Glad you're still here, sounds like real close call there.

You're lucky you're not in the East Anglian area. Even with a Brita filter we have to descale our kettle every 2-3 weeks. But it is safe to drink, but I wouldn't or couldn't unless it goes through the Brita filter first due to the taste.

To descale a kettle, just use a cheap bottle of lemon juice, cover the bottom of the kettle bring to boil and leave for 5 mins. Rinse, boil water once and you're good to go. A lot better and cheaper than descaling liquid/products.
