Steve, my understanding is that it is a helping to break the bonds that the
iron is forming that keep it in place; i.e. attached to the scum. It also
raises the pH as it is around 11. CRL is also a similar product to Lime
Away. I haven't checked the two side by side though.
When I relied on a well for my water, and I wanted to keep my print washer
full, I'd put a few drops in after I pulled my last print for the day. It
help the scum from forming. It did require a bit longer to run before my
first print in the washer on next use.
