So I'll be refreshing an awful lot of the plumbing in our house this year. Likely to end up being a full replacement job from the feed/stopcock onwards.
Our old place in London was awful for limescale, worse than any other house I've lived in before (always south London). It just seems to attack shower panels and sinks, taps etc and never quite clean off.
The bottom line is, I'd like to treat it at source rather than constantly descale things. I've seen in-line descalers that work on a few different concepts, which sounds ideal. I'd rather avoid an electric softener as it doesn't seem the most environmentally friendly to have a box constantly running if possible.
So fill me in: do in-line systems work? Is it all a pointless endeavour? Am I gonna get kidney stones from drinking my tap water?
FWIW I'm moving from London to Bedford so maybe a bit better but ultimately, a pretty hard water area.
