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.

Science Project- Water Filteration Presentation?

Assigned on the rubric:
For the water systems unit, you will construct your own water filter to present to the class. How you build it, and what it looks like is completely up to you. After constructing you filter, you will present it to the class and explain how it works. In your presentation you will include the following information; the materials you used, why you used them, how you assembled them, and why you decided to build the filter the way you did.
The dirtiest, and most disgusting water will be put through your filter. Will the water get cleaned?
Your filter must meet the following criteria; IT MUST BE ABLE TO ACCOMODATE BETWEEN 250-500mL OF WATER. Suggested shells for your filter will be a water/plastic bottle. Your filter will be judged on the clarity of the water that comes out. (no industrial made products. you can cut up sponges or other materials, but can’t just put materials in without fixing it in a way yourself..if that makes sense)
Umm, i didn’t have enough space to write this:
please suggest any materials, or anything for my presentation, or how to make my filter…i want my filtered water to come out pretty clean. Please
thank you!

Magnum filters is it Marine or Freshwater?

I got a fish tank from someone on craigslist and I’m not familar with this kind of pump, I’m used to the Biowheel style, I pretty sure it’s a fresh water filter, but I thought I read somewhere online that it can be used for Marine tanks too, I was wondering if any of you have this pump and can tell me what to look for in the pump to determine if it was used as a freshwater or marine pump…. ( the previous owner recieved it from a friend and didn’t know)….
