Thank you for watching and for your kind words.

We have been using John Guest in our showroom and for commercial installations for years without any problems.

Unfortunately the Rocket Appartamento cannot be plumbed in. If your water is very hard (20 grains per gallon or higher) then I wouldn't recommend a BWT type filter anyways as it will get used up very quickly and become expensive. Really the only solution is what you are doing.

Hi, I don't see any reason why you can't leave it in litres. You shouldn't have any issues

A rotary pump generally costs about $300-$500 (CAD) more than a vibration pump for the same machine. The main value that you get is the ability to plumb the machine in, a rotary pump is significantly quieter than a vibration and better longevity. The failure rate on rotary pumps is lower than vibe pumps, much lower. You have to decide if this is worth while. But it sounds like you are making 15 or more drinks a day, that's a decent amount, normally I would recommend a rotary for this type of use.

@@iDrinkCoffeeCanada thanks folks, I’m pretty sure I will go rotary but wanted your unbiased opinion. Thanks!!

Hi, if you have an RO system you do not need to descale and you do not require additional filtration. This filter uses an ion exchange to soften the water, it's just another method of achieving the same result. Reverse Osmosis also removes just about everything from water leaving you with pure h2o

For most installions it shouldn't be necessary unless your hose is quite long. I would consult a plumber to be sure though as that is really beyond my expertise

The new head has a built in flush valve so you do not have to purchase it. This makes changing filters easier because you have to flush a filter before use.

@@iDrinkCoffeeCanada Thanx! Unfortunately, in a condo it can be plumbed only using an aluminium pipe (not a flexible pipe), which means the machine will be not movable on the countertop, so no plumbing for me. :-(

We carry a generic one but pretty much any kind will work. It's not a complicated piece of equipment. Just make sure it has fittings that are compatible with your setup

@@iDrinkCoffeeCanada I formulated the question wrong. I already have the water filter set up and installed already ( purchased form your store together with the ECM machine). I have a pressure regulator set up for 2 bar ( as read by the Synchronika gauge). Would you recommend leaving it at that or change to another setting (eg. 3 bar)?

@@andyp8596 I'm sorry, I misread your question. You were asking about the pressure. 2-3 bars is fine. The pump does the rest.

@@iDrinkCoffeeCanada Thank you. Looking forward to buying the flow control device.

@@iDrinkCoffeeCanada is the bar set when the water is stopped or when flowing?

You can, however the fitting I was using had gaskets so it was not required

Hi, thanks for checking in. We are doing well, it's been a tumultuous time for sure but it has for everyone. We have started shooting new videos again and will be posting very soon
