Will this remove hard water deposits?

not sure if it will remove hard water spots, but the cleaner and polish seem to prevent the deposits from forming..

you probably have hard water in your house? if you do, you have a calcium deposit problem, not just soap scum, in which case, the only thing you can do is use chemicals such as CLR (Calcium-Lime-Rust remover) or some sort of acidic solution - as in diluted vinegar.

Yes. This can be found at any local grocery or hardware store. Using any type of tap, softened, mineral or filtered water may contain enough calcium and deposits to sure clog all your attachments.

I have used one in each of my homes. I noticed some buildup inside but I do not think it is hard water buildup since one is used in the home with a water softener. I have thought about, but not yet tried, using Dip-It which is used to clean coffee pots. Hope this is is of some help.

No, this is not a water softener. It will not filter out the majority of the heavy minerals in the water.

I doubt that it will do that. Calcium deposits need to be broken down with something first. I use citric acid, make a paste with the powder and let it sit on the area for several hours. At the point where the deposits are loosened, I think the Euroflex would be a good tool to scrub it all away.

If you use tap/hard water, you will get a calcium build-up after awhile and it will need to be cleaned. I would suggest using distilled water.

Hi Jadi No it won't; use a razorblade scrapper or if your going to wash out the aquarium after then use a Mr. Clean Magic eraser; it will take the hard water stains off guickly. Hope this helps.

I`ve used it on glass and other things. Its abrasive so it wont leave your glass looking pristine, but it will clean the hard water residue, it did for me anyway. Glass blocks are pretty tough... it should do the trick. If you are worried about scratches, try a little on one block.Can`t hurt. Its worth buying.

Yea I agree with that previous answer, I was using it for my viquarium maintenance and it did take off the weaker hard water deposits but not the caked on stuff that you really wanna get out you know?

Sorry, I'm not sure, but it sure works on granite, appliances. A friend washed her inside car windows with hot water alone and they sparkled. It does a nice job on stainless but don't know about hard water. Sorry

I do not have a hard water problem here, but having loved in Arizona previously, from Experience with hard water there, I would not use this unit unless I had a water softener system installed and functioning prior to installation.

no. depending on your water softener... determines how much salt it uses. mine is gear driven by water... so every 300 gallons mine regenerates. water softeners don't remove iron... like this air injection sys does. I have noticed a big difference in my water since I bought this system... I would recommend that you get your water tested.... to see if you need an iron removal system

I purchase distilled water from the store. The white residue is mineral deposits from your water source. Distilled water has no hard water mineral deposits.

it's never happened to me but you might want to fill it with CLR or vinegar then invert it so the liquid doesn't come out the drain holes. Let it sit like that for 1/2hour. That usually works for other hard water deposits.

I see you water drop question has been answered. You might want to consider that the instructions that come with this product state not to use any harsh cleaners on it.

Its not exactly a filter, but yes, there is a removable metal mesh on the front spout that could be exchanged and/or washed/cleaned. It would not remove small particles, but only bigger parts (calcium deposits from hard water for example).
