The rotten egg smell is sulfur...
The reason why cold water may smell like sulfur is due to the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas, which can be produced by certain types of bacteria in water sources. This gas has a distinct rotten egg smell, which can be detected in water when it is released.
I was extremely thirsty, but there was only a bottle of putrid water in the cell. The basement was dark and cold, and there was a putrid smell, as if something had gone rotten in there.
Much of the time it is because of well water and the "hard" qualities of well water such as rust / lime etc... Sometimes turning on the hot water first and letting it run through pipes then turning it off and turning the cold water on helps. If that doesn't work, you may need to clean or replace the pipes, depending on how old they are.
The smell of bleach in cold tap water could be due to increased levels of chlorine used in the water treatment process to disinfect the water. This heightened chlorine smell might be more noticeable in the cold water because colder temperatures can enhance the scent of chlorine. If the smell persists, it's best to contact your local water utility to investigate further.
Is there a color to the water as well as a smell? Is it a sulfur smell like rotten eggs? Its possible you have an OLD corroded pipe that has built up a large ammount of sediment and needs cleaned or flushed somehow. I know I have old pipes and sometimes get greenish funky water out of them because of sediment flaking off, it usually goes away. If its really foul and constant, call a plumber!
Make sure it is full of coolant. There probably is a small leak causing the smell. Check it cold as sometimes it leaks cold but not hot.
No, it sometimes live in cold water.
polyester sometimes shrinks in warm water!
-when you get a common cold you get congested wich covers the sinuns with a mucus substance and that is what takes away some ability of smell and sometimes even taste. -The common cold is fought off by your immune system, the reason your nose is unable to smell is due to the fact that mucus is stopping the flow so that no bacterial infestations can enter through the nasal passages, and as such they are unable to smell.
It is probably sewer gas or something coming up from the drain.
Cold water can sometimes trigger a cough reflex in some people, but it does not directly cause coughing.
