How do I correct this problem?
A puddle of water drips on "shore water", and it looks like calcifaction. How is this repaired? jb

I had a similar drip in my wet panel. They replaced the valve. The extended warranty paid for it, along with a few other things that almost paid back the cost of the warranty. Almost.
The calcium/lime build up should not cause any problems, other than being unsightly.
IMO, pipe tape or pipe dope should never be used on a self sealing fitting such as flare fittings, compression fittings, or hose fittings (there is a washer or 0-ring in there that is supposed to seal). Pipe tape or dope is for tapered pipe threads only.
But, hey, if you have used it and it worked for you, it is your rig and you are entitled to do things your way.
Personally, I prefer to do it right instead of over.
