There is a good short La Marzocco video on water testing that illustrates the point about TDS and how it can be a deceptive number, I will link it below as well as some other links that yo...

Not that I am adding too much value here but I know that Slayer has recommended using 'Third Wave Water' and also 'GC Water Perfect Cup'. What water sources did La Marzocco recommend to you?

Head is spinning! Is there a very simple water recipe?

I understand the desire to drop one thing in a go, so I thought I would also mention 'Global Customized Water Perfect Cup Formula', someone also previously mentioned 'Third Wave Water'

Where can I find a strapping tool?

Thank you so much to everyone who replied. I ended up popping into a local tool rental place where the guys there were nice enough to let me use their strapping machine. I gave them some money for their generosity. I greatly appreciate everyone's input. Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

Where can I find a strapping tool?

I have an espresso machine packed up and wanted to use a strapping tool to strap it to the pallet, besides going out and buying one does anyone have any idea what local businesses might have one that I could use? Does FedEx or UPS offer that as part of their packing program?

Slayer 220v electrical questions

Did your Slayer come with a plug attached when you bought it? After doing a bit of research it looks like the machine has 2 hots and one ground wire, so no neutral wire? So could you even use a 4 prong since that is for 2 hots, a neutral & a ground? Could you leave the neutral empty?

Slayer 220v electrical questions

Thanks for the quick reply. I am a renter so I would like to do the minimal amount of changes to the apartment that I have to. Do they sell Nema 14-30 plugs that you can just swap out? Or am I way off base here?
