I am moving into our new house soon. I am building a nice reptile room. It is out in the country so obviously I will have a well. So it has hard water. I am not too concerned about using it for the drinking water but was about the hard water and crocodillians and turtles who are in the water most of the time. I have a 4 foot spectacled caiman and two 1 foot dwarf caimans? any help would be appreciated...

You can buy five gallon bottles of water at Costco etc. You could use that exclusively for the crocodilians or perhaps a 50/50 mix... Whether or not "hard" water might be injurious is anyone's guess. The variations they must face across the span of environments must be considerable.
