Lime scale may well be the only point, but where I live, lime scale
is a very major point indeed. The water here is ruinously hard.



Here in East Anglia, it is officially Very Hard, over 300 mg/l calcium.
There is a big difference when showering with non-softened water, and it
seriously affects the limescale buildup on taps etc.
