So I bought my house about 3 years ago, had the water tested and all that and never got around to installing what was recommended, but looking to fix that.

Old water test

Here's the initial water report, with a recommendation of adding a acid neutralizer and a water softener. There looks to be a acid neutralizer installed currently but its leaking and the old homeowner kept saying it was a filter. After that is a standard whole house filter with the blow molded cartridges. Additionally the old owner installed a 1HP 22gpm well pump, on a system with only a 20g bladder tank which causes the pump to cycle often as you would imagine. I have experienced light red staining in the toilets, dark green ring around the top toilet level in the tanks, sprinkler screens clogging with red stuff (outside spigots piped before filtration).

Looking to get a feel for what i need/should do and talked into/out of my current plans.
I'm thinking a CSV (They seem to be controversial around here) would be a good idea here considering the pump/tank setup (I would like to water my lawn and not blow the pump up), a mesh spindown filter, a acid neutralizer, and a water softener with something like the following arrangment

Idea being with the outside water piping I can maybe catch whatever was clogging the sprinkler strainers (i could also add prefilters to the hoses at the spigots if that makes more sense). If this plan seems ok I'd also like to know what size softener would be ideal, the calculator I found gave a very low grain size based on what I put in but maybe that's accurate. Thanks in advance!
