Both wells have acidic water that should be treated.
IMO the best way to do that is with a backwashed acid neutralizing filter. They use a sacrificial mineral that adds hardness to the water.
You don't want to treat irrigation water because the equipment would have to be very large depending on how many gpm and total gallons used. But with your iron content you can;'t use the water without rust stains all over everything.
BTW, labs sell water tests, so the idea that a water treatment dealer you call to come out and look at your water quality problems that you already are aware of or wouldn't be calling him out, he has no need to lie to you. AND, if he proposes equipment and you then buy equipment from him and it does not work, he'll probably make it right on his own or, you can sue him. What is your recourse with a lab that lies or otherwise screws up your analysis? You did pay them before they did anything buy say Hi, right?
And how would you know things were screwed up unless someone, like the water treatment guy (that really should do his own testing instead of relying on a lab's young couldn't care less about accuracy trainees), tested the same water? And as we see here, there is a huge unexplained difference in your iron content.
So what are you going to do now? Which result do I use to advise you about? My advice, sort it out and post the new data.
