    i clean out my sinks by running hot water in them, then add baking soda and let sit for 20 minutes or so. After that I pour vinegar into the drains and that gets rid of any smells.

    Hi! First I would have the water tested. If it is only a high mineral content, you may need a different filter.

    I think the RV Resort needs to do this. Do you live in Florida where the resorts have wells? Aquifers have many minerals but need special filters.

    I have hard water that smells like sulfur.

    I have a softener and whole house carbon filter. I have an additional carbon filter in the kitchen. The kitchen tap is the only faucet that has no sulfer smell.

    It takes a lot of conditioning to remove the odor from drinking water.
