I bought one of these a month ago and I noticed every time I turn it on in the shower it has a strange almost musty smell to the water, any ideas?

Mine doesn't work. Power is not sufficient to water pick your mouth. Try smelling water from shower in a glass. If it is the device, I would return it. Mine doesn't smell. Melissa

Possibly your shower head simply needs to be cleaned. Trying soaking it in very hot water and some bleach but rinse it thoroughly. Or use some baking soda, make a paste with the baking soda and water and scrub the shower head with it using a soft brush. Such as a toothbrush. Most shower heads simply screw off easily. Hope it works :) I love my flosser

If you don't use it often it probably gets a little build up inside. I never had an issue with mine, I use mot days.

Mine didn't smell like any of the odors you mentioned when I got it. It still doesn't smell like that today, after 1 year of use. I occasionally air it out - without dirty clothes in it. The only issue I've ever had to deal with was I put damp towels in it and forgot. So the bottom got moldy. I just sprayed the moldy part with hot water, scrubbed it with a tiny squirt of laundry soap, wiped it down and let it dry. It's good as new. I don't know why yours has that smell.

It was awhile after installing mine that I had the burning smell and finally found that the light was degrading the plastic water tray for the A/C's condenser coil. The smell went away a couple months after un-plugging it. I moved it to a main duct away from the furnace as the light is small, but very powerful and remember NOT to look at the blue light!

It's normal for it to smell a bit burnt and I actually noticed it more when I use it on wet hair. The temp drops a few times after so often but it doesn't take long for it to come back to the temp that you set it for.

It could be defective. Had mine for some time now and it still looks brand new. We have hard water and I make sure it's clean and dried after each use.

YES! I just unplugged mine because I had been smelling it for days now. I had it for about two weeks and didn't notice it but now I have smelled it for a few days. I woke up from a nap and unplugged it. The smell seems stronger. It really scared me, so Im researching to see if anyone else had this problem. My Grandkids kept smelling something weird in the house too. I will be returning mine tomorrow. I see on the reviews there have been many that have had this problem. I hate that I have to return it. I was really enjoying the coffee it makes.

I have two and have not had that problem, but was wondering if there's a way to get replacements. Mine smells like coffee, which is fine when I am drinking coffee, but not so great with water.

I also have this problem and I have two of these machines. It is horrible, I washed it and replaced the water and a few hours later the same smell and metallic taste, Im sick about it. I have been using this for my newborn for 2 months!! It is either the steel plate at the bottom or its the plastic, either way, its awful! I called the company and they said wash it out with vinegar, still doesn't work.

That is odd. Sometimes I get a gurgling sound but that is it. Should be silent. Remember to run filtered water through it. Might want to hit up seller.

I purchased mine so long ago that I don't recall any specific smells other than getting used to the ions. That may be what you smell. It fades over time. Also be sure that you've removed any plastic on the filters.

I say send it back and request an exchange. Mine just had a new smell and was ok to use immediately.

I noticed a faint smell when I first set mine a fairly high setting. It went away. I'm not expert but there might be some dust or something. When I first turn on a baseboard heater after months of not using one there can be a temporary faint smell.

odor ... ummm mine has no odor what so ever perhaps you should check the package and see if it got wet or something

I have the same problem...I have only been using mine for 5 months and it stinks to high heaven!!!!

I agree if you did everything like the directions told you, then you would smell citronella it has a good distinct smell. Return it and get a new one sounds like this one isn't working properly.

We only recently began using our Shower panel and we've also heard a noise coming from the unit. I can't say whether or it's the temperature displaycausing this noise. The temperature display runs off of hydrostatic pressure and it could be that mechanism. Who knows - the noise isn't all that badhowever the overall jury is still out.

So I just got one this week and mine had a very strong smell, so much so that it's in another room hoping to get rid of it... It has the rubber smell that the floor of a gym has which makes me think it's not going to go away. Not sure if I want to wait it out or return it at this point.
