I think the OP said he's using bottled water.. maybe change brandhomeburrero wrote:your easiest solution will be to use bottled water
My water (bottled) has about 20mg/l calcium and 60 bicarbs. Chloride not even mentioned so I assume it's very low. Just as a reference. 80mg/l TDS

Thanks all for replying, the main question is how safe is it to use the coffee machine in this condition? The water from the boiler is just awful, mainly I don't use it in this way, but I'm not at all sure that this water gets through the the group or steam wand in the same way.
I began to fear that I might have encountered a similar problem:
Lelit PL41 turning water milky white...weird
In your opinion , is it possible to exclude it without disassembling the boiler ?
Meanwhile I wrote to lelit support. No response yet.
Thanks again!

You're right! I didn't notice that in the first post. This is a good example that one needs to carefully choose a good bottled water - The OP's choice looks like it was remineralized with a hefty amount of calcium chloride. Easy way to get soluble calcium into the water, but a terrible choice for use in an espresso machine.ojt wrote:I think the OP said he's using bottled water.. maybe change brand

Apparently these are the "difficulties" of translation.
Carbohydrates = hydrocarbonate.

OK. though the OP is listed as posting in the US and I figured no translation was involved. Nonetheless, you are probably correct.
