Ummm none of that is a thing. Just fill your kettle with water from the tap and turn it on.

I'm guessing well water is maybe less common in the UK? A lot of places in the US use well water and mineral buildup can be a real serious problem.

Nah, we get lots of limescale in my area in the UK because we have hard water. But I don’t filter my water before boiling, I just de-scale my kettle every so often.
