used frequently. (kitchen side). I just saw posts asking my husband to post, not me. Really?
