The dissolved material in hard water precipitates when it is heated and the water escapes as steam thereby increasing the concentration of the dissolved material. I can remember my parents keeping a tea kettle on all day to make instant coffee and after some time the precipitated solids rattled around inside.
I don't think that is the case with our water heaters since no steam escapes. The solid material is probably from the anode material that is sacrificed to protect the heater.
