I have no idea. I'm assuming to find the Total Dissolved Solids I would have to get the water tested?what is your water's Total Dissolved Solids?
It doesn't seem to taste salty to me.Does it taste salty?
How does one get rid of silica?Silica will do this.

Shower heads are easy to change.
TDS testing is very simple but it will only tell you a little bit. I have to read the test results companies send me every day and the NTLlabs is far and away our preferred testing company to work with.
The well-check is ideal for most people.
Use a chisel and hammer to remove silica.

Very high hardness and tds.
No listing for silica but considering the high tds the buildup does not surprise me.
Common salt (sodium chloride) will not build up in your pipes.Thanks for all the tips.
So I decided to scrape off a bit of the build up and taste it. Well it does taste like salt.
Will I have salt build up in the water lines thus leading to clogging or does the salt just build up on the bath fixtures.?
This is awkward, but...
