Step 4B: Connect Water Line
For machines with hot water
IMPORTANT: Before connecting a water treatment system to your espresso
machine, rinse the system by running water through it for at least two (2) minutes.
Failure to follow this step will result in equipment damage. Read the Water
Treatment Requirements on pages 6-7 for information about avoiding and
addressing water-related issues.
Parts and tools:
•
40”x3/8” braided stainless steel hose
•
Two (2) 60”x3/8” braided stainless steel hoses (with 90-degree fittings)
•
Wrench
Procedure:
1. Use the shorter, 40”x3/8” braided hose to connect the water treatment
system outlet to the pump inlet.
2. Use one of the longer, 60”x3/8” hoses to connect the pump outlet to the
espresso machine water inlet (located at the bottom-rear of the machine).
‣
The end with the 90-degree fitting should connect to the espresso
machine.
3. Use another of the longer, 60”x3/8” braided hoses to connect the T-fitting on
the pump to the hot water mix-valve inlet on the espresso machine (located
near the drip tray).
‣
The end with the 90-degree fitting should connect to the espresso
