>>>Aye - flakes. We get that. And they rattle around in the kettle and, no matter how many times you swish the kettle and rinse it out they're STILL there hiding around the heating element (which they also form around)

>>Cook vinegar essence from time to time. (all salts of vinegear and Calcium are soluble at any rate). The common anti-lime agents are citric acid. The odour is better, but vinegar works better. ::).

>Our shower rose (old-fashioned styled steel-chrome type) became clogged up with limescale, and some of the wee holes were not letting water through. So I dismantled it and steeped it in some vinegar soln. for a while, to dissolve the scale. Trouble is, it was only the scale keeping the rose together. Where there had been scale there were now gaping holes, around the seam of the 2 halves. So now water gushed out one side of the rose. Since replaced the rose with one that has plastic needle-jets poking through the metal holes. At least the plastic jets will not get corroded.

Ha! The plastic jets will not corrode. But the plasticizer will wash out, then they hardens and fell appart. (Maybe some limescale will keep it for a while ...) Nothing is for ethernity.
