Help selecting water treatment system

[jmjohn07]

We are a family of 4 in a 2.5 bathroom house and recently drilled a new well that produces around 15 GPM. We have done a lot of research and contacted a few local installers but are more confused now than before - can someone help us make a decision on what system we should go with?

I tested the water and here are the results:

• Total Dissolved Solids: 310 mg/L
• Total Hardness (CaCO3): 110 mg/L
• pH (Std. units) : 7.3
• Specific Conductance: 530 µmhos/cm
• Nitrate as N: < 0.40 mg/L
• Arsenic: 11 µg/L
• Iron: 120 µg/L
• Manganese: 460 µg/L
• Total Coliform: > 2419.6
• E. Coli: Absent

We are mostly concerned about the levels of arsenic, manganese and bacteria. Since I did the test we shocked the well which will hopefully take care of the total coliform but I need to wait a few weeks to retest it. We have young children so regardless we would like to put something in place to remove any bacteria if it comes back in the future.

We contacted a few local companies and online dealers and each of them suggested slightly different things. Below are the solutions they suggested - what would you recommend given our water analysis? Thanks!
