Scale reducer (5,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

water softener

(Other definitions for water softener that I've seen before include "Substance aiding the production of suds" , "Remover of hardness (eg, from mains supply)" , "it can facilitate laundering operation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
