Default Fresh Water Head and Effect on Calcification?

I'm in the enviable process of replacing my head hoses due to calcification
(or whatever that &*@# is builds up in there). I was quite amazed at how
small some of the 1.5" hoses had become. Some were easily down to 1/2".

Anyhow, I was talking to a friend of mine who has their head plumbed with
fresh water and he was claiming that his hoses don't calcify. Can anyone
vouch for this?

If it happened with fresh water toilets, used for billions of flushes a
day, one might think it would have been noticed.
