Sediment in Freshwater System - Need Help!

Grit Dog: sorry my post was confusing.
Yes, there had never been any discoloration in the water from the fresh water tank until I filled it this last time in a state park in Maine. I could not detect any discoloration in the water as I was filling the tank. The water was flowing and it looked clear.
I drained the tank as soon as I noticed the discoloration. I tried flushing it once (refilling with what I knew to be clean water and draining again) but the sediment or iron was clearly still sitting in the bottom of the tank. So I’ve now emptied it and refilled it twice more and it’s better, but still some iron in there I need to get out.
