hi all you good peopleI have kitchen sink ,bathroom sink and sink in the bedroom. The sink in the bedroom has very bad smell in the water and no other place in the motor home is the water badHow can this be. It's a closed system. Any ideas on thisthank youBob

It's possible that you have a localized fungus or bacteria issue in the supply piping. You could try sanitizing the supply lines with some bleach to see if it eliminates the odor.

Drain and flush the water heater. Replace the anode rod if there is one. Then sanitize with bleach. Retest making sure that the odor you smell is coming from the water, not from the nearby drain system.

Ok guys. Thank you. What you say makes sense. I will do all of that stuff. We have determined that it is the water. How much bleach should I use. Couldn't I use my injection system for winterizing my rig for the sanitizing.

You could, but best to use the fresh water tank, so entire system is sanitized.About 1/4 cup of bleach for each 15 gals of water.Jerry

There a lots of threads on how to sanitize your system - use the forum search feature. Many of us sanitize our system each year when we get the rig ready for camping season.
