What have you been running in it - coolant/water mixture? Where did the water come from? Water quality issues caused that.

mixed 50/50 with TAPwater.. here in sweden tapwater is drinkable. :D

never seen something like that, here we ALWAYS uses tapwater to mix with and never probbs....

Looks like the drinkable tap water in Sweden is harder (more minerals) than your system can handle. I would mix the coolant with purified/distilled water to avoid calcification in the future. Save the tap water for mixing drinks ;).
