I have tried descaler which gets rid of it until once again I use tap water and the problem doesn't exist if I use bottled water. I have contacted Welsh water who apparently took a test from the local supply and found everything to be O.K. but I'm nervous to use the tap water.
Also due to the harshness of the water My drinking glasses seem to look very misty even though I know they are clean, is there a way I can solve this issue to.
Thanks for your input guys.
P.S.
Sorry to everyone I've not been about a month ago I was 30 minutes away from Respatory failure, if I hadn't have been found when I did by a nurse I would no longer be here.

The most detailed water hardness map of England & Wales that I’ve managed to find, puts Swansea in a “moderately soft” area, so you will pick up a little scale in your kettle over time but unless you’re boiling the thing constantly this should be a tiny amount that accumulates slowly. I appreciate that any blemish on the otherwise flawless stainless steel insides of your kettle won’t look good (presumably at £50 it has a concealed element), but it’s really nothing to worry about and not worth trying to clear away until there’s a significant coating.
The misting on your glasses is more likely to be the result of using too much concentrated washing up liquid in your bowl and/or not rinsing them after washing. I’d be surprised if there’s enough lime in your water to affect them directly.
