Has anyone had any experience of using the hot water machines and bottled water?
Where we're about to build a house, there's no mains drinking water, only for irrigation purposes. As such we're currently buying around 5 gallons of water a week for drinking/cooking. This in itself isn't too annoying whilst we're in a rental, but it's a bit ugly having an 8 litre plastic bottle on the worktop next to the kettle.
In the past we've had boiling water taps and mains fed fridges for drinking water which were great but obviously no option anymore. I did however see this Philipps thing which does both hot and cold water from a 2.8l tank.

It's a nicer thing to have on the worktop and does away with the need to fill bottles in the fridge and have a kettle on the worktop.
My main concern is the minerals in the bottled water here. It's making a bit of a mess of the kettle and creates a lot of deposits. Anyone know if i'm likely to have issues with something like the above?
