I haven't noticed any sulfur smell either in Hadley or in new house.

Pooh warned of orange mold in shower and Pooh is a meticulously good housekeeper. Orange mold is a new one for me, but all kinds of molds can grow in showers here simply because of the high humidity and the darkness. I don't think it has anything to do with water quality. More the surface and the circumstances. Those with windows in showers are better off. And with fans in showers too.

A weekly bleaching is good to deter mold in showers but sometimes straight bleach will break down the grout. Some will aim a portable fan toward the shower after using it and if you have a door on shower, leave it open to dry as well as it can.

We are in the semi tropics here, well maybe not technically, but you get what I mean.

Hi Gracie- since we put in the water softener/water filter we have not had any orange moldy stuff....
