Strange Hot Water Smell

I have an oil burner with a hot water tank. My hot water is getting a strange smell, almost like play dough type of smell, hard to discribe. The hot water tank is about 6 years old. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I have hard water and just got a water softner installed yesterday.

Thanks
