Hard Water, your opinion?

So I have pretty hard water here, I plan on doing this:
malt/dex LC > rye Spawn Bags > cased 50/50
Should I even bother to use my water or should I just go buy from the store. I'm just thinking the energy and time I use boiling fucking water would make just buying it worth the money.
I used my sterilizer once and it has a mass build-up of minerals/lime.
I'm sitting here debating whether or not to even do it with my water. What do you think?

careful when you shop at HELL mart... they have the second largest computer system in the world after the Pentagon. They track purchases like mad... I'm scared of one day, them wondering why so many people who buy vermiculite also buy latex gloves, rubbing alcohol, and LED christmas lights....

That's a bit much in my opinion. I've been to stores that have the baking soda, lighters, sos pads, and car antennas in the same isle. This store was next to a hotel 8! At the end of the day, it's about sales, and how to get your money.

Add two capfulls of vinegar to your sterilizer water. This will help prevent mineral buildup on your sterilizer's body and stop cloudy deposits on the jars.

If you have well water with lots of calcium or otherwise hard water, I'd suggest filtering it before use. One time using the PC will not leave much in the way of deposits unless you fail to turn down the stove when pressure is reached. The only minerals that are left behind are from the water that gets puked out the vent. If little water escapes the weight, then there will be little buildup of deposits.
No more free advertising for XXX-mart. We should be boycotting the bastards, not shopping there. RR

Well I feel horrible shopping there, but I just moved out to a new house, deposits 1200, water/electric turn on was 620...so that's why I went to fuck-mart.
I HATE them. I hate going there. I supporting them.
...they're all over, 3 foot thick concrete, no windows, one main entrance...there basically STRONGHOLDS across america....i've always said if shit goes down...TAKE OVER WAL-MART. ...because they would.
I'm just waiting...with 30rnd mags.

...anyways, I'll just buy all my water from now on.
