Interesting.

I'm on a well, but with super hard water. So I have a water cooler, which I empty into a Brita pitcher, but just for drinking.

Just for the flavour.

I cook with my hard water though. Lots of stews and soups too, make bread, etc. So I suspect I get sufficiently mineralised as a result.

For context, I was boiling a large pot of water and got distracted by a call. Most of the water boiled away, well over a gallon. I was left with a solid white disk of calcium at the bottom. Also, when I broke it to get it out, it was super sharp, almost cut myself.
