You may still be getting a slow buildup, but you know how to keep it under control and what to do if you do start seeing limescale | |

| Jan 21, 2022 at 14:59 | comment | added | Chris H | It's possible that with insufficient incoming water (caused by the blocked input filter) limescale was building up on the heater faster than it normally would, and washing into the rest of the system. That's a lot of limescale, and it didn't form where you found it but somewhere upstream, from where it flaked off | |
