Scale (white buildup on appliances) comes from the hardness in the water (calcium and magnesium ions). Unless you have a sodium chloride/potassium chloride based water softener or one the so-called "salt free" conditioners (aka TAC water conditioners) you will still get scale buildup if you have hard water. I don't know anyone with a TAC water conditioner so I am not sure how effective their crystallization technology is. Sodium chloride/potassium chloride water softeners are very effective in scale reduction as they drive the water hardness to zero.
