Iron in the fill water and you probably added chlor right after filling. Filter the water for 24 hrs then add chlor. There is a product made for iron in the water. It is a chealating agent that keeps the iron in suspension until the filter can filter out the iron.

Have the water tested to ascertain the cause (organics, iron, etc.) If it is organic (algae, etc) you want to shock the pool with chlorine. If it is iron you want to use a chelating agent, available in your local pool store, to remove the iron from the water before you shock..

Too much iron in the water

Rust in your water is caused by iron in your water supply. You can get a water softner and use the softened water to fill your pool, or you can fill your pool with the rusty water and use a scale and metal out chemical that you could purchase at any local pool dealer. If you choose to purchase the scale and metal out I would recommend taking a sample of your water so that they can test to find out the level of iron in your water. They then could instruct you on how much of the product you should use to clear your water up.
