Alde & Water System - Hard Water Scaling Tendency

BridgerSunset

We are still awaiting arrival of our 2021 400 Boondock, so just trying to anticipate things.  Our home well water requires softening for certain household uses, and we've seen the effects in our past conventional camper hot water tanks.  Wondering how it might affect things in the Alde & plumbing system.  Can anyone in the membership share any experiences with or solutions for hard water scaling issues over time within the piping or faucets or water heater in their unit?

Good stuff....& thanks for that, Sharon_is_Sam.  Didn't find that somehow in my search.

Still, am interested to hear if & how the Alde Flo handles mineral scaling, because I too don't want to carry around a small softener.

I carry and use a portable water softener and filter. I have over 400 nights in my 2019 T@B 400. My faucets, sink and shower are clean and mineral free. The sink and shower clean up very easily. And this may seem strange to you but I have the original shower curtain in it and it's in really good shape, over 400 showers.
