I have two heads sinks an a galley sink. Only one head sink gives off a sulphur odor at the outset. If each sink has it's own line, I would understand.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Are you talking about the water from the sink's faucet(s) smelling, or odor from the sink's drain? You've got me a little confused...
 
The odor is coming from the faucet after about 10 10 seconds of running and then the odor disappears
after another 10 seconds.
Thanks for your interest Vic.
 
Flush some vinegar through your water system and things will be sweet again. But do not ingest the water until all of the vinegar is gone!
 
Sounds like something is "growing" in the plumbing that leads to that faucet (algae, etc.). The "rotten egg" smell usually comes from decomposing vegetable matter.

While vinegar should help, bleach might be the better way to go - it'll kill anything that might be growing in there. Same thing though, be sure to get it all out of the water system before drinking any of the water. A small amount of bleach likely won't kill you, but it can wreak havoc with your digestive system - and give the head a major workout...
 
Thanks a bunch for the feedback. Will give it a go and let you know.
 
I had a plan. In order- Vinegar, Javex, Quaternary Ammonium Chloride,
The vinegar worked. Not as toxic as the other two.
Left it overnite and drained sweet.
Thanks a bunch guys.
