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...

Good morning everyone.

I can't count how many hours I've been on this forum in the last 3 weeks but I finally decided to make up a login and get in the action. I got a Breville Oracle Touch (BES990BSS1BUS1) for Christmas and I want to get the most of out it that I can. We have...

What's the most convenient way to get/produce water for low volume home use, assuming I'll be adding some electrolytes..Buying a home distiller? Home reverse osmosis system? Ordering distilled water for delivery? I want to have a simple system that will never leave me having to...

TDS by meter is 45 ppm.

I'm testing pH with Aquacheck strips that I use for my spa. Whether or not these strips are best method, the...

I got a pop-up add for an electronic whole house descaler - brand name yarna.

is it safe to assume these are BS and if they worked we would all have them already?

I use RPavlis water in my Decent, but sometimes I still struggle with overly acidic espressos. Someone mentioned in another forum a while back that a strategy is to add a concentrate using a dropper right into the finished shot to dampen the acidity. The benefit of this being...

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know where I can get a 5 gallon water jug (empty or not) with gallon/liter measurement markings on it? Yes, I know I can make my own on any jug but this would save the time of measuring (2L at a time). Thanks in advance.
