Hi

I have a 1 year old lelit elizabeth which began to show pressure issues. Even with blind basket it takes 15-20sec to reach 9bar pressure, while previously it would need only a couple of seconds. What could be the issue?

Steam pressure wand and water dispenser works fine.

Thanks

Could be limescale related....depending on the water used. Does the flow rate from the group look normal when doing a water flush or shot with no preinfusion functions on?

I think the waterflow is weaker than it should be.
