Recommended for: |
- Oscar II (Direct Connect)
- Musica (Direct Connect)
- Appia II 1-2 Group
- Appia II Compact
Basic Info:
This systems is built to perform four functions: maintaining proper water hardness (softening), taste, odor reduction (carbon filtration), and sediment reduction (filtration).
Maintenance:(low)
This system requires the user to switch out cartridges as needed. To help determine this time period we have provided a calculator. If you would then like to setup a reoccurring order to delivery the filters as needed visit this page.

Recommended for:
Basic Info:
This systems is built only to reduce the hardness of the water being fed to the machine. Using this filter is not recommended if your dissolved solids levels are greater then 250 ppm. Doing so can void your machines warranty.

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 recommend to always add a water filter to your order if you do not have one already. Replacement time of filters depends 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.
