Well Water Problems: Treating for Bacteria and Iron

Question – I have a new well that does 15 gallons per minute.  I have 2.4 PPM of iron, no manganese, pH is 7.4. I suspect the water has iron bacteria as my neighbors have that problem, and there is a ‘well water smell’. I suspect hydrogen sulfide ‘rotten-egg odor” in the water.  What you would you recommend?

Your Well Is Pumping Sand.. What To Do

My well has recently started to pump small amounts of sand. It is very annoying and clogs up my fixtures.  I am going to get a filter for it, but I am curious as to what causes this?  I don't have any problems with water, I think there is a lot of water in the well and don't run out of water.
