Blonde and Left Handed Needs Help/Advice

[Texas Birddog]

I live in North Texas, I have a private water well for household use and irrigation of about 2 Acres and no date on drilling or depth (previous owner deceased) of well. The water treatment sales people are sometimes not knowledgeable. I have talked to quite a few (about 7) and there first response is I need a water softener and they have not even looked at the test results. And if that is what I need so be it. I do have an “Iron Filtration System” pre pressure tank (was with the place when I bought it).

I am trying to figure out what type of device, filter, or system I need. My objectives is to have clean healthy water for household use and good water for gardening. From my nonprofessional view, I know pH and/or sodium is one of or my only problem (form a gardening standpoint).

Here are the results from two different test:


Sodium 240 mg/L
Alkalinity as CaCO3 350 ml/L
Bicarbonate Alkalinity as CaCO3 260 mg/L
Carbonate Alkalinity as CaCO3 90 mg/L
Hydroxide Alkalinity as CaCO3 ND
Phenolphthalein Alkalinity as
CaCO3 45 mg/L
Total Dissolved Solids 500 mg/L
Chloride 12 mg/L
pH 9.05 pH Units

Another test:

Alkalinity (Phenol) 10 mg/L
Alkalinity (Total) 310 mg/L
Bicarbonate 310 mg/L
Calcium 3.2 mg/L
Carbonate 20 mg/L
Chloride 5 mg/L
Copper 0.03 mg/L
Fluoride 0.11 mg/L
Hardness 8 mg/L
Iron 0.02 mg/L
Lead less than 2 mg/L
Magnesium 1.16 mg/L
Nitrate 0.3 mg/L
pH 9.018
Sodium 175 mg/L
Sulfate 54 mg/L
Total Solids 731 mg/L

Any input, suggestions, advice on what to do, equipment or brand of equipment to look at would be MUCH appreciated. I am pulling what hair I have left out trying to figure out what to do. I do not want to say money is no object but I will spend what is necessary if it will fix the problem. I do plan to live here forever. Therefore, I want to keep in mind maintaince and repairs.

Do you have any filtration already in place?

Were the water test samples taken before any filtration?

Thanks!

No current filtration other than the Iron thing. Both test taken by 2 different labs with no filtration.
