Have you checked with any of the neighbors? Is there water smelling funny? Where I live there are 3 citys that border each other.

Thomas); Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 12:16:16 -0400; Since the PO put the softener in, he must have had a reason. I have one to remove iron/manganese. I'm guessing someone either bypassed it or it needs salt/regen. Peter T.; /html/shop-talk/2011-09/msg00038.html (8,865 bytes)

I can't see how anything in the water heater could effect the cold water. Actually, I don't think it's very likely that the ano; /html/shop-talk/2011-09/msg00040.html (10,699 bytes)

I notice it when turning it on to get hot water for a shower. I will check the cold when I get home.

7. [Shop-talk] metallic smelling water (score: 1): Author: pj_thomas at comcast.net (Peter J. Thomas); Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:12:47 -0400; But is it bypassed? That's a possibility. Maybe that the anode is gone and the meter change are a coincidence. Good check is to compare hot and cold water.

[Shop-talk] metallic smelling water (score: 1): Author: tputland at charter.net (Tim); Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2011 15:47:30 -0400 (EDT); Well, I am in southern WI and we have good "city" water in the village I live in so I doubt this is it as we were not affected at all by the tropical storms.
