I recently purchased an Used Elektra T-1 commercial 1 group for
$180.00. I drove it right to the Local Elektra dealer for a good
testing and found a few problems but so far I'm getting it back with
about $300 worth of repairs including a bottomless PF for it. My
question is that this is a plumbed in commercial machine with a procon
pump and 6 liter boiler and I would like to avoid scaling it all up. I
live in San Diego and the water Hardness is the highest in the
country. I was initially considering getting an R.O. system but the
boiler refill and possible problems with copper tubing has me
concerned, plus this machine requires 25psi of positive line pressure.
I have seen quite a few espresso machines with the 8 litre metal
rechargeable water softeners, will that do the job? Do you have to add
any other filters after these for any reason? If this is the best
route, whats a reasonable price for this?

I've seen RO outfits at Costco for $169.00. do not know if they still
have them. but I am certain you could do RO for under 200.

I'd just get the replacables. and I don't see how you could OVER do
it.

I have seen those. At costco online they have actually come down to
$139.00, in store they are $200. If I was to go that route that's what
I would buy. However, R.O. systems are rediculously huge including the
reservoir and take up way too much undersink space IMO. So I would
like to avoid it, if I can. The 8L softener would be my next choice as
long as it works and I don't need another filter for taste, and to
trap stuff coming out of it, etc. But I'm really hoping this $28
filter works supposedly it filters to 10 microns for up to a year on
what I would be using it for. I plan on testing it with water hardness
strips.
