UPDATE: Thanks everyone - before starting our 5 weeks (split between summer & fall) this year I ordered a few anode rods and installed one on my first trip up.

The Frau had a copy of the old well test report - all within range.

We think some of the smell was from the older corroded anode - it was almost eaten completely away - but some of the smell was also from the new well pump we installed. The well company said that they occasionally get some complaints about a weird smell after a new install because the PVC pipe weld has some chemicals that need to be washed out with a good long run...we did that and replaced the anode...GREAT tasting water!

Thanks SO much for the advice and items to check - just wanted to update everyone and thank you all again!
