Default Brown Water

We have a pond that is supplied buy a spring here in south east Texas,
the water supply is not too dirty (with clay), but the run off from the
dirt road adjacent to the pond is of a red clay & sand mixture that
keeps the pond a reddish brown that never subsides.
Using chemicals would be ongoing & not realistic, visibility
is only about 2 inches or so & it has been a real disappointment .
The pond is about 60 foot by 25 foot & 4 foot deep.
We have a pump already in place that we could utilize to
filter the water, any suggestions on how to set up an adequate system
(we are mechanically inclined & could put something together ourselves
with some suggestions)
Thank you
Doug
