Sulfur smell in Shower Faucet ?

[biznitch15]

Hello, I bought my house (new) about a year ago and my Master bathroom has had a sulfuric smell. I originally tought it was the whole house but it's really just in the shower. What can i do to get rid of it? I have researched this before but the only conclusion was that sulfuric water would affect the whole house and not only one faucet, it could be that it's in all faucets but mostly noticeable in my master Bath. Any thought or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Take the shower head off and let it sit in white vineager for a night.


Reinstall and see if that's the problem.


If not, it's the drain that's dirty from the opening to-the-water-sitting-in-the-trap.

No, City Water.

Usually, you don't have a big problem with city water, but it does depend on where you live. Sometimes, the anode rod in the water heater reacts with local water and produces some smells. Check with the water company to see if this is a known situation on some water heaters in your area. Depending on the age, they are farily inexpensive and easy to replace with a different type.
