Correct, once it gets covered in build up and scale, you pitch the canister and essentially have a new system because the heating coils are in the canister.
The version with the cleanable coil and tank would eat the coil, blow the fuses and short the electronics out. Service tech at the company told me I needed to put a reverse osmosis system in to keep the impurities from reacting with the stainless steel.
Instead, I had a new system that uses canisters installed and all my hassles are gone; change the canister at the beginning of the season rather than the old system where I had to tear it apart every 2 to 3 months and clean at minimum, usually involved buying and replacing coils and electronic boards as well.
