Re: 3 year old house will not stay cool

actually due to the nature of evaporation, rainwater is relativly soft compared to tap or well water.

what does evaporation have to do with the mineral content of the water?

not all tap water is well water.

You should see the crap that is left on my car after a rain.

Minerals are left on surfaces when water is evaporated - hence the term "mineral deposits". Minerals can not evaporate

Exactly, so it is due to the nature of the mineral content of the waters source, nothing to do with the "nature of evaporation".

You seem to know it pretty well. Tell you what, go run a sprinkler on your condensing unit for the rest of the summer, and maybe next summer too, and tell us how it works out. Unless you have soft water, set some money aside for a new condenser. Natural rain and domestic water are two different animals. And rain does not continuously coat the coil either.
