did this help with the egg sulfer smell?

This item doesn't stop the odor. It sounds like you have a problem with hard water or a calcium buildup in the bottom of your tanks. You need to drain and flush the tank several times to remove the buildup.

Came here looking just for this reason. I have watched several YouTube videos by plumbers and a few by "This Old House" claiming if you have well water you should use aluminum instead of magnesium anode rod. The magnesium interaction with minerals in well water will cause a sulfer smell. Aluminum supposedly does not have this interaction and will not cause such a smell. The smell I have in my water only comes from the hot water so I was hoping the aluminum rod would help. Not sure if my old is magnesium or aluminum.

Yes, I have a place in Virginia and I have to change it every coupe of years! When you change it, flush your hot water heater real good too!

The anode is designed to prevent the tank from rusting inside. You need to filter the water before it gets into your tank to get the smell out.

My husband ordered this and I asked him about it. He said this works well but aluminum would help more with the sulfur smell. The reason he didn't go with the aluminum was because it isn't healthy for us.

Interesting question. We don't have any unpleasant odor with ours. Perhaps you have ferrous iron in your water. One cause of the rotten egg smell is from dissolved hydrogen sulfides in the raw water (H2S). This is often found in waters with high iron content and a low PH. and that can create an unpleasant odor. We have well water and also a water softener that removes some of the iron and minerals but we've not had a problem with odor. Good Luck.

We had a rotten egg smell in our shower and we were recommended to replace the anode rod in our water heater. We did and the smell disappeared!

Yes, I believe it did. The odor did eventually go away, I boiled lemon juice in it several times.

No, we didn't but opened it outdoors. You might try Nok-Out Odor Eliminator and/or a water sealer to help with the odor.

Yes! We used it for french toast and it worked great! Smells like real eggs. Pretty neat product. I would suggest it!

No, but I did use it for dog odor in my exercise yard and it worked for about 10 minutes.

It may help, but your problem may be more complicated. Here is a link to an article that goes into more detail:http://www.watertechonline.com/articles/replacing-anodes-getting-rid-of-odor. I recently replaced a spent anode in my hot water tank with this one, I also flushed and treated the tank with CRL. One of those things has made the rotten egg smell from my heated well water go away.

It sucks the oil up into the clay of the egg, so I'd guess you could only use one type of scent if you decided to do that. Otherwise, you'd be mixing scents.

Sorry, thought you were asking about the refrig filter and I stated I didn't know. This whole house filter works great to get rid of odors it eliminates the strong sulfur smell and taste our water has

probably -it removed the odor in our home. We did apply it a few times. May need to order 2-3 bottles.

It works but not for very long. You might consider getting cedar blocks and sanding them down so the smell is strong. They hate that smell.

Not at all! I was 5 mos pregnant when we got it and had a nose on me that would put boodhounds out of business and I did not detect any scent on it, bad or good :)

My response seems contradictory here. My husband says I can smell a flea fart in the next county. I put 2 of these in our media room, AKA land of kitty "annointments" and it did do wonders for the smell. Now, to be fair, I DID clean (of course!) but there was a lingering, shall we say, aroma. I leave my lamps on essentially 24/7 and they have never ever disappointed.

I'm not sure because I have not reached the end of the can. I can tell you that it doesn't take much to restore the smell-just a couple of squirts does it. Wish I could be of more help, but like I said, I haven't used the whole can yet.

I have been using them for maybe 7 or more years, and there is absolutely no odor. When the eggs are cooked, I always remove the egg timer prior to running cold water in the pan with the eggs. It has lasted a very long time.

It does at first. I had to let it sit out of the cover for a couple of days, and once I did that, it was fine. I can't smell anything now.
