    progress!
    had two different blokes in oakleigh help me out.
    one guy chopped my handle for 10 bucks, so now im naked.
    another guy tapped and drilled the 10mm studs to 6mm studs. machine feels nice and sturdy. nice to go back to the naked for the visuals. not quite tapping into the sweetness of the blend ive gogt atm so need to play a little.

    progress!
    1. getting taller 8cm spaz feet with 10mm thread, will have an engineer rethread to 6mm and slap em under her.
    2. got my drain hose hooked up today. 19mm reinforced hose, elbow and plumbers tape, drilled hole into drip tray, added some silicon tubing to the underside of the hole to fit INTO the elbow, clamped the hose to the base of the machine with rivets, drain hose out the splashback down into an external drain. i needed the drip tray to be removable to access the internals and also for an occasional clean up.
    no leaks at all, until i drew HEAPS of hot water from the hot water spigot, then some overflow, but for normal operating conditions, it is simply leak free and im a happier camper.

    purchased some rubber feet that are double the length of the standard feet. well see how they go in terms of allowing a nice slope for the hose beneath the drip tray.

    The typical hardness level of water delivered in South East Waters area is between 12.5 - 13.5mg/l. This means that the water being supplied to South East Water customers is considered "soft" by international standards - it is easy for soap to lather and the water feels soft to touch.
    100 mg/L is still good.

    Youll be okay for now. South East Water quotes their water hardness at 15 to 20 mg/L which is really soft.
    Wow, really?

    We really suck in Brisbane at 100 mg/L

    spro down def in order

    sweet that youre done rebuilding your little baby
    hows bout some pics of your setup?

    filter atm is the basic one they sent with the machine - not a carbon filter. ill leave it for now but change the filter maybe in six or so months, then ill prob look at water hardness and softening

    Congrats on the new kit Roknee and Im glad that youre happy and that all is well with your machine.

    For those thinking of a rotary pump Vivaldi II, there is one left in Australia with new stocks quite some months (6+?) away and they will be dramatically more expensive.

    Drop me a line if interested...

    When youre up and running maybe we should have a spro down...hahaha

    I just finished putting together my Brugnetti. Ready to make some espresso....just need to get my Compak K10 back...dont think the Rocky will do. My machine towers over the rocky.

    So what water filter cartridge did you end up using?
