Has anyone had any experience with water filtration systems?  Mom's orchids 
have not been doing well for the past year (about 2000 plants in a 
greenhouse) and she believes its the water.  The water where she lives used 
to be from a city well and was very hard and left a lot of white sediment. 
She lets the water stand in buckets a few days to settle out and now she 
says she's finding slimy brown crud in the buckets.  She intends to carry 
in rainwater - which I suppose is a temporary solution of sorts - but she's 
89 and shrinks a little more every year, so I'm thinking she needs 
something more elaborate than a rainbarrel.
