Having Smelly Water Stinks

Fix it with an all-natural, affordable solution from Universal Water Systems Colorado

There are typically two water contaminants that can cause your water to smell like sulfur or rotten eggs, one is Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and the other is iron or sulfates.

H2S is a mineral that is released from the earth and finds its way into groundwater. It’s especially common in well water located near shale, sandstone, coal, peat, or oil.

Occasionally, a rotten-egg smell in your water could also be caused by a water heater or by sewage pollution in your water. If you’re on city water, the most likely explanation is your water heater.

The most important thing to note is that it is ALWAYS worthwhile to get your water tested as H2S poses a serious potential health risk including nausea, vomiting, and other serious health effects.

So how do you fix it?

Depending on the root cause of the issue there are affordable options available through Universal Water Systems Colorado. We offer free water testing to determine the source of the smell. There’s no obligation to purchase equipment from us as our goal is to provide valuable information help you make the best decision for your home and family.

I'm very pleased with our new water system. My hands are... not all cracked up anymore. The install team were great guys, they are veteran's like I am. We know his name, but "The water guy" as we call him was great as well. He did an awesome and thorough job of demonstrating the system benefits. He was easy to talk to and is still in communication with us to this day. Thank you.read more

We have very hard water and had talked with several water... softener companies. We decided to go with Universal Water Systems for several reasons.1) The sales person was very knowledgeable and friendly and had a bunch of cool demos to show how the water would taste after treatment and how it would make soap a lot more effective.2) This system can use potassium salt instead of sodium chloride which is kinder to the ecosystem.3) This system uses less salt because a lot of the ion exchange happens on the resin beads, and they have a lifetime guarantee on the resin beads which can be quite expensive to replace.4) They also offer financing which enabled us to get a bigger and higher quality system than we otherwise would have been able to afford.The install team was friendly and able to quickly install the system. They also provide on going customer support. In the first two weeks of having the system our water tastes much better and the scale has disappeared from the toilet, tea kettle and dishes. For the first time in 6 years we have been able to use the dish washer which is a major time saver. I have really enjoyed working with these folks and l appreciate the cleaner water.read more

This water system is truly different from any other. I had... it installed in my home, as well as the additional reverse osmosis filter for my kitchen & refrigerator water. You can taste & feel the difference. After moving to Colorado, my skin was so dry I developed eczema that I’d never had before. Within two weeks, I noticed a difference & within 3 weeks it was gone. Within days, I noticed my hands were less dry (I wash them a lot,) and we almost immediately noticed the taste in the water. I want to drink water now! I’m using notably less lotion as my skin is not as dry. Their customer service is amazing and installation was painless. I wish I had gotten the names of everyone, but can say that Christina K (who was the representative/sales individual) and Nick and Sean (installed the reverse/osmosis system under my sink) were outstanding- friendly, professional, efficient, and all three were extremely knowledgeable about the system. The two gentlemen (whose names I didn’t write down) who installed the house wide system were also incredible. Though it is admittedly pricy, it has definitely improved my health & skin. Plus, it is easily moved & I will be taking it to my next house when i move. Highly recommend this company & their products.read more

Would have been three stars save for their management... making things right.This installation was to neutralize pH to stop ruining seals in my boiler.Arranged to have a water conditioner and iron removal unit installed. (ETF2300PF12)First scheduled install appointment I got no call, no notice no-show, After calling management found they hadn’t pre-ordered the filter medium so they had to wait for that to come in. He apologized for the miscommunication. By the time it came in I was on travel.The first technicians arrived and installex the unit in a very inconvenient spot - in our coat closet. It was never discussed where the unit was going to be located I just assumed it would be in the garage.Not only was this a very lazy install, because the very first sentence of the installation manual says locate as close to the pressure tank or city water inlet as possible this was as far away from the pressure tank as possible!I voiced my vehement disapproval with the install with management, and after I got back, technicians arrived these ones knew what they were doing and put it exactly where I wanted it and it’s been working great ever since.The technicians related that they get worked a lot and communications are screwed up so bear that in mind if you hire them.read more

Universal Water Systems arranged for our home tap water to be tested, for free, as soon as next week. It was horrible what we had In our water and what we were giving our dogs even! We were able to schedule installation in less than a week. Everyone involved was beyond professional and courteous.
