OK Thanks. Is it true that allowing tap water to stand for a few days before
watering helps with the hardness.

I can't imagine how since it's the chalk in the water causing the
hardness.

If you really don't have a source of rainwater you could use distilled
water as sold for use in domestic irons.

Or move to Manchester. (Which would solve the source of rainwater
problem too.)
