What type of whole house water filter is best?

I have a water well. The well services my house and also a rental house next door. The water is very brown but if I put it in a vase after a day or two it clears and you can see the sediment on the bottom. This sediment is causing major plumbing problems: the toilets get full of silt and the works inside have to be replaced frequently, the screens on all of the water faucets and the shower have to be cleaned about one a week and we can only guess what is happening inside of the water heater.

What kind a water filter should I buy? I Googled it but there are so many different kinds and types that I’m really confused. I need a really big commercial kind to go on the well, that can make sure that clean water is going to both my house and to the rental house too.
The water is just light brown, a little murky looking with a slightly rust colored tone. It’s not dark brown and it’s not really gross. There is no noticeable smell. All of the sediment usually sinks to the bottom of a container in about 24 hours and leaves perfectly clear water with gritty, rusty stuff settled on the bottom.
I’m about 5 miles outside of San Antonio, Texas city limits.
