First post from a newbie ECM Classika PID owner. When turning my machine on in a morning, the pressure on the gauge rises (after day 5 minutes) and I have to release the line pressure for it to continue heating.
Hi - I was directed to you for this question I posted in the new members area:
basically, I have just moved my espresso machine abroad to Croatia and have been looking for a decent Mineral Water to replace Volvic or that Tesco one people use in the UK.
I have found one with the following mineral content
Calcium 21.5 mg/l
Magnesium 4.3 mg/l
Potassium 0.27 mg/l
Sodium 1.1 mg/l
Bicarbonate 84 mg/l
Nitrate 1.5 mg/l
Chloride 0.22 mg/l
dry residue @ 180 degrees 74mg/l
Water hardness 6.6 degree F or 0.66 mmol
pH of the water is 8.1
do any of you experts out there have a view on his this water will affect my machine - like will it save it from lime scale and corrosion?
