That is excellent information, but since we shocked chlorinated and
that didn't work at all...I fear we might have a much worse problem

Well, my wife and I are sick of it ! I'm going to tackle it one way or
another. Has anyone else had dealings with Iron Reducing bacteria and
how to deal with it ? And what damage it can cause ?

I have no experience with wells, but I did do some Google searches
earlier.

(Now I'm an expert.)

These bacteria form a coating. Multiple treatments
are frequently required.
In persistent cases you can have the well dosed with acid
to dissolve and kill the bacteria. You need a professional for that.
