Something is wrong in your pressure tank, possibly waterlogged and rusting.
There is a certain amount of sediment in all well water - it is coming out of the ground remember. Every well should have a sediment filter before the pressure tank.
The overburden pressure removes air and water, and therefore space, from between sediment particles.
There are no following conditions. Pressure will make loose sediment into rock, the pressure may derive from the weight of water or other rocks above the sediment.
There is often sediment because it comes out of the ground and up a steel pipe. Fit a sediment filter at the pressure tank, it's very easy.There is often sediment because it comes out of the ground and up a steel pipe. Fit a sediment filter at the pressure tank, it's very easy.
falling in water
sediment causes H2O to discolor. also sediment causes some submerged vegetation to die.

Unscrew the aerator from the end of the faucet where the water comes out and clean the screen. Sediment build up slows the flow.
You have to undo the aerator at the end of the faucet and clean the screen or plastic water saver out. It will be plugged with sand or sediment.

from the water picking up brown sediment, i.e. dirt
By the water moving on it makes it get wet and causes it to move

You use a sediment filter before the pressure tank.
Any kind of restrictive device, such as a filter, added to your water supply will reduce pressure and supply a fraction. Your filter may be clogged with sediment from the supply water and should be flushed according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Most water systems should have a cartridge filter before the water treatment system to stop the sediment from entering the treatment filter. The replacement cartridge can then be changed as needed depending on the sediment in the water. The water supply lines should not be smaller than 3/4 inch pipe. This permits more volume of water even with a lower pressure. If you are on a well you can boost up the on and off pressure in the air tank by adjusting the pressure switch connected to the well pump. The air pressure in the tank must also be adjusted to 2 pounds less pressure of the new setting at the low end. Instructions for this can be found on the internet.
