Same here, I deep clean it, then as soon as I open the water for a split second, it's all white again
I've resorted, about a year or so ago, to using large bottles of natural spring water for the kettle (when making tea/coffee).
It's an extra expense, however the lack of scaling has been lovely. Not had to clean my kettle once.
My sink is another story though.
Yeah the kettle gets bottle water, it'd be a block of limestone by now otherwise.
Brita filters are cheaper per litre (you can do more than 100l per filter if it's for a kettle) and create less waste. Personally I only change the filter when I notice residue in the kettle and it's been so long I have to clean out the jug with citric acid so I clean the kettle at the same time.
