I'm experiencing calcium buildup on the inner pipe walls breaking loose and clogging mostly angle (stop) values. These newer 1/4 turn values are a particular problem as they seem to clog easily.
I made up a jig to flush out the lose calcium when needed. I believe I saw (read) where it is possible to line copper pipe with a teflon coating in place-- however -- unknown whether this will work on
older pipe which already has calcium on the walls.

Questions:
1) Anyone had any experience with lining older supply line pipe?
2) Anyone got a better solution to hooking up a jig, flushing the lines, if needed?

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
