Temporary hardness is removed by boiling the water. The boiling of temporary hard water forms a layer of limescale . This may coat the heating element in kettles and irons, for example, making them less efficient. Limescale is unsightly and it clogs up hot water pipes and boilers.

Answer:
true
Explanation:
The formation of limescale is largely a consequence of the presence of soluble calcium bicarbonate in water. This compound can decompose when heated to form insoluble calcium carbonate, which makes up the large part of limescale. This is what removes temporary hardness from water
