ultimate master has a water softener in it , just an idea soak it in in a solution of calgon or a kettle descaler.

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.
