What you need to do is contact a WQA certified water specialist in your area to analize your water. If you contact www.wqa.org you can find a specialist in your area and have them check it out. Normally there is no charge for testing your water. Then after you have the problem diagnosed you can choose the best fix.  This certainly could be iron in your well water, but testing is the best route to take for personal safety and well-being.
