Follow up to previous post asking for whole-house filter advice

Hi all,

Several weeks back I posted asking for advice on a whole-home filtration system. That post is here. 

https://www.reddit.com/r/WaterTreatment/comments/1s82x2d/comment/oddyjlt/?target_user=Intrepid_Drawing_158

A few people commented back then that I really needed a full water test before getting any useful advice, so I've done that. Those results are attached.

We don't really have any complaints about the softness of the water (extremely hard as it is) or the taste of it. We don't love having to clean the scale off of the shower heads and that sort of thing I put in my previous post. But my main concern is that we have an expensive new Navien combi boiler, and untreated well water can damage it over time. Plumbers have told me this, and I saw it with our previous boiler. We also have in-floor radiant heating, and while you can treat the water in that loop with an additive, I have to think some filtration system on the front end would be helpful for extending the life of that system too.

I'm hoping a salt-free system will do the trick, partially because the system will be installed in a crawl space, and adding salt to a tank would be difficult. And since we don't really care about the water softness, it seems like a salt-free system should be possible. 

Any recommendations would be appreciated. I've been looking at SpringWell, Halo (whom I sent the test results to, and who gave me a recommended system), and RKIN systems, but don't really know what I'm doing and am not sure I've exhausted all possibilities. Thanks for reading.
