The maker's water guidance
From Olympia Express's guidance for this model.
Total hardness: 6 °dH
“We recommend a hardness grade from about 6 °dh (us: 0.336 ppm CaCO₃)”
Water type
“Apart from the taste, there is also another reason why you should not use hard water. Limescale can cause crust formation in the pipes and the boiler and thus cause slow water flow.”
Descaling
“The more calciferous the water, the more the boiler has to be descaled. We suggest you have your machine descaled by our local service-providers at least once a year.”
