Re: rotten egg or sulphur smell by richard
Post New Message Hello Marshall;
rotten egg smell inside is probably from "old" stagnant water that sat in Water heater. Once you started to use it you smell it-I suggest (1)run it all out (2) drain the water heater-turn pump off,--outside bottom drain-open the relief valve too.(3) when you put water back in rv---add 4 Oz. bleach-pour it in hose before hooking hose to rv--easier way--add 5-10 gallons---let it sit in tank 1 hr. then turn pump on run it through all spigots--shower too
plunge all drains---add water back into drains-so smell doesn't come back into rv-from tanks.
