Subject: Hard water - reversible?

I have hard water - I don't know how hard but limescale forms on some of 
the faucets and I have a slow filling toilet tank.  We've been in the place 
5 years now and It's About Time.  For water treatment, that is.

My question is, once I get this water condition diagnosed and properly 
treated, will the effects of hard water on the plumbing fixtures, etc. 
start to reverse?  I'm particularly interested in the toilet tank fill 
valve, which has a very minimal flow in it.   I'll replace it if I have to, 
but I'm hoping that I don't have to.

Thanks.
