We have hard water here, too. The white stuff is deposits from the hard water. Our water is very high in carbonates, and the carbonates precipitate out after a boil. I assume your HLT isn't boiling, but it must be hot enough to get the carbonates to precipitate out.
Do you notice a scale on your pipes, or on your shower head, too? I do. I get a buildup on my shower head and I soak it about once a year in Lime-a-way or some vinegar.

a friend of mine runs straight tap water for his brewing. when i add 5.2 to it and heat in the hlt i get a ton of floating white precipitates that look kinda like snow. never has effected the finished product though.
