I assume your water comes from the Welsh hills. But whatever the amount, it's harmless. Possibly even good for you.
Misty glasses are most likely caused by putting them in the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergent is very harsh. You can't solve it once it has happened, but handwashing glasses will prevent it.
ps. Glad you are back. Hope you are doing Ok.

Misty glasses in this case has nothing to do with a dish washer I don't have one.

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.

I bought a descaler product for 79p.
