BWT 9684 - In Tank Water Filter and Softener
Overview
The most common culprit of espresso machine troubles is scale build-up in the boiler due to hard water. The good news is that this problem is avoidable by testing your water hardness. If your water exceeds 3 grains of hardness we recommend using a water softener to help guard from scale build-up. This water filter and softener is an in-tank option which attaches to the bottom of your water reservoir and has a place for the in-tank hose to connect to. If you're planning on directly connecting your machine to a water source, see our Direct Plumbed Softening and Filtration System.
