You have 3 options:
1. You can remove the iron directly from the fill water, using a "greensand" filter or various types of water softeners, filled with properly selected ion exchange resins. This approach only works with iron that is still soluble. You cannot use this method with iron that is ALREADY orange and cloudy in the water.
2. You can set up a small Intex type pool, to pre-treat the water, and allow the iron to settle, before pumping iron-free water into the pool.
3. You can attempt to manage the iron AFTER it goes into the your pool.
None of these approaches are effortless. The first one is likely to give the best results, but ONLY if you install a large system, and meticulously follow the maintenance requirements to maintain the ion-exchange media.
The 2nd approach is probably the cheapest, requiring a $400 Intex pool and maybe $100 for a transfer pump, piping, and hoses.
The 3rd approach is, of course, what's typically done, and usually leads to stains, since it's difficult to actually REMOVE the iron from the pool, once it's in the pool. You can re-dissolve it, lifting the stains, but that simply MOVES the iron from the stains, back into the pool water.
