Warranty Information

The installation of a water softener is mandatory for all users that don't meet the required water specifications, failure to do so will void your warranty. It is recommended to always add a water filter to your order if you do not have one already. The replacement time of filters depends on the water and quantity of drinks being made (see estimating calculator - next tab).

Water Specifications

The installation of a water softener is mandatory when the espresso machine is fed with water that has a hardness higher than 3 grains per gallon or 50 parts per million (ppm). The pressure of the water line must be between 2 bar and 6 bar and the water must be cold. The water also must have a filtration level below 5.5 Micron, a total dissolved solids level between 50 and 250 ppm, an alkalinity level between 10 and 100 ppm, a chlorine level less than 0.25 ppm, and a pH level between 6.5 and 8.5.
