OK, so from the other thread, you stated you only really need around 500 liters per week from this salty well. This brings the scale WAY down on the project, into the possibly affordable range.

However, not knowing the specific properties of your well water, it is very difficult to recommend specific treatment options. Since you have high TDS (salty) water, you will definitely need a reverse osmosis stage in your system. RO systems are designed to cope with a certain maximum concentration, so the higher TDS, the more rugged the RO stage will need to be. You also have iron and some amount of ore (Ca,Mg,Mn) in your well water. Knowing how much is there will tell you the best way to get rid of it.
