Hello jtking
Is the water well perhaps polluted ? Rrotten egg smell points at hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas. Often caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria being present.
Have a look at this website with suggestions on how to solve that problem.
Some Ideas here:
sulphur smell in well - Google Search
We have a lot of wells down here in Florida with " Sulphur Water". We aerate our water,(see image) to remove the gas. This simply means that the watrer is pumped, under pressure, through spray heads into a holding tank and then pumped back into the house from the tank. This make your stinky water fit to drink. Check out Aeration Tanks at; Action Manufacturing - SW Florida's leading manufacturer of water conditioning, water filtration, and water treatment systems
Good luck, Tom
