I guess with a UVc install on the main line (water to the main tank) will reduce the effect (chip scale)
Frequent WC will regulate the amount of bact. thus, will also reduce the scale chipping problem while it heal but u'll not expecting a uniforming recovery of the scale unless u pluck out the effected scale which I do not recommend.

How often do we need to change our CC?

not really sure of freq because it depend on your bioload and freq of WC.
For me, i change CC about once every 8months or so..

What is your tank size? how many compartment of CC u have?
