Hi Guys,

I replaced my GAC filter 12x52, using Catalytic Carbon Jacobi.
I'm on City water. Chloramines.

Water never smelled ... now after GAC smells a little bit like sewer maybe to describe.

Any ideas ?

New carbon can have a bit of a sulfur smell for a short amount of time. Run it through a few backwashes, this will usually clear up fairly quickly.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
