Well water sulfur smell causes

Around the house, my well water is just fine - no sulfer smell. Over at my barn, the water coming out of the garden hose is bad enough (sulfer smell) to just about knock me out. The garden hose is kept inside for the 'car/tractor wash bay'.

The barn is fed from my house well under ground about 160' (I doubt this has anything to do with the smell, but giving as many details as possible.)

I know pex tubing can be bought with and without oxygen barriers. Could it be that well water sitting in a garden hose is reacting with the hose or something?

Thanks, Jason

Thanks.

I was suspicious about some bacteria in the water, based on some mildew near a dripping faucet. So I was already considering a UV system. I had no idea the sulfer small was a byproduct.

A bleach flush of the lines is planned next week with the installation of the UV system. My thought is, once the line are clean, and the UV system is in place - nothing should come back.

Thanks, Jason

Well water sulfur smell causes

EW, I'll let you know...

nosteiner4me - thanks. The only time I ever smell anything is out of the garden hose - after it has sit for a while. Hence, I don't think I have a huge issue at the well - at least nothing the UV system won't overcome. There's a good chance the whole issue is in the piping itself, as I did a lot of changing to the system over the past year.

I'm anticipating numerous bleach treatments to clean out the pipings.
