Iron & TDS contamination in the borewell water in Chennai, TN - How to make the water compatible for drinking and bathing purposes?

Sir,

I am R. Srinivasan from Chennai, in the process of constructing my own house at the outskirts of Chennai. The results of my bore well digged 6 months ago is as follows.

S.No.ParameterActualPermissible limit/BIS 10500 1991
1Turbidity10510
2TDS16252000
3Calcium140200
4Magnesium39 
5Total hardness as Ca CO3510600
6Chlorides4101000
7Ammoniacal Nitrogen0.56 
8Albuminold Nitrogen0.02 
9Nitrous nitrogenPresent 
10Nitric Nitrogen3.79100
11Oxygen absorbed0.75 
12Hydrogen ion concentration6.46.5-8.5
13Alkalinity to phenolphthaleinNil 
14Alkalinity to methyl orange272600
15Sulphates460400
16Phosphates0.01 
17Iron51
18Fluorides0.151.5
19Specific conductance2500 

The test report has concluded stating the water is not fit for drinking in view of high Iron, turbidity, low PH etc.

I am looking for your help on the follows:

1) Is it enough I install a iron remover alone to deal with the yellow colour of water and go ahead and use the water for regular cloth washing and bathing purpose other than drinking, if so pl adivce the best source who can help me to deal with by providing a good iron remover solution at Chennai.

2) If I go with option one above of removing iron alone, I have my own fear whether the TDS at 1625 will cause any harm to the body if we use the water for bathing especially to the hair colour, if you feel it will cause a problem then pl. advice a comprehensive solution to deal with both iron and TDS and also on the low PH.

3) What I should do as a total solution to make this water compatible for both drinking and sanitation purpose.

Thanking you,

srinivasan,
