Hard water lime build up

[Gramps]

Lime and calcium buildup are becoming a huge PIA for me. I just had a local plumber tell me about this inline unit. Anyone here use one of these? https://www.homedepot.com/p/ScaleRX...ntion-System-ScaleBloc/305517595?emt_ppr_vfpd

Wonder if it would work inline with the Havasu's pool auto-fill?

I have 3 filter setups for cold water, and one for hot water with also something similar to this in my house water system. They do work but with out pre-filters they dont last long and slow the pressure down.

You might want to pull and clean the anodes in the hot water heater. If they are scaled they are not doing their job.

I dont have a fancy pool like you peeps have bit thos it what I use when filling the pool and anytime I add water. Keeps the pump from corrosion and scaling.

I would think not. They talk about the vortex inside the descaler which impies a strong flow whereas the auto-fill barely trickles.
I put a drinking water carbon filter on my autofill, and also do total drain/refills through a couple carbon filters .

Tried something similar on our fountain. It did no good. I think you need something nuclear for the LHC hard water deposits.
