[QUOTE="bear, post: 868687, member: 5779"] Consider yourself fortunate if you were able to resolve your smell by replacing the water heater anode. Most others that experience the odor of hydrogen sulfide from a well are not able to solve their problem so easy. Shock treating a well with chlorine temporarily kills sulfur bacteria and oxidizes the hydrogen sulfide gas in the well. Residual chlorine left over from the oxidation process can create health safety issues. Before drinking the water after a shock treatment, the water should be tested for residual chlorine. If the chlorine was not used up in the oxidation process you must run water until chlorine is gone. Do not drain into your septic system. Injection systems are a very safe and effective method for oxidizing hydrogen sulfide gas. Hydrogen sulfide gas can be oxidized many ways. Air is sometimes used as an oxidizer when the concentration of hydrogen sulfide is less than 10 ppm. Chlorine and potassium permangenate have been the most common oxidizers but ozone and hydrogen peroxide have become a more natural source of oxidizing agents for hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide levels will fluctuate throughout the year and will require more or less oxidizing agent. It is important to test the level of hydrogen sulfide 3-4 times a year to maintain water quality. If you begin to smell hydrogen sulfide or taste the oxidizing agent, test the water and adjust the concentration of oxidizing agent. Bear [/QUOTE]
