Water heater lime build-up

Our NT 32-238 has a Kuuma Model 11810 six gallon water heater.  We have had continuing issues with lime plugging the hot water piping.  Has anyone had success with dissolving the lime and what did you use?

Also, has anyone installed a thermostatic mixing valve on their water heater?

Many thanks,

I can’t help with the mineral build-up, but I added a Cash Acme 110-D LF Thermostatic Mixing Valve.
