For sulfur bacteria here, they recommend a chlorinator then a charcoal 
filter. the water comes from the ground smelling like rotten eggs, and i 
think it is due to a bacteria. but the bacteria isn't toxic and the sulfur 
water doesn't cause health issues, just no one likes it. other 
recommendations were to put the water in a pitcher overnight and the smell 
would dissipate. that would only be useful for drinking water, not taking 
baths, etc. the chlorinator works on the chemistry and the charcoal removes 
the chlorine.
