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.

Lance very clearly showed me how bad our water was versus how good it could be with their water filtration system. I decided to buy it and Team) came out and had it installed very quickly and efficiently and it works amazing. I love having clean water to drink it taste so good. My hands always used to get very dry now they don’t because the water is so pure.

Very Pleased with this company. They took over contracts from an old company that went out of business a few years after we bought and had them install our full home water softener system and under-sink reverse osmosis.
Universal Water is the only place I can find the replacements filters for the RO system. I have had bad luck with trying to find the correct ones online or at other out of state companies, and when I could find them, the prices were exorbitant.

I had Universal Water come out to trouble shoot loss of pressure in our RO system.
Jonathan arrived a few minute early. (Loved this). He was very polite, did not mind wearing booties in our house.(we are a no shoes household). He thoroughly went through my system and explained and showed me everything he was doing and informed me the importance of the data he was collecting.
As it turned out the issue was with the holding tank for the RO system. Apparently the bladder inside the tank, which is how the system creates pressure to get the filtered water from the tank to come out
Well anyway it turns out the bladder/baffle inside the tank had started to loose air. .( a normal occurrence over time).

This is and was remedied by pumping air into tank, via an attached valve stem, to correct pressure (if the bladder has not popped or has a leak) Then he did a maintenance check to my whole house water softener. After that, he tested the water from the sink faucet as well as the RO system. Again he explained what each test was, the ideal values and the actual values from my system.

I was initially quoted a price of 125.00 for the service call plus any parts or labor that may be required to get the system running correctly. Well after all the things Jonathan did, the system was running exactly as designed and when it came time to pay them they did not charge me anything, but advised if the problem reappears and they fix it they wold have to charge me then. (NO PROBLEM) I will definitely continue using them and would recommend them to any of my friends or family. If their other employees are as good a Jonathan this place will be around for long long time.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re glad Jonathan was able to get everything running properly and explain the process along the way. We truly appreciate your trust in Universal Water and your recommendation, it means a lot to us!
