Stinky water - flushing only helps for a week
Hello, we live in the country & are on a well. We do not have a softener installed but hope to one day. Problem is the hot water stinks really bad. (Cold does a little bit, but only when it's hot outside.) Issue is exponentially worse when it's hot (over 95). Hubby flushes hot water heater, but in about a week it's stinky again. Stinks up whole house. Embarrassing with company. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

This looks like a good article to help me figure this out. Thot I'd share.
