Time and change order they are in.

Is it a jet pump or a submersible pump?
Why were the carbon filters installed?

First, have an independent company test your water. I used these people. http://watertestinglabs.com/
Not an expert but...if you are running 3 filters in series you are wasting money! The last one is not filtering anything. Junk was trapped in the first one.
If you are running them for odor or taste, then you have a bigger problem and there is a better solution. IMO!

These were installed by Exxon years ago. 1998 ish. There was a gas station that had a gas leak but has been closed up some some time now. I was told by neighbors that they change one out a year ($500) and rotate the order. Well was tested and was all good. No traces of anything harmful.
The pump appears to be a squareD pump trol then into a 33 gallon pro flex 2 tank. I have a ph- neutralizer tank then a tank marked wm-56tcuf-32 with a dial mounted on top. Then the three carbon filters an a salt tank

My parents and I both use Caswell Testing and Pump services. I'm guessing you're in the Jacksonville area so they are close by in Jarrestville. They should be able to help you out.
So you are in Fallston/Forest Hill/Baldwin? Exxon should be taking care of them if your home was in the envelope.
I use Randy at Caswell for all of my real estate clients. Very honest and reasonable.

Or Jacksonville.
Baldwin, Exxon has money and had stopped water delivery and all testing. Basically have washed there hands clean at his point
If your water tested fine now, I am willing to bet you will be good to go. Most of the homes they put the systems in didn't even need them.

I am well versed (pun intended) in filtration and water quality and have helped multiple MDS members with issues in the past. I don't sell anything, so I have no vested interest in your test results.
I will let you know:
* What you need
* What you don't need
* What would be a good idea, but not necessary
You can use this information as you see fit when dealing with commercial well companies.
I stopped helping the MDS community after a member paid me to install something and another member started bashing me for being an "unlicensed contractor". I have decided to resume helping fellow members with substantial posts. I will no longer perform any actual work on systems.
PM me and I'll give you a hand.
