But I think the Porsche is the least of your issues. If you haven't already I would install some industrial strength filtration for faucets, showerheads and would not cook or brush teeth with anything but bottled water.
I have similar but different issues now living in a 100+ year old building, I don't even drink out of glasses anymore, only disposable recyclable cups. Everytime I wash glassware, even with a PUR filter, the glasses dry with a weird film. I now have to see a dermatologist on a regular basis.

Try using ZeroWater...it really cleans up my tap water and removes the VERY hard minerals/limestone. Found out from a Pro Porsche detailer (used to do all the Porsche inventory at the local dealership until he semi-retired) that it was my new house roof. Acidic glue had come off my new home roof and only the Porsche was affected due to the water based clear coat. The Jeep and BMW use an oil based hard clearcoat this is less susceptible to this. The downsize of the clearcoat on the Jeep and BMW (and my 350Z with rock chips galore) is that the clearcoat is hard and pebbles at high speed will chip off paint to bare metal. This doesn't happen with the softer Porsche clearcoat (at least of my year model - I know there are new laws requiring harder clearcoat since). Apparently, it was a trade-off between high speed driving and the assumption that the Porsche will always be garaged. He's going to walk me through protecting the car with the right kinds of stuff I can pick up anywhere for my specific color (red and black loose oil/moisture in the clear coat faster) and type of clear coat. The spots are actually where my clear coat dried out due to the acid. He is going to oil the clear coat, clay bar, buff/polish, then wax it a couple of times to keep it from happening for a bit.
