    you must first oxidize the hydrogen sulfide. chlorine is the best method using chlorox and a chem-feed pump. this makes the gas into solid particles of sulfer oxides that can then be filtered out with a back-washing carbon filter. if dosed properly you should get 6-12 months on your carbon. under certain curcumstances you can remove this poison, flamable and corrosive gas with KDF.
