Water Softeners
Locally, in the greater Seattle area, water softeners are generally not used much, as the soft water in this area makes mineral buildup less of a problem. However, most folks use a water filter with a lime scale inhibitor to help control the mineral buildup. The Everpure OCS, BH or MH filters each have a scale inhibitor.
In other parts of the country where hard water is common, water softeners are required. No machine manufacturer will honor warranty claims when the root of the problem is hard water.
We carry three commonly used water softeners:
Rechargeable canister type softener.
This uses rock salt to recharge the softener, and requires the operator to spend twenty to thirty minutes charging and flushing the canister. This must be done on a regular basis, depending on how hard the water is, and the volume of water used.
The initial softener canister costs about $150, and comes with complete instructions.
In addition, there are two water softener cartridge systems put out by Everpure, and they are both very convenient. You must change the cartridge regularly, depending on hardness and volume.
7-S0 water softener cartridge system. Removes 2,000 grains of hardness. This is a low volume softener system intended for low volume or not-so-hard water.

S0-24 water softener cartridge system. Removes 4,500 grains of hardness. This is the recommended system for most customers in hard water areas.

Water Filters
We recommend a high quality water filter system that is specifically designed for espresso machines. A good filter system will pay for itself many times over through longer machine life and fewer problems requiring service.
There are numerous filter options, depending on a customer's specific needs and volume.
