Hi Joyce and Bill: I'm puzzled by the yellow residue and the bad smell. It suggests sulphur. Joyce does your water supply perhaps have sulphur in it?? Try this: Distill a gallon the normal way; rinse the containter; put the distilled water back in and distill it again. See if the yellow deposit and bad smell persist. Just an idea.
