    Few things:

    First off find out the age of the well and the pipes.

    The water is very soft and acidic (low pH). This means that if the pipes/well casing are slowly being disolved. That’s likely why the iron is high. If the pipes contain lead anywhere, they are also dissolving the lead.

    Only real solution = all new well and 100% plumbing replacement.

    If the system is not that old and the groundwater is contaminated , a filtration system is required. Look for a whole house filtration system.

    Either way it’s an expensive fix. I would get some experts out to diagnose the issue. Then require the seller to pay for the necessary fixes as a contigency on your offer.
