Is there a way to remove this calcium with out replacing the pipes and valves? The water still flows but is slow.

There is no simple fix. If your house is less than 40 years old, i'd check the pressure switch, and tank bladder. Calcium takes a long time to plug up pipes.
Now water heater is a whole different thing. 10 years is old. Especialy on a well.

Its probably asier and cheaper to just replace the pipes and get a water softener installed .

use muriatic acid, like 3 dollars at the hardware store...it will work wonders...for sure..and it doesnt harm pipes...just stay out of the fumes for about 15 minutes as they are potent.

no unfortunately not anything you put in even if you flushed the system well would stay in there
more than likely if its that bad the aerators need cleaned first how does the tub fill up if good or decent then its mainly the aerators
