[QUOTE="FRISKY, post: 2927374, member: 35298"] A sulfur smell is very common in Oklahoma well water. There are several ways to get rid of it such as using an old style, no bladder pressure tank, a charcoal or green sand filter, or adding bleach to the water. The non-bladder pressure tank is probably the cheapest, but it is more work because you need to make sure the tank doesn't get waterlogged. I drain and put about 28psi of air pressure in our 82-gallon, non-bladder tank every month or so. You don't have to add air pressure before you turn the pump on and fill the tank, but doing it that way will make the system a lot more efficient. I also bleach our well every couple months and have the water tested every couple years. [/QUOTE]
