hi,
i have vbm domobar junior hx machine and when i dismantled the mushroom to check for scale after one year of use filtered water this what i found




in the pics should i descale my machine?

Just to clarify
filtered and softened 2 different beasts,
also I can see that you have the pin quite worn,
in addition to the descaling inspect the rest of the GH for wear including the cam.

after cleaning the pin it looks good and the gasket is good i dismantled the cam and it there was no scale on it
