Hello, Not sure if anyone has had experience with this issue. We are cleaning out our aerators in our house every few weeks, sometimes more frequently and there is always a large build up of mineral deposits in there (most frequently in the bathrooms). Very Gritty, white stuff. We also have to replace shower cartridges frequently (maybe every 3-4 months) as they get messed up from the deposits. This has been happening for years now. We thought it had to do with our original Rinnai hot water heater that was probably 11-12 years old (regular flushes.) However, we had a new one installed about a year ago and the problem persists. We are still flushing the new hot water heater about every four months. Still nothing really helps. We have a friend who is a plumber but hate bugging him about this stuff and, frankly, he's as stumped as us, it seems (or he just doesn't want to deal with it, and I don't blame him.) Just wondering if anyone has any advice? Thanks.
