    Will a Water Softner Remove Limescale Buildup in a Water Heater
    Our water heater has limescale buildup and makes a very loud rumbling noise when heating. We tried flushing it but that didn't really help.

    Would installing a water softener help clear out the lime in the water heater and prevent it from coming back?

    A softner will not help. How often do you flush the tank?
