Yes and no. There is considerable reason for me to be VERY leary of
the unsoftened water in my neighborhood.
The folks on my street, in fact my town more or less, have had no end
of rust stains on everything that touches water directly from the
pump. In fact, many of them ended up with rust colored clapboards
(not just foundation walls) as a result after only a few months.
These are plants that will drip onto my front porch. I am spooked by
the orange I've seen elsewhere.
