How do you get rid of the deposits in tap water when boiling it to prepare formula?

I live in London and use cold tap water to boil to prepare the formula for my baby.("Breast is best people - please don't start - do you think we don't do it for fun?) The problem is that there is a white deposit that is formed on the water surface just after it is boiled - is it the same stuff as scaling in other gadgets and if so isn't it harmful to the baby? How is it possible to get rid of this? Or is it better to use bottled still water?

1. Vinegar will probably remove most of the deposits. But you might want to call your local environmental health folk to find out whether bottled water is preferable in your area.
2. Hi , I bought a new tea strainer and used to use that for the water that i boiled for my baby.
