My .02 worth. The bad water smell comes from usually, well water. Rarely will you get this smell from city water. If you are at a campground with well water and leave, go home, do not empty the HW heater, and it sits for weeks, then you are going to get the smell. When this happens, the easy way to clean it up is to, first, empty the HW heater, put plug back in, pour some bleach down your garden hose, connect back to city water hook-up, go inside, run each faucet until you smell bleach and turn them off. Let this sit for about an hour or so and then run all faucets for about two to three minutes each. Don't forget to run the hot water side. This will clear the smell and clean the HW heater as well. Again, just my hillbilly way of cleaning up the smell. I should mention, this is done because I rarely use my pump. I am always on city water. If you use your pump, then some bleach goes into the fresh water tank and the process is done with your pump. SKIDAWG
