FYI the "White Stuff" is most generally Calcium Carbonate CaCO3, with traces of other elements depending on what is actually in the water you are boiling. It's pretty much the same stuff as limestone, coral reefs and seashells are made from, and is the same as the scale around the spout of your teapot.
