Be prepared for blockages if you don't have filters on your jets. As your Ultimate Master is keeping your elements clear, the problem should not reoccur. Using Micro Splitting formulae I freshwater rinse. Limesacle can start to form, but by using the occasional acidic rinse on upholstery in particular the problem is "nipped in the bud".

Glynns tip is a good quick fix without getting involved with nasty chemicals.

Safe and happy de-scaling:)

Limescale removal can sometimes be difficult depending on the severity,best remover I have found is Fernox DS3,available from local plumbing suppliers.
It is sold for central heating systems,works in minutes and cleans back to new.
