More than likely you are smelling Sulfur. Sulfur will smell on both the hot and cold water, but typically is worse in the hot water as the gas is more easily formed in hot water releasing the gas into the air faster, making the odor more noticeable. Furthermore, water heaters provide an ideal environment for sulfur-reducing bacteria to thrive, often reacting with the magnesium anode rod to produce more odor-causing gas. NOTE: Replacing the anode rod IS NOT going to completely solve this issue. If you are experiencing odor issues of any kind call us and we can help.

Hardness can be measured in grains per gallon (gpg), parts per million (ppm) and milligrams per liter (mg/L). Noteworthy and to simplify, ppm and mg/L are the same measurement and to convert them to gpg divide by 17.1
So, for example, your annual water report from your public water authority says your hardness is 215 ppm.
Divide 215 by 17.1 and your water is 12.57 grains hard
