Have you tried to shock it? You may also need to test the PH level. Using well water seems like it would be very draining on your well.

Buy some metal out chemical at Wal-Mart in the chemical section. It works great for hard water.

Time. It all depends on how much chlorine was in it. If you shock a pool (high amounts of chlorine), it is ready to swim in by two days later.

How do you get rid of rust particles in your swimming pool from a heater causing cloudy yellow water?

First of all call a pool company! Are you sure that you don't have a "mustard" algae problem? The heater needs to be looked at and the only way to get rid of rust particles is to vac to waste. You need to address the real problem because you don't want to swim in the pool the way it is. A pool company will test your water at a minimal cost and advise you for free. Rust deposits from your heater are possible if your heat exchanger is old and has glass lined headers. The glass installed by the manufacturer is starting to deteriorate and it is exposing the steel underneath. The rust swells and then breaks off.
