Need help with building a filtration system

OK so I need to repost my original post since I have been working crazy long hours. I am need of knowing what type of media and system I need to build I just got my test results back for $199 from wholesale water online and very happy with their help and results. Test is for 255 contaminants. See attachments.

My first posts and softener details.
"I just bought a possible greensand filter off of craigslist for $100. It is a 2005 model only used for 4 years. It is not the typical greensand filter I am looking for but I need to know what it is? It has a Fleck 2510 part #40278 control head with a 948 pentair tank 9in x 48in and I determined it holds 1.0 cu ft of media. It has inlet and outlet with a back wash only. also numbers on control head sticker 231802-005001-0002C00

1. I have high iron that softener is not removing and bad rotten egg smell, not sure if iron bateria in water. I have constant yellowish stain in toilet and rust in tank. What is the best option for my system? What should I build out of what I have?

Water Softener: It is an Ecowater system softner ESD 2502r39 i tore apart and leaned all valves and screens seems to be working. It was installed I believe in 1997 or 99"


2. So what media must I use and what should I do to clean water up. I already have pre paper filter before jet pump and RO system for under my kitchen sink that has the three filters on it. already waiting to be installed. I plan on a small kenmoore (not small, larger like whole house one but not big floor tank) carbon filter after softener. Thanks I need your expertise guys... this site is great so far has been very helpful.

And I know the GAC is what is in the tank and I plan on dumping it out.

Attachment did not make it. Maybe you could make it into a text post.

How long did it take to get your water test results?
