Do you have a Natural Gas water heater? If so, call the Natural Gas Company-you have a gas leak.
If you have well water, it's likely caused from sulphur. You probably would need a UV filter installed
Hi; Had this problem a year ago. Your water has lime in it and your hot water tank is full of lime built up inside. Time for a NEW hot water tank before it blows.. I hated that smell , your dish cloth , clothes after washing a shower or bath makes you feel like your not clean at all . Good Luck ..
