We've read many times the benefits of adding kalkwasser especially in regards of exporting PO4 thru precipitation.

I have a couple of questions:

1. Is it possible for the the precipitation that builds up on heaters, pumps, all over my sump...lol to become soluble if not removed ?

2. Also I have read that kalwasser can help the skimmer be more efficient because of (saponification), what exactly is that and does the kalk need to be dripped by the skimmer to make it more efficient ?

I don't know if ? # 1 makes sense if not I'll try to reword it
