Sounds like a water softener and reverse osmosis water filtration
setup to filter out the fine dissolved solids from your well water would do
you more than trying to filter crap out of the pool after it is causing
problems...


Fail.

Softened water will actually damage the pool surface -- plaster.

Best I can tell.

An RO for 30,000 gallon pool? Please? Cost for a softener, add that up
real fast.



Umm... Not a fail... You are perhaps only familiar with the sodium
water softeners, there are other types out there which can be used
with other salts that cost more money...

If your pool's plaster is so fragile that a little bit of salt in the
water
(which there wouldn't BE if the OP softened the water and then
filtered it with an RO system) then the acid in the rain water must
really do a number on it...
