Height of Andreja Premium water reservoir fill area

[edwa]

I would like to ask if a Andreja Premium owner would post a picture of the water reservoir fill area on top of the machine.

I'd like to see if my current set-up would still work if I upgraded.



Thanks in advance,
Ed

Unless there is something very odd about your camera angle, that setup can't possibly be to code, or legal in any jurisdiction other than maybe in Albania. It looks like you could directly spray water into the sockets if you turned the faucet in that direction. Granted at least some of them appear to be GFIs, but sheeeeesh. And what if there was a leak behind the faucet in the wall?

Safety issues aside, the Andreja Premium has a open top just like Silvia's, except it's larger and the cover is stainless steel. It all depends on the height of the faucet (Chris' Coffee lists all the dimensions). Given the close proximity of your water source, I would consider Quickmill's direct connect kit.

I've measured for clearance and the height without the cup rail will be a piece of cake. I'm just not able to see from the catalog photos how access is gained to the water tank. Is the removable top partial like Silvia or does span the whole top surface?

As for up to code, I don't know what to say. Unless the guy was blind, not only did the kitchen remodel pass final inspection but every interim inspection along the way. It also never raised a concern from the general contractor, the electrician, or the plumber. Maybe because all the outlets are GFI's?

The water pressure is not very strong for this pot filler (still haven't measured it) as it is one of 3 off shoots from an Everpure filtration unit. So, I'm not sure if a direct connect is an option. The faucet also swings to the other side to fill my wife's drip coffee maker.

Photo anyone?

Silvia is 13-5/8" tall and Andreja is 14-1/2" (not counting rail). So you need about 1" additional clearance above Silvia. Your photo with spiget appears high enough to clear Andreja. If really need a picture of the top back fill area I'd call Chris and ask them.

Chris' FAQ Andreja Premium: How to remove the outer shell has a few pictures.
