am i wasting my time?

It's not a waste of time. Check these links from something I posted recently:

And water adjustments do not need to be complicated. For RO/distilled/'low mineral' water, take a look at Water Chemistry – How to Build Your Water – Bertus Brewery

But don't forget this part of the results....

Those participants who were correct on the first triangle test were then asked to select the beer they preferred. Interestingly, there was no clear preference, which goes to show that while water certainly seems to make a difference, how that difference is perceived is still subjective.

Yes, maybe. It depends on your water source and time of year. It also depends on your taste. If you build your water from distilled or RO water and you like the beer better, you didn't waste your time. If you don't notice any difference then maybe.
