Effectiveness
The limescale is still there, but it is much easier to remove. It no longer sticks as it used to. At the start of use, small pieces of limescale may temporarily block the tap strainer. However, this is much less work than dealing with all the limescale in the rest of the house and is a visible confirmation of the effectiveness within the pipes that you would otherwise not notice as a consumer.
