    Excellent point Ntg...

    Not personally familiar with the R58 so didn't realise it used one of these. Have heard a lot of pro and con arguments about the use of Ceramic Mushrooms though...

      Backflush wont prevent descale but is sound advise to perform after each session. As above use proper filtered and softened water.

      Wow ceramic mushroom. Can it be replaced with an old fashioned material one?

      Cheers

        I tried a metal replacement version, but there was nothing i could find with the correct clearances, however i am sure there will be a replacement out there somewhere.

            Do your best to avoid scale, here's a commercial machine that's been running on unfiltered tap water for a few years.
            Needless to say the repair bill won't be cheap.
