Long story short, I have a 25 year old Culligan medallist softener that wasn't effectively doing its job. I mixed up a batch of Iron Out per the instructions, added it to the brine tank and ran a regen cycle. The next day our water smelled like eggs, 2 weeks later after at least 6 regen's it smelled the same. I spoke with the folks at Iron Out, the suggested another treatment. I followed their recommendation, 3 days and 2 regen's later it hasn't made any difference. The smell is strongest in the mornings and seems to taper off throughout the day, only to return again the next morning.
I've ordered a bag of purolite resin and plan to clean the tanks and replace the resin soon. Any other suggestions? The water seems to be a bit softer after the iron out treatments but the smell has got to go. Any help would be appreciated!
