Thusly "NetMax" Spake Unto All:

Discounting their hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, chlorine,
ozone and bleach treatments, they talk about aeration, and make mention
of an iron reducing valve having variable effectiveness (improves as
the
water is more acidic).

Yeah, degassing is more effective at lower pH's. However hydrogen
peroxide could help with the smell. I presume you know about devices
like this?:

No I wasn't. Interesting device. The odour is not too strong. I don't
notice it in the shower, only when I'm using raw well water, and even
then it's not strong, just enough to cause some concern for the fish when
I get up to 20% water changes.

;~). fwiw, I'll take your advice if the exchange is fruitless, but
regardless of the outcome, it was worth asking them to stop... the
cause
justifies the effort, eh?

Just be careful. I know from personal experience that guys like these
can cause real-world effects.

If you can, email me off line with some real-world effects that I might
want to be aware of, but from the cursing I see going back and forth, my
questions to them seemed pretty tame. Thanks for the concern (to
everyone).
