An apparatus and method of ridding objectionable hydrogen sulfide gases from well water before pumping the water from the well is provided, wherein the water at the water table level in the well is aerated, causing turbulence in the well water, and facilitating the escape of hydrogen sulfide gases to the atmosphere. The apparatus (10) for ridding hydrogen sulfide gases from well water comprises means (16) for pumping well water (19) under pressure to a water delivery system of an edifice (30, 33), additional means (38) associated with the pumping means (16) for delivering a relatively small portion of the well water under pressure to the well water (19) in the well (12) to cause turbulence in the water to facilitate the escape of hydrogen sulfide gases from the well water, and further means (13) to vent the freed hydrogen sulfide gases to the atmosphere. The process for carrying out the invention comprises the steps of: pumping water under pressure from a well to a water delivery system, delivering a relatively small portion of water under pressure to the surface of the water in the well, causing turbulence in the well water to facilitate release of hydrogen sulfide gases from the well water, and venting the released hydrogen sulfide gases to the atmosphere.
