Lime Saturators are notorious maintenance problems.  With the saturators you run the risk of oversaturating the lime creating your deposits.  Three possible solutions: 1) run the saturator at a higher rate, producing water that is not fully saturated in lime. 2) Use DI water, to remove other materials, and 3) use distilled water as the feed water.  Neither of the last two are guaranteed to solve the problem but they should help.  The best solution is to run the system with less than saturated lime== meaning monitor the pH.
