Thank you for posting this. Very well done. We just bought our first home with a well. I don't think the water from the well stinks (coming from the well) - but the pipes in the house is causing the water to stink (rotten egg). I am hoping this process will clean out the stink within the house. It is snowing here in Michigan - so I will have to wait till the weather clears up to do this. When I do I will try and remember to repost the results.
One thing I noticed was that the pressure tank will not get any chlorinated water on the inside and bacteria can hide there and spread throughout the system later. The way that I've found to get around this is after you've recirculated the chorine in the well for the 15 minutes, then secure power to the pump with the recirculation isolation valve still open.
(Continued): This will empty the pressure tank. Once the pressure tank is empty, restore power to the pump. This will recharge the pressure tank. I repeated this 5 times.
