What is Hydrogen Sulfide?
Known for its characteristic "rotten egg" odor.
A naturally occurring gas in groundwater, produced by sulfur-consuming bacteria.
Commonly found in low-oxygen groundwater sources.
Odor may become more noticeable when water is heated.
Creates an unpleasant smell but has minimal impact on water taste.
If untreated, can cause corrosion in metal pipes.
How Can Hydrogen Sulfide Be Treated?
Treatment options vary based on the severity of the issue.
Solutions include chemical oxidation (e.g., chlorination), oxidising filters, carbon filters, aeration, and more.
Chlorination converts hydrogen sulfide into insoluble sulfur, which can then be filtered out, though it requires regular maintenance.
Carbon filtration combined with oxidation processes.
Oxidising filters regenerated with potassium permanganate, which must be handled with strict safety protocols.
Aeration, by injecting air into the water supply, can oxidise hydrogen sulfide gas.
