Hi folks,

Was hoping you could shed some light on this problem so I can work out how to solve it.

My downstairs kitchen sink emits the rotten egg smell (which I've googled and learnt is sulphur deposits) when the upstairs bathroom sink is running hot water!

I've googled this problem but all the answers seem to be specific to a particular sink. I can't find a similar one to this where the upstairs sink is causing the downstairs sink to smell!

The smell isn't emitted when the shower in the bathroom is being used, and it's also not emitted when I actually use the kitchen sink. It seems solely to be when the bathroom sink is in use.

Any ideas?

Thanks
