Default Water softener - slow build up of white deposit in plug hole

We have been running a water softener for over 7 years now and it does
make a great difference.
The water is soft and shower gel etc. foam easily.

However over time the plug hole of the shower bath has built up a white
deposit.

Has anyone else experienced this?
On line search isn't very helpful.

I assume it may be one of the soluble salts in the water which has become
less soluble and slowly built up, but that somehow doesn't seem right.

After 12 years my softener ceased working altogether.

If 'Viakal' dissolves the deposit its limescale and you need more salt
in your softener, or a new one
