Use Zeolite Softners before feeding the water to Pipeline. The Softner will reduce the Calcium Hardness.

You may not need to reduce calcium. You need to control scaling tendency by controlling LSI. Run the water analysis for pH, alkalinity, conductivity and Ca. Run LSI calculation. See if pH control with a mineral acid can be done economically. Compare that to the operating cost (CAPEX and OPEX) for a lime softener and IX softener for partial flow to blend to desired water quality that keeps LSI at non-scaling levels. This assumes you are referring to potable water and not waste water issues.
