This is water CHEMISTRY, so there could be multiple reasons. For starters, it could be iron or copper present in the water, unfiltered particulates, or a reaction between the high chlorine and said metals. The first step is to balance your water: get the pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness to correct levels (7.4; 100 ppm; 240 ppm, respectively) - in that order. Allow the chlorine to drop to a normal level (2.0 to 5.0 ppm). Run your filter 24/7 until it's clear (even after it's clear!). If that alone doesn't clear it, add a liquid "metal removing agent" to "chelate" the metals.
