Profitec Pro 800 plumbing/PID issue

Dan, Excellent. Thanks for the video. Mine sounds exactly the same. So, I guess that is how is meant to be. I'll use this as an opportunity to put my doubts to rest. My pressure is good too - between 2-3 bars consistently. Thanks again! John

Profitec Pro 800 plumbing/PID issue

Has anyone had success getting into contact with Profitec? I know they want service issues to go through their retailers -- but I want a second opinion on what Whole Latte Love has told me is normal operation for the Pro 800. I can't believe that Profitec built a machine that is louder and more anno...

Profitec Pro 800 plumbing/PID issue

So... I received a message from WLL after several back and forths - this was confirmed by their head of prosumer tech support: It's interesting how many references online there are to "silent operation" of the Pro 800. It's only Clive Coffee that describes the machine as "nearly silent."

Profitec Pro 800 plumbing/PID issue

Hi, thanks for this I just tried it and no luck. When the boiler empties to a certain point (10 seconds or so on the hot water wand) the Orange light and PID go out. At that point I hear an awful buzzing sound (i assume it's a pump?). The boiler refills and the Orange light and

Profitec Pro 800 plumbing/PID issue

Hi, thanks for your replies. Switches are all in the correct position. I've even gone so far as to test how the machine operates when it's in each combination. When the bottom valve is set according to the manual (pointing towards the water line connection) is when I get a buzzing. I'm not sure if i...

Profitec Pro 800 plumbing/PID issue

Wondering if anyone found a solution? I just plumbed in my Pro 800 this afternoon. Same situation as the OP. For me, both green and orange lights are on. When I empty the boiler a certain amount through the hot water tap, I hear a buzzing sound (the pump trying to kick in?). At the same time (usuall...

Seeking Reports On Hive Roaster

Is anyone here using the Data Dome with the Hive Roaster? Wondering if there are a few instructions out there to hook it up to a data bridge, etc... My old Nesco that someone gifted me finally broke down. It served me well, but looking for a small to medium upgrade

Profitec Pro 800 piston gaskets

Agreed. I use filtered water from the fridge. Not ideal, I know. But it is filtered after all, right? I plan to plumb in the machine...but waiting until we do a big kitchen rehab. I'm open to suggestions!
