Looking for advice on if it's essential to replace RO filters on an annual basis. I have a Pentair BWS-100 with 3 separate cartridges in SoCal with TDS set to 50 - has remained consistent at that level and works great after a year. Wondering if it's safe to replace after 18...
Hi All,
I recently upgraded my old E61 machine to a one-group Slayer. I want to protect my investment but also improve on the taste of my espresso. For over a decade, my old Quickmill Vetrano has worked well with what was recommended by Chris' Coffee to me (two 10 in cartridges,...
UPDATE: false alarm - I've managed to find bottled water with a stated PH value and the measuring device showed a whole degree lower value than it should have, in other words, it's not well calibrated. We are also on the lowest filtering value for BWT, so it'd be really...

Hi all, as i live in Europe (Austria) distilled water is really hard to come by and extremely expensive. That's why I have gone down the route of buying bottled water instead. I have found these waters that seem soft or really soft. Do I need to add any minerals to them or can I...
I've reading a lot of posts on water quality and chloride on here but would still love your advice.
I own a plumbed in espresso machine in an area with medium/high water hardness. I just recently found out that our chloride levels are 102 mg/l which was a shock.
I ordered a Micra and e-mailed LaMarzocco asking them their recommendation for a water solution. Based on the water report below, they recommended I order
iSpring RCC7P
and replace the 5th filter with -

Also, they said to order the iSpring RCC7P but didn't...
