Thank you. The system is not installed yet. I am trying to arrange soon. I might just get another analysis done first. The borehole was dug over 4 years ago. The builder only ran the water recently for a bout 10 mins before taking the sample. Perhaps it needed to run for longer. The water does not smell.

Now much sulfate is there? Have you been using the water and is it OK otherwise? Maybe they are trying to sell you something that you don't need, Sulfate has a laxative effect. People acclimatize to sulfate, but visitors might not be acclimatized to it.

Sulphates SO4-- didn't smell, The smell is from Sulfides S-- as an anaerob degrade of sulphates. For Sulphate removal is a Nanofiltration good enough removes over 95% of Sulphates. You have ask the Reverse Osmosis supplier to change the RO Module to a Nano Module, needs also lower pressure around 40 to 50 psig. the concentrate you can use for toilet car washing etc. Needs a storage tank and pump and to avoid anaerobic reaction in this tank use a small air-aquarium pump with this bubble stone to avoid anaerobic water. This storage tank should be also connected to your rainfall pipes. Let's your contractor check with his experience the size of this tank.
BTW other sulotion, use your Nanofiltration only for DRINKING water the rest for dishwasher, toilet, shower, washing machine etc. etc. ea. person needs max. 5 l/day (hard work outside)
