3. To detect the water's odor, smell it.



Smell the water now. If the water smells like bleach, it's probably because chlorine has been added to make it safe. Although it's not dangerous, it's a good idea to acquire a filter to get rid of the odor. Scents that are earthy or musky suggest that there is a decomposing organic material in the water or sewer.
It indicates that bacteria are growing in the water if the water smells like rotten eggs. After a few minutes, let the water sit in the glass and smell it once more. The bacteria is inside the drain and not in the water if it doesn't smell like rotten eggs.
