#18. Solution: get a water softener, or if you already have one, it almost certainly needs salt added. That will reduce or end the scale build up.

To remove the scale that's already there, just soak the faucets in simple lemon juice, available at any grocery store. Cheap, no harsh chemicals. Wipe away scale after 30 minutes.
