My garage is so full of sheet rock dust, that probably wouldn't work.

Out here we have some of the hardest water in the country and there are only a few ways to cure it for good, Remember that you are drinking that water and the minerals can hurt you over an extended period of time.
1. Reverse Osmosis:
Good - It strips everything from the water.
Bad - It strips everything from the water, This makes it safe to drink but all of the good minerals as well as the bad are removed. The water will leach chemicals and minerals from any metallic line it passes through after being treated so not only will it eat up your copper lines it can also over time make you sick if you dont use the correct lines for the treated water.

2. Water softeners:
a. Salt:
Good - It is very affective at knocking out large minerals and when used in conjunction with an R.O. unit extends the membrane life and wastes less water.
Bad - Over time the salt can cause health issues and destroy water lines in your home.

b. Potassium Chloride:
Good - Performs as well as salt when knocking out large particles but the increased levels of potassium in the treated water add health benefits.
Bad - There is a very small amount of salt in the water after treatment but it is much lower than the EPA requirments for tap water.

We filter our drinking water.
