The hot water in my LQ smells like rotten eggs. This only happens with my hot water lines. It does not happen with my cold water lines. Any idea what's causing this and how I can correct it? The water that I put into my tank is not smelly.

Check to see if your hot water heater has a anode rod. When these need to be replaced you will get the rotten egg or sulfur smell from the hot water only lines. If your hot water heater has some age on it this is very likely the cause.
