Bottled water can contain limescale, which is primarily composed of calcium and magnesium minerals, depending on its source. If the water is spring water or mineral water that naturally contains these minerals, it may have some level of limescale. However, purified bottled water, such as distilled or reverse osmosis water, typically has very low levels of these minerals and therefore less limescale. Always check the label for specific mineral content if you're concerned.
Deionised water has had minerals removed, so it is less likely to form limescale when boiled compared to regular tap water. However, other factors such as temperature, exposure time, and impurities in the water can still contribute to limescale formation.
Another name for limescale in kettles is calcium deposits.
Cornwall in South West England is known for having soft water with low limescale content compared to other parts of the UK. Areas like Penzance and Falmouth typically have water with minimal limescale deposits which may be more suitable for those concerned about limescale build-up.
The benefits of bottled water over tap water are it does not have that metallic taste which can be found from tap water, high health and safety standards are associated with bottled water to ensure it is free of contaminants.
No. Assuming the bottled water in question is electrolyte free, bottled water would be classified as a hypotonic solution.
Hard water has high concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions dissolved in it. Boiling the water causes these ions to come out of the water as lime scale. However it does not remove all the ions causing hard water. To do this you need to pass the water though a 'de-ionising' filter.

Carbon Dioxide.
Another name for limescale in kettles is calcium deposits.
Limescale is produced when hard water containing minerals like calcium and magnesium evaporates, leaving behind deposits on surfaces such as pipes, faucets, and appliances. These deposits build up over time and form limescale, which can decrease the efficiency of appliances and plumbing systems.
put simply limescale is caused by the reversal of the reaction that takes place to make hard water that contains high levels of calcium and magnesium when the reaction is reversed this is what causes limescale. to test for hard water use a block of standard soap and if the soap makes scum the water is hard water if it creates bubbles it is soft water
You think probable to hard water.

Please grab the bottled water in the fridge!=Do not let the bottled water go to waste. The bottled water in the pantry is Aquafinas, not Zephyrhills. =P Lolz..=

A capacitive electronic water descaler uses electrical impulses to change the structure of minerals in water, preventing them from sticking to pipes and forming limescale buildup. This helps keep plumbing systems free from blockages and damage caused by limescale.
