Newbie question here. Done to death I'm sure but I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
I am about the pull the trigger on an ECM synchronika and I want to make sure I'm feeding it water that isn't too hard with the intention of reducing limescale build up.
Well it's getting harder to find distilled in FL now to make your own. Nobody has had any for 2 weeks and that's been happening sporadically last few months. Not even Publix, I managed to get just 1 gallon of some company called Pure Life never seen here for distilled at almost...
While I'm somewhat patiently (OK, not so patiently) waiting for my Linea Micra to arrive, I've been getting a few details sorted out. One detail is getting an easy process for making rpavlis water figured out. We have a whole-house water softener, and a Rayne Eradicator...

I love all things coffee but go cross-eyed and day-dream when researching water. I did rpavis water for a bit but fell off in favor of LM's suggestion of Crystal Geyser Salem Spring water. I can get them in 1 gallon at my local grocery for $1 per gallon. I use it both for brew...
As our water at home is extremely hard (29 to 31 fH degrees), we used for our Lelit Bianca a mix of bottled waters: Volvic and another local brand with few minerals, making a good combination in terms of TDS and minerals. Unfortunately, the local water got dismissed, and since I...
I'd like to try alternatives to Third Wave Water for pour overs with light roast coffees, and can use advice on the best place to begin without getting overly lost into exponentially more variables (seems to be the trend with a coffee hobby :D )...
