I guess my though was to begin with simple chlorination. Using pellets dropped by hand, mixing granulars in a bucket, or even chlorine bleach. Observation after chlorination could determine if the treatment is a success. As far as chlorinated water, millions of people live with it in town. I don’t think that it would be a big deal. I would guess that most people living with well water have a separate supply source whether it is a small ro system or bottled water. As for the rust, I don’t believe that a filter would be needed if the bacteria were not allowed to grow.
The well owner might also find that occasional shock chlorination is sufficient to control the sulfur bacteria problem.
I would agree that people might not like a chlorinator sticking up in their yard; however maintenance and cost on one of these units might be less then on a water treatment system.
I guess my main point is, that IMO, people should start with correcting the problem at the source. This experimentation would be inexpensive. If well treatment does not work then exploring inline treatment would be the next step.
