Wait, sediment or scale? If it's sediment, you can get basic whole-house sediment filters that are a lot simpler than water softeners.

I'm not sure if it's sediment or scale. It's grey crusty gunk.

Oh, if it's stuck to pipe/valve surfaces (not loose sediment or silt) that's mostly likely scale, which means yes, you've got hard water.
