5-1-1 and need to reapply lime

Say the plan is to keep a plant in 5-1-1 for two years. You apply the initial lime charge. Furthermore, say you irrigate with distilled/pure/rain water. Will that type of water, the incorporated peat and the decomposing bark constantly try to drive the soil pH down below say 5.0, necessitating another lime application before the two year repot?
