It all depends on the source/cause of the'hard water'. Ask folks in your area?

It's kind of a bore well for housing community. They are planning to switch to city's water which is much better but it's kind of slow process. There's also a castor oil mill nearby, could it be polluting the soil?

The castor should be pretty safe as the heat destroys the toxin in the raw seed.

Try a simple carbon and sediment filter . Think that will be pretty standard. So unless you're in a high farming community or cattle that may taint the ground water - should be good. You can take a sample unfiltered and have it tested for bacteria etc. If there is any, the community should address that as a whole.

Good luck in the shift . I'd still use a carbon and sediment filter on city water. :)
