    Ah Ha! Here I am again. I was just thinking I should post an update.

    I think we have solved the problem of the algae and the smell, as it has finally been decided to install a drain and a water feed pipe, so that the water in the tank can be easliy replaced.

    I was reccomended this: http://www.poolandspacentre.co.uk/chemicals/bayrol_desalgine.html by the waterscreen manufacturer, but I havent tested it out yet.

    However the limescale issues continue to cause problems, and the nozzles in the waterscreen bar are continually being bunged up with calcium. Our latest plan is to put coarse filters in line with the fine filters that are already installed downstream from the two pumps which feed either end of the waterscreen bar. We will also install fine and coarse filters into the water feed pipe.

    We also want to install the strongest possible limescale filters into both the water feed pipe and both the pump feed lines. The water in this area (Central London) seems to be extremely hard, so we will need to be very aggressive to keep the limescale under control.

    Anyone know any industrial strength in-line limescale removers?

    Usually a domestic limescale remover involves just running the water through salt.

    Best bet is to look up water treatment suppliers in the Yellow Pages.
