You only notice it on the shower walls, it doesn't seem like anything bad to be bathing in. The clothes don't come out as nice from the washing machine as compared to using city water but they're still fine.


I can wash the truck with it and get the big mess off...but it's never clean enough to wax.


I'm just trying to figure out how much pressure and flow I need from a pump. Then I'll plumb up a small tank to a small water heater using a gravity feed setup, and hook up the pump to the output of the water heater.
