I'm on well and I had a leak in the pipe coming into the house prior to the pressure tank. So I had a plumber in and he flushed the pipes - turned off the water into the house and had me run the tub until all the water was gone.

We also have a water softener, and he set it on bypass because I've been having pressure issues. The resin needs to be replaced. Basicaly he told me to get some water guys in to look at my water system.

Anyway, ever since he left we've had sediment in the water. I've been running the water in an attempt to flush it, but it's only getting marginally better. So my question is, where is this sediment coming from? Was this originally in my pipes and the flushing loosened all of it? Do I just need to keep running the water until it dissipates?
