I'm fed up. When I bought this house I had no idea what a money pit it was. I have a well. It smells and tastes like sulfur. I spent over $3000 at Culligan for a water softener and a hydrogen peroxide unit. Not only is the peroxide expensive I still smell it when I do laundry. They could never figure that out. Meanwhile you can't drink the water it tastes so bad. Then they say, oh you need an osmosis unit. Are you high? I'm a 40 yr old widow on disability. I cannot afford anymore. Isn't there another solution?

I'm sorry you've had such water trouble. Having lived in an area with a lot of sulphur in the water table, I can truly relate. The only real good way to get rid of the smell and reduce/eliminate this from your water is to run it through a charcoal or carbon filter. These are usually fairly reasonably priced. You can purchase one that can be installed on the main water line at the well or inside the house and has a cartridge that you replace when needed. This method is fairly inexpensive and can be installed by anyone that is of the mind to do it yourself or has a friend that can do such for them.
I have a charcoal system and use peroxide and it still smells what can i do to eliminate it ?
Don't fall for all these water purifier gimics . This is Fl well water. Period. I refuse to drink it too. I buy bottled water and drink ONLY that. I cook with bottled water - even pasta - I will NEVER drink Fl water. Don't waste $$ on gimmicks. DO have a charcoal filter on your ice maker - it's your only hope as we need ice. DO NOT DRINK FL WATER - PERIOD. Wash in it, wash your clothing etc - but don't get it in your body. Gals of water are only 75cents. either that - or buy a distiller where you can clean out your own water but it's time consuming and I'm too lazy anyway I buy my water. The Sulphur won't hurt you but the metals in our undergroun water will. DO NOT DRINK OR COOK WITH FL WATER!!! I can't say it often enough!! Welcome to the neighborhood, sit back, relax, and be grateful it's not S.American water where you'd be in the bathroom 24/7. Nature is perfect - but not always for human needs.
That is no 100% right, I have chlorinating unit and charcoal filter and still have smell maybe not as much as if I didn't have all that, now I added Ultraviolet light and still have smell, so there it is to your answer.

If you run water during the regeneration cycle of a Culligan Peroxide system the skunky water will go into the house plumbing instead of the sewer
Hi I just also moved to the country with well and water smells but has been tested its safe where can I purchase this filtration system
If its strong enuff a filter want do it
Well water can get sulfur in it from the surrounding and there isn't much you can do with the well itself. However, you can use a charcoal filtering system on your main water line that goes to your home. This can filter out some of the smell and could help.
If you have a fairly new Culligan unit you should contact the company that installed the unit and tell them it is not working properly.
Good luck with getting culligan to fix it. My system from them was 5000.00 and my water is horrible
Call culligan corporate and talk to them. I work for culligan and u got some crooks out there. You should be able to tweak your system to get it better
You may need a carbon filter system. Your first step is to test the water and then call a company that deals with this.
