It can stain the plaster and reacts with chlorine in the pool (uses up chlorine faster and makes a black deposit). If it's not from the well water, then a galvanized pipe or part of a heater or pump is corroded. That can be expensive or dangerous if the part fails. It might be a good idea to check with your local pool supply company, or have a qualified pool service person check it out for you.

if its only rust discoloring the water there is nothing to wory about. however you should keep an eye on the disinfectant levels of the water.
