[C320-list] Water heater smell

[hcreech at comcast.net]

Yes, had the same issue. There is an RV product I started using last year, I am away so will have to do from memory, it had Spring in the name, quite expensive but did the trick. Let me add that this year after the treatment the smell returned. I them emptied both tanks and the water heater, refilled and added 1/2 cup of regular bleach to each tank, ran all the water faucets for a few minutes each, don't forget the stern shower, then left the tanks for 48 hours because I could not return until then. Flushed both tanks, refilled and treated with the "spring" RV solution, that was over two months ago, both tanks continue to remain sweet.

Last winter I had winterized the water system with antifreeze and this spring after eliminating the antifreeze through a couple of flushes I realized a very disgusting smell. I used vinegar and a small touch of bleach and still the smell, a rotten egg smell. Is there anything anyone can recommend besides bleach.
