How is limescale produced?
limescale is produced by acids and alakilies
Is limescale remover a acid or alkali?
Hydrochloric Acid HCl. It's used in brick cleaning solution for builders to get rid of cement mess they have left. More diluted is Patio Cleaner, but this you will find in most stores as it is for home use. The problem with HCl for limescale removal is that it is so powerful. As I said above it used to eat away cement! If this sits in your plastic pipes it will melt them or whatever you are cleaning (including your skin). If you insist in using it make sure it is diluted and make sure you flush it out of your drain pipes completely and into the sewer. If it sits there you will need new pipes. The safer option is something like citric acid which is in a lot of limescale removal products. Yeah it is slower, but it won't damage anything. You asked which is the quickest and the answer is HCl, but there are reasons not to use it.

How does limescale form?
Limescale forms as a precipitate of calcium (and magnesium) carbonates on the inner surface of a pipe, or on the outside of a heating element. This is a serious industrial problem, and water-softening solutions are often employed to mitigate the problem. There are differences of opinion as to whether aragonite, or calcite are more important in this subject. (Two different crystal forms of calcium carbonate.)
