Need tips to remove dissolved iron from borewell water for drinking purposes

Hello,

Our borewell water has been detected with dissloved iron. Water analsyis is as follows:

pH  7.1

TDS  91ppm

Hardness  32ppm

Alkalinity  58ppm

Chloride  11ppm

Sulphate  8ppm

Calcium  6.4ppm

Megnesium  3.9ppm

Iron  2.5ppm

We have tried birm filtration, aeration, chlorination and sand filtration but have failed. Inspite of using all these methods we still have around 1ppm iron at the outlet. Could anybody advice us on a suitable remedy?
