Rotten eggs

It is the water - run some in a cup, it stinks!

Hi,I had a similar problem but it was more noticable after id run the truma heater or heated the water (truma ultrastore ) Having a look at the routing of the water pipes I noticed the cold ran parallel to the hot in the fire and boiler area and leading to the shower room and then onto kitchen sink area.I deduced the heat was causing bacteria in the cold pipe to produce the smell.Leaving milton over night in the line didnt cure it,but but adding a large dose to the tank and running it through the cold taps at least twice a day over a week did the job.Some will say dont use milton in this manner so find an alternate if you like.

I had the same problem on a sailing boat. It was only eventually cured by replacing the water pipes with new piping. Seems bacteria had grown on the walls of the pipe - it was the clear flexible type - and producing that horrible rotten egg smell.
