Will remineralizing RO water cause limescale to accumulate in kitchen appliances?

Asked 3 years ago

I live on a private reservation with my own well. For some reason, the groundwater was causing limescale buildup in my kitchen and bathroom faucets. I bought a reverse osmosis system and now have much cleaner, softer water. I'd like to replenish some lost minerals, but I'm concerned that doing so will resurface the limescale problem.
