Charlie see about having your water tested. It may be ok or good for
CP's. The worst part are salts, which just kill plants by building up
to poisonous levels but this effect seems to be nullified by having a
set up which allows water to flow through soil and wash out excess salts
and other minerals (some are salts too) which act as fertilizer for
fungus and bacteria which rot the soil, killing the roots.
If the tap is a no-go, then RO water would be a good method.
