To my knowledge and inspection, the house is fully plumbed with either soldered copper or the black plastic pipe from well head to pressure tank. No old lead pipes anywhere.
Water heater drained annually at fall closing.
The sulfur smell seems to be most noticeable on the cold side at kitchen sink, outdoor sill cock, etc. etc. Hot water doesn't seem to make a difference one way or the other.
Pouring a little bleach down the well head seems to help for a period of time. Not the best long term solution.
Have been looking at a pellet chlorinator, installing a retention tank, and then a new and larger carbon filter after the retention tank as water heads to the faucets, etc.
