I have one more question about possible cause and what is the best solution to fix the problem with my hot water line. Here is some background on what was done in an effort to fix it. I bought a house with well water and septic system in Florida. I have installed water softener and chlorination system with backwashed carbon filter. The water is fine now from cold line and I do not have any issues with it. The problem comes from hot water lines in the entire house. It stinks really bad to the point until the hot water begin to flow. It takes about 30-40 second, but it is enough time to stink the entire bathroom and bedroom. The water has no smell while it is still hot but after it cools down in pipes (30-40 min) it smells again. I have replaced water heater with new unit and would like to know what else can be done to eliminate bad odor. I am thinking about adding small chlorination device prior to hot water tank but I am afraid it can cause problem to my septic system. I also did the hot lines purge with chloride and I had no problem for about 1 month then it came back again. Not sure what can be done?
