Most likely point of blockage on a feed and expansion pipe is at the bottom end, just before it connects to the main circulating water pipe. You can get some of the dissolved matter in the water crystallising out in the cooler section of pipe just up from the flow of hot water. Cut out a couple of feet of pipe, poke the crud out and re-fit with compression couplings to make removal easy if it happens again.

Replace the pipe fully, using an alternative route.

Or cut into the pipe where accessible and repeat the hose each way.
