The most common natural reasons for Florida’s water to smell unpleasant is because of the surrounding environment. With a high organic content, the water may smell "humic" and the presence of sulfur compounds makes the water smell of rotten eggs. Filtration often resolves the problem. Under certain circumstances, the human nose may also identify the presence of contaminants from spills, such as gasoline, or extreme bacteriological activity. See similar questions...

Most often, bad breath is caused by dental or periodontal disease. Some dogs do not adequately chew their food; thus they don't clean their teeth naturally by the chewing process. Also, some dogs and cats are just prone to dental plaque, tartar and disease. These pets may need more frequent dental cleanings and treatments. Internal diseases such as kidney disease can also cause bad breath. See similar questions...

You would know it if you had this problem! In some parts of the country, drinking water can contain the chemical hydrogen sulfide, which smells just like rotten eggs. This can occur when water comes into contact with organic matter or with some minerals, such as pyrite. The situation mostly occurs as ground water filters through organic material or rocks.

It is possible some people may detect a slight chlorine odor, usually less than a swimming pool or hot tub. See similar questions...

This may take place during the summer months. A combination of low water levels in our reservoirs and high temperatures are excellent conditions for the growth of algae. The algae then creates an oil which permeates the water and creates an almost muddy, musty smell and taste. However, the water is safe to drink. The City of Plano purchases its treated water from the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD). See similar questions...

It is colorless, odorless and tasteless in pure form. Its taste depends on its purity, pH level and age. The Colloidal Silver Water may develop a sour or bitter taste if the pH is not neutral. It may also develop a metallic taste if the concentration for silver is high or the solution has aged and started to oxidize or it is stored in plastic. See similar questions...

Chlorine is used to disinfect your water. A slight taste of chlorine is a good thing - it means that likely no bacteria are alive in your water. You may notice a more intense chlorine taste and odor in your water when we flush the lines in the spring. This is because during flushing we use a stronger form of chlorine. Keeping an open container of water in the refrigerator for drinking helps dissipate a strong chlorine taste and odor. See similar questions...

Water may have an undesirable taste or smell if it has been stagnant in household plumbing too long. A 3 X 7 flush should alleviate the taste and odor issues. Should the undesirable properties persist, decide if a particular faucet is at fault. Sometimes point of use equipment, water softeners, water heaters, or in-line filters, can be the cause of strange tastes or smells. See similar questions...

Shock the water by using Renew every week or two (VERY IMPORTANT), depending on bather load and frequency. 1 TABLESPOON is all you need to put in.

Presumably, to attract insects that normally feed on dead animals ("carrion"). Carrion-loving insects include many species of flies, carrion beetles, and wasps. While in the flower, the insects carry pollen from one plant to another, pollinating the flowers. Competition for pollinators is great in the tropics due to very high diversity. By utilizing a group of insects not usually associated with pollination, for example, bees, the plant taps into another pool of pollen movers. See similar questions...

Taste and odor problems with the tap water can come from numerous sources. Lake turnover that occurs in the spring and fall can create problems from organic material from the bottom of the lake. New plumbing fixtures or new carpet in the house can combine with chemicals in the water to create odors.

Chlorine is used at each of our ten water well sites for disinfection. About thirty percent of the City's water supply is imported from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, which uses a different disinfection method known as "chloramination", a combination of chlorine and ammonia. When water using these two disinfection methods is blended together, it may give off a slight chlorine odor, which is not harmful. See similar questions...
