Water Softener Cartridge for Rancilio Silvia.
Reduces damaging minerals from hard water
Rated for 450 shots before recharging
Fits inside water reservoirs with a hose intake to the pump (7mm connection)Measures 133mm tall; 59mm diameterScale buildup is the number one
problem of boiler failure. It can lead to premature steam valve leakage,
heating coil corrosion and even pump failure. Use this Rancilio water
softener with your Silvia or Epoca ST1 to reduce those damaging
minerals from your hard water. Don't be lulled into a false sense of
security with those filters on the end of your sink or inside your
refrigerator; they only remove chlorine and other taste-altering
impurities. Unlike other kinds of filters, you only have to buy the
Rancilio water softener once a year if recharged regularly with a
saturated saline solution. Descaling will still be necessary and should
be scheduled based on the frequency of use and the hardness of the raw
water supply
