Removing Fine Particulate Calcium Carbonate From The Water Supply

[petercsea]

Have a simple water supply system taking water from the mooban supply. It's stored in a 1000 litre tank and then pumped on demand to the taps.

The water supply is loaded with fine particulate calcium carbonate. This collects in any and all filter devices including the faucets, shower heater filters and washing machine. Most can be flushed out and some needs to be dissolved with weak hydrochloric acid such as that in Duck. This is required on average twice a week.

What would a recommendation be to install some filtration process presumably after the pump and before the taps as a single device?

The water is exceptionally hard as the locale is a limestone plain (previously hills) . The problem of hard water management is a separate issue.

Thanks for any advice folks.

I have the same situation from my well and investigated it, consulted with local water treatment companies and finally bought a stainless steel tank with ion exchange resin beads that can be recharged with a brine solution. Helps a lot when it is freshly recharged, but a week of not charging and the white stains return.
