How would I get rid of all of the sediments from the plumbing from my
house? (yes, I'm on a well)

If I install a filter on the water supply will stop it from coming in
100%? What about the leftover sediments in the system currently?
Would shocking the well and system be enough to take care of this
issue?

If I do shock the well I intend to install a new hot water tank at the
same time and a new water pressure tank. (I'd shock then add the
filters and tanks)

When can I wash my whites again? :P


Depends on the sediment. A whole house filter, or two of them in line (10
micron followed by a 5 or 2 micron) will get most of the sediment. Rust and
iron can be very fine and still get through. Since you mention whites,
chances are, dissolved solids that a filter will not trap may be the cause
of your problem.

One way to find out is to have the water tested by a local reputable water
treatment specialist. I'd not call the Culligan man that is mainly
interested in selling you his product.

Sediment that is trapped in the piping already will eventually come out, but
is probably not a big deal if you trap the new stuff.
