Hi. I moved to a rural location and have a plumbed machine. I find many articles about city water or recipes for unplumbed but not for tank water. Rainwater comes off several roofs and we have two concrete tanks.

I'm using the same type of omnipure filter I was using in the...

Compressa ordered. I have a dedicated 1/4 compression (ice maker) outlet that I'll use for this.

I'm somewhat familiar with water chemistry and LSI/CSI through swimming pools (trouble free pool anyone?), but I'm a little overwhelmed with figuring out the right setup for my new...

Thanks to this forum, learned a lot about water, which unfortunately pulled me down to a new rabbit hole :D

Anyways, I ended up liking this custom water recipe:
20 GH - Epsom Salt concentrate
50 KH - Baking Soda Concentrate
RO Water as the base

Above recipe seems to be...

I use RO water and add an appropriate amount of potassium bicarbonate to my water to make a Dr P recipe. The TDS is usually about 18 before adding the potassium bicarbonate and about 100 afterwards.

Wondering if there would be any benefit if I used BWT limescale protection...

Hi friends, I just got the API kit to test my brita-filtered water hardness for my new La Marzocco Linea Micra. I ran both KH and GH on unfiltered tap water and the water filtered through my brita.

Unfiltered Tap: KH 1(17.8 ppm) and GH 3 (53.4 ppm)
Filtered Brita: KH 1 (17.8...

Hi everyone,

I got some similar questions as another gentleman from this forum about the water filter selection after the whole house water softening system.

I would like to kindly ask for your expert advice about the setting that I find myself in. I want to install a water...

Hi there,

I just got my first home espresso machine, the new La Marzocco Linea Micro. Immediately I got deep into the water rabbit hole :shock: :shock: wasting hours of my life in the process!!

It seems to me I can use Aqua Panna, although that would be on the harder side.

Hi all!
I am in need of help, if possible. I've been getting a metallic taste in my water coming out of the group on my GS3. This flavor has brought an intense and very noticeable characteristic to my coffee. I have been using water with a very low TDS (25 ppm), mineralized...

Hello, I'm just doing a bit of research on the BWT jug and filters. On YT, comments from the official channel recommend discarding water after 24 hours if its been in the jug.

Would the same recommendations apply to water in a reservoir? I've seen the BWT jugs and pouches...
