My well water filtration system, prior to house plumbing entry, runs like
this in series. Sediment filter, air injection bottle, carbon filter.
Change the sediment filter once a month, and the carbon filter every 3
months. Bacteria that come from deep wells are normally anaerobic, not
aerobic in nature. The odor, most likely, is hydrogen sulfide gas made by
such bacteria.

My well water has tested clean, I'd guess mostly because it's drilled
thru almost solid rock. That unfortunately means it's also some of
the hardest water the testers have seen.

Are there any filters effective for hardness, other than a Na or Ka
based softener?
