Motion, my inline filter was just after the pressure tank. The sediment wouldn't be any more contaminated than the water. Motion, where would the rust come from? Do you have cast iron well casing that extends the full depth of the well? I assume the line from the pump to the pressure tank is plastic.

I had a well go dry on me (not really dry, but it was unable to produce adequate water supply). I got sand in the bowl of the toilet. Not sediment in the tank, but sand in the bowl. Also the well pump would shut off while washing clothes and such.

Any contaminents in the rust/sediment that the water comes in contact with would probably already be present in the water. So if the water tested fine, probably the particulate matter in the water is uncontaminated. I'd test the water annually regardless.
