Try carbon dioxide. CO2 has a natural affinity for the basic calcium compounds in your water. It will chemically bind them, creating a precipitate.

To test if this method will work, chill some tap water, then get a straw and blow into it for about a minute. If the water gets cloudy, you know that your breath is precipitating calcium carbonate and other minerals.

You may not have enough CO2 in your body to do the trick unless you just ran a mile. If you get a tank of the stuff, it will cleanse it of calcium and also make it sparkle. Remember that the colder the better since gases dissolve well in cold water and solids do not.

This may help you during the summer, when distillation causes a lot of waste heat.
