I have well water. There is a smell of boiled eggs when I turn on the tap, but when I turn on the hot water taps, the smell is more distinct and the water spurts out black. What is the cause and the cure please I was told to use chlorine pills which I purchased and used in the well, but after one month or so of using them, things did not improve. In fact it got worse. When I shower and dry off with a white towel, my towel looks like I'd scrubbed the floor with it, it's actually black. So how clean am I? I really need some advice before I lose my mind over this water. Many thanks
