Hi,
Have been reading through reviews and trying to refine my choice of a HX coffee machine purchase (Expobar Leva, La Cimbali/Faema, Wega Mini Nova, giotto etc- my old FAEMA Family has died) and wanting to confirm if any of the tank versions (non plumbed) can be retrofitted to a plumbed-in version by means of tapping a drain plug in drip tray, override autofill solenoid to boiler and hooking in a feed line. I have read a few comments that vibratory (Ulka) pumps don't like positive pressure and thats why most plumbed in machines have rotary pumps. Is this the case? Or will it be just a gradual death tot eh pump? Or can you just include a pressure regulator on the feed in line?
Another point is that are some machines easier to work on to make this modification without destroying the overall look of the machine?
Many thanks and interested to hear your thoughts.
Cheers
Eddie
