Yep, my Mossies.
Although they can be put into a temporary set up for a day or so.

They also sell that stuff at the special hardware shop for apprentices.

It the same place you get Threaded nails, threadless screws, and the box of sparks for the angle grinder.
Usually on the shelf next to the lengths of fallopian tube. Ask a local mechanic where he can get elbow grease from and he'll tell you and ask you to get a long weight while you're there.


Try vinegar, but only a very small amount on a rough cloth. (that jumper your great-aunt doris knitted is handy now)
A razor blade will remove the deposits easily off glass, leaving barely any mark, but you want to try to stop the deposits dropping into the water.
If you've got access to water softener filters, then use them for all the water.
The water lines are created by hard water, same thing happens in the kettle, it's just calcifying or limescaleing up, depending on your point of view.
