The maker's water guidance
From Nuova Simonelli's guidance for this model.
Hardness, highest: up to 50 ppm
“Water hardness cannot exceed 3gpg or 50 ppm.”
Softened water: up to 3 gpg
“If water hardness exceeds 3gpg a water softener must be installed.”
Water type
“Monitoring of water recipe to keep it within required levels and maintenance of filtration system is the user's responsibility.”
Total hardness: 5–6 °fH
“Failing to meet and maintain water at the following levels will void the entire warranty: • Total hardness 50-60 ppm (parts per million) (5-6 French degrees (°F));”
The maker's own guidance conflicts on this point. We show each line and pick none.
Total dissolved solids (TDS): 50–250 ppm
“TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) level between 50 - 250 ppm;”
Total alkalinity: 10–150 ppm
“Alkalinity level between 10 - 150 ppm;”
Total chlorine: up to 0.5 mg/L
“Chlorine level less than 0.50 mg/l;”
pH: 6.5–8.5
“Ph level between 6.5 and 8.5.”
Plumbed-in water: 2–4 bar
“Water line pressure between 2 - 4 bar and water to be cold;”
Plumbed-in water: at least 200 l/hr
“Min flow rate: 200 l/hr;”
Water filter: up to 1 micron
“Filtration level below 1.0 micron;”
Hardness, highest: up to 3 gpg
“Water hardness cannot exceed 3gpg or 50 ppm.”
Softened water: up to 3 gpg
