If the smell only starts when you turn on the water it could be coming from the water sourcce, especially if it is a well. Our well puts out a sulfur (rotten egg) smell once in a while. Its better after shock treatment of well with chlorine but still smell it now and then. It seems to be caused by hydrogen sulfide gas produced by bacteria that live in the water system. We removed the anodes in our hot water heater too which has helped as the bacteria like to live on these but it voids your warranty so make sure you check with professional first.

This is used to breakdown septic waste and since you just pumped your system I don't think that this will help with your problem. It sounds like you are having issues with sewer (septic) gases that can be caused by plumbing issues such as a damaged trap, plugged vent or a damaged drain line. I would call the septic company that did the pumping or a plumber to see what they say.

I haven't experienced any smell coming back into the house. I was raised with a septic system & now have one and my dad always used Green Pig so I have also. It's worth it to try green pig to see if the smell goes away.

I seem to recall that the filter might need to be cleaned. I don't handle this, my roommate does, But I do notice it it smells from time to time. Run it for a while and check it later.

I did notice the smell but mine wasn't what I would call strong. And it did air out. Haven't noticed since the first day. Hope this helps.

Ours smelled TERRIBLE. It was a very moldy smell. There was no wet film though. We've had ours for a little over 2 months. We thought airing it out would help. While the odor is not as noticeable as it was originally(you could smell it upon entering the room!), it's still there. I smell it when I sit on it, and the smell transfers to items touching it (blankets, clothes, etc). Yuck!

Yes it does at times. It goes away as it sucks dirty air and produce clean one. It's like a new car... That smell goes away. It sucked the contamination from my neighbors renovation... What I do is let it run high for few days then run it low.

We have this happen as well, and even more often if we take back-to-back showers. It's easily fixed (for us, at least) by taking that paper filter out, giving it a good rinse and then putting it back in. It's worked every time for us.

No. If it smells , it's bad. I would suggest that you return it for a replacement. Hope this helps, Maria

Works well. If you still notice a smell you can try a different cleaner. Like vinegar in just the hot water if you still smell 'dog'. :-) Seems like it takes the smell out of ours - we're a two dog family:-)

Honestly, the smell is strong and not pleasant. We put the traps under the sinks and behind the toilets. When the smell became very strong a couple hours later, we assumed it would go away in a day or two (as indicated in another response). However, the smell appears to have gotten stronger. I could smell it from rooms away. I cannot verify if these traps are effective, because we threw them away after getting headaches and sleepless nights due to the smell.

Mine came with the horrible smell as well. I put it outside to air out for a few days and I put it next to a bag of baking soda to absorb the odor too. After a few months, I've noticed that the smell is no longer present.

If by "get rid of", you mean add its bleach like odor to the smell of sweat and B.O... Honestly, I stopped spraying it because it was so disgusting to me. Maybe someone else who has used it for the purpose you are describing should jump in.

I don't think it smells too bad its kind of a clinical smell, you will get used to it also It will wash away the effectiveness if you use another shampoo

Probably, it could not hurt to get rid of the smell, one in each corner of the room, hope this helps, good luck.

I've had mine since 2009, and it has never smelled. There are some tub cleaning products you can use, and I have heard that running it on sanitize with some electric dishwasher detergent works as well. Might want to try running it empty with a couple of cups of baking soda on the sanitize cycle and see. That is good practice for all washers annually just to clean the accumulations on the outside of the tub.

I don't believe it will make the smell disappear. It will cover it up for a while.

If you use conditioner afterwards, that would likely cover up the smell. Once the hair is dry, the smell isn't very strong, and would only be noticeable if someone was actually "smelling" your hair. My husband uses this shampoo only (no conditioner at all) and I never notice his hair having any type of smell unless we happen to be laying right next to each other and I actually sniff his hair :) And even then, the smell is much milder than you would expect considering how strong it is in the shower!

I left it outside and open for about 3 days. I had the same problem with the smell but I just started using it and after the first day at the beach the smell was gone. Don't ask me why.
