We are on a well with extremely hard water. So I use reverse osmosis
water from the grocery store in my Brewtus IV-R.
However, we do have to descale our various household faucets and shower
heads once in awhile. We soak them in cleaning vinegar. Works great.

That sounds like a serious scale problem. Have you got an inline water

Would suspect you may be in need of a big descaling session, I usually
use citric acid but suspect you may be looking for something more
aggressive.
