Seasonal hydrogen sulfide in well water causes odor in showers, and current carbon filter solution drastically reduces water flow rate.

Existing carbon canister filters reduce flow too much, and the neighbor's high-flow solution is not described or available commercially.

Workarounds Described

  • Uses carbon canister filter that reduces flow to 0.8 gpm
  • Neighbor uses an unspecified nozzle outlet system

Implied Software Gaps

  • Whole-house high-flow carbon filter designed for hydrogen sulfide removal without flow reduction
App Concept

FlowSafe Hydrogen Sulfide Filter

A whole-house carbon filtration system specifically designed to remove hydrogen sulfide without sacrificing water pressure. Uses a high-flow catalytic carbon media and a bypass-free design to maintain full household flow even during peak usage.

Key Features
  • High-flow catalytic carbon media rated for 15+ gpm
  • Easy bypass for filter changes without shutting off water
  • Smart pressure monitor alerting when flow drops 20%
  • Annual subscription for replacement carbon cartridges
Target Users: Homeowners with private well water experiencing seasonal sulfur odor or low-flow issues with standard carbon filters.
Revenue Model: $199 upfront for the base unit, plus $89/year for carbon cartridge replacement subscription
