      Assuming 200ppm TH, that would likely put TDS at >300ppm. If it were my machine, I'd be going bottled or RO.

        Here's an example just in from Mt Gambier. 6 month old machine on everpure filtration and scale reduction...

          All I know is tread carefully with some of the filtration stores locally, some of the people I came across were on par with used car salesman.
          How much reject water is there from domestic RO? Do you need to rechlorinate it after?

          Im thinking if RO water can filter out fluoride, might change my mind about it.

              It varies, not quite suburb by suburb, but close, some also include surface water via dams. It also varies seasonally. Their annual report gives you an idea, but if you email them they can give you a longer average which is better. Best bet however is samples direct from your tap. Swimming pool shops will give you detailed numbers if you take a sample in. Worth the money in my opinion given what we're spending on the machines.

                Yeow.... Descale that and it will melt! So no scale reduction for me. So far my mushroom is good, but elements are more vulnerable me thinks!

                  So looking at range of bottled water at shops.

                  Ive seen pureau water has 0.02 TDS. Wtf how is that good human consumption.. maybe i should buy that and mix it with 20% tap water.

                  What is acceptable total hardness range for a coffee machine? 20-30?

                  Cheers

                      Well i have been feeding mount franklin water to my machine. Probably alot better than tap water.

                      Anyone been using bottle water for their machine that can recommend good bottle water?
