Seriously. Theres ALLOT more than ph and cl, I've even seen calc drop out of water and collect on heat exchangers, Do you have a water chem guy?
Send a sample out to a lab.

You will need to look beyond just pH and Cl and have a total water analysis done to see what elements are in the water that could cause problems.

I would recommend that you talk to a company that provides water treatment chemicals. There is a trade association named AWT that can recommend a company in your area. Here is a link to contact them: http://www.awt.org/FindWaterTreater/company_locator.cfm

Good Luck
