    Eliminates them how? Do they break down and if so what do they break down into? I’m genuinely curious.

      “Eliminates” is a bit misleading. Calcium carbonate in the water traps the particles, some in the layer that builds up in the pot, the rest can be filtered out easier because the resulting particles are bigger.
