water smells
Our hot water smells but the cold water is fine. Does this have anything to do with the anode rod in the how water heater? We have a well.

There is a sulfur reducing bacteria that can develop in the heater. Go ahead and remove the rod and while you are doing it, put a little bleach in the heater to kill the bacteria. It may reappear later, but that noramally takes of the odor issue.

You can also raise the temp on the heater to 140*f. That will kill the bacteria responsible for the creation of the odor.
