Question from Carinika
I recently had a new hot water tank installed and every time I run the hot water whether I run it very hot or lukewarm I smell a kind of metallic burning odor in the air and also on my dishes after rinsing them in the hot water. The plumber did add some copper pipes and used solder on the joints. I’m wondering if the smell could be lead related?! The water temperature is set at factory default which is 140 degree F. Any opinions, comments and experiences would be appreciated. I suffer from MCS and am very disturbed by this. I’m concerned about showering or bathing in the water. Thank you.
