        I live on a farm and have bore water thatis rich in calcium.
        My electric hot water system blows elements about every year.
        The calcium is a HARD deposit at the bottom of the HWS vestle.
        It is impossible to remove through the small element hole.
        How do I stop it happening ?
        How do I get rid of it when it does happen ?
        What HWS system is best to buy in this situation ?
        Regards

          An ion exchange water softener will eliminate your hard water scale problem. Even the “best” water heating system on hard water will scale up.
