This stuff is difficult to clean off of my glasses and makes me really wonder if I should be drinking this at all, as I have a immune system that is shot to heck... any clues
We are renters so this really wouldn't be our issue if it is pipes. But what about the town's water system????

Calcium Build up in the pipes.
I have heard of it before. Looks like thin little layers of tiny white things. If you rent tell the landlord maybe he should have the pipes checked out. Don't think it could hurt you tho
Think if I was you I'd just buy a large jug of water from the store to play it safe.

ignore the idiot who said bettas like small space. they LOVE large spaces and will grow larger and more extravagant as proof of it. I have a male betta and thought he was full grown but when i put him in a 20 gallon tank he grew much larger and his finnage grew ENOURMOUS and full colored.. that said clean your entire tank. everything. put in a new filter cartridge. then fill the tank with filtered tap water and put in the conditioner to remove clorine. Then put in the fish and NO ornaments/gravel/filter or anything. See if it develops again. if it does, your fish is the cause. if not, put on the filter then gravel. make sure everything is hot washed but NOT BOILED . also, if the betta is all you have, only feed one pellet the size of his eye twice a day MAX. no more. even though he'll want more, that's all he needs. It's an instictive behavior from living in ponds when they didn't know when the next food would come. You know he'll get feed soon so don't over feed.

It's unlikely to be fluoride, as fluorine compounds are fairly soluable in water (see any chemistry textbook on this one).
Calcium deposits are common; to clear that out from your pipes will likely be an expensive and difficult project. It's probably easiest to get a tap filter or, if you're up to it, hire a plumber to clean your pipes with a high-pressure (PVC pipes) or hi-temperature cleaning (for metal pipes).

It's probably either fluoride or limescale (from hard water)... either way, I would think about investing in a water filter... you will really notice the difference!
Take care...

ick. get a filter. like Brita, it's what we use and our water tastes great.
it could be ANYTHING. maybe it's a mineral that's building up.

Just ignore it and drink it down. That's what I do.
