Removes calcium carbonate and related deposits. It is also suitable for combination problems where iron and/or manganese oxide deposits are also present. Use where high levels of manganese oxide deposits only are present.

Calcium Carbonate Deposits
Calcium carbonate is a common chemical compound substance found in rock in all parts of the world and is usually the principal cause of hard water. Hard water causes scaling, which is the left-over mineral deposits that are formed after the hard water has evaporated and is known as limescale. For water extractors, excessive calcium carbonate can clog pipes and pumps and restrict water production. Across the water industry, water hardness must be constantly monitored to avoid costly breakdowns in pumping and associated equipment.
How to Recognise the Problem
The appearance of calcium carbonate is generally that of a distinct white powder or stone and is more layered than iron oxide deposits. Iron oxide could also be present indicated by a rust coloured calcification.
