How would I get rid of all of the sediments from the plumbing from my house?

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?

Anything _in_ the current system would have to be flushed to remove it.
_NO_ filter is 100%, but you can go to 10 micron, or even 5. Depends on
what the sediment is as to how fine it might actually be.
There should, of course, be a sand filter on the foot of the well. Is
this a new problem or existing? Jet or submergible pump? Too many
other unknowns.
"Shocking" a well will make no difference at all on sediment.

It's an existing problem. I assumed that 100% would be impossible.
There is a pump inside the house but wires going into the well so I
assume there is _also_ a submergible pump. (Is that even possible?)
How do you 'flush' the system? Just running the water constantly for a
day? What is the maintenance on a sand filter?
