I have "city" water in the village I live it. It has always been great
water for over ten years in the last two places we have lived. (It had
better be for the $80 a month average I pay for water, fire and (mostly)
sewer service.)
In this house we bought five years ago, the PO plumbed the whole house
through the softener; not a big deal since there is also a plumbed water
filtration system for drinking.
Last month, when I wasn't home, my daughter let someone in from public
works to replace the water meter (pissed me off no end since I wanted to
get a bypass meter for outside water usage). Ever since, the water
coming out of the taps has smelled metallic to me.
I have, for now, a Richmond electric water heater that was there when we
bought the place. It has a mfg date listed as 2004 so not crazy old. I
have a new anode rod to install but did not see an easy way to install
it as I cannot see a nut to put a wrench on. I need to look online to
figure out how to replace the rod.
Any thoughts as to why I am now getting this smell? Is it as simple as
finally needing to replace the rod?
Thanks!
Tim
