What is that horrible, rotten egg smell? It’s sulfur…and you don’t need to live with it!

Residents of Northwest Indiana, particularly around Valparaiso, Hebron, Hobart, St. John, Lowell, Crown Point, Demotte, Cedar Lake and Wheatfield have experienced it, smelled and often accepted it as a way of life… but it does not have to be.

Hydrogen sulfide gas or sulfur in water usually smells like rotten eggs and can be found in underground aquifers throughout Northwest Indiana. Aside from the terrible odor, the dissolved gas can also cause cloudiness and your pipes to hammer and spit gas when you open your faucets. These gases can also be corrosive to plumbing systems, causing wear on valves, seats and washers and often leaving unsightly greasy black residue.

Since the 1960’s, Miracle | EcoWater Systems has been dedicated to resolving the most stubborn hydrogen sulfide / sulfur gas water problems throughout Valparaiso, Hebron, Hobart, St. John, Lowell, Crown Point, Demotte, Cedar Lake and Wheatfield.

Catalytic Carbon and Hydrogen Peroxide, The Miracle | EcoWater Systems solutions.

Although a rotten egg odor is occasionally only present in hot water, a problem that can be easily addressed by servicing your water heater, when present in cold water, an actual chemical test is required to identify the parts per million of sulfur gas so as to determine the type of water treatment necessary for its elimination.  In less severe cases a cartridge filter or backwashing carbon filter will solve the problem, however stronger concentrations may require oxidation with an oxidizing filter.  In the instance of sulfur-reducing bacteria, chemical injection, with Hydrogen Peroxide is the best solution and Miracle | EcoWater Systems method of choice.
