White on my brick

I have white on my brick. What will clean it off? How can I prevent it from coming back?
I have cleaned it 20 times with many different products. Not one works well. It seems like calcium deposits.

Tom: You know what it’s from, Charlie.
Charlie: I’m thinking the sprinklers.
Tom: You bet. The sprinkler systems every time you sprinkle.
Charlie: Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! Winner, winner, winner!
Tom: It’s going to leave it white and that’s from the chemicals in the water. That’s why I say don’t drink the water. Get a K5 Drinking Water Station from AquaTex.
Charlie: OK, but seriously.
Tom: But that’s it. You’ve got to stop sprinkling it with your sprinkler heads. Adjust the sprinkler heads. Clean it off. Rainwater won’t do it. City water, water from your sprinklers is going to do it. He didn’t say the color, but it’s usually red brick.
