  • 6910 water filter.

    Hi all
    My s/h 6910m needs the water filter replaed. I only use filterd water anyway so is the any need for me to use the tank filter?

    I only use filtered Melbourne water. I tossed mine away. Make sure you are doing regular Chemical back flushing however.

        What type of filtered water? My understanding is the filter for the EM6910 reduces scale, which most drinking water filtration systems (such as Brita or PuraTap) do not.

          This is my understanding as well.

          I would also expect the tank scale filter would have a volume life so the more water you use the sooner the filter needs to be changed.

            Does that mean the filter in the water reservoir is a sodium/calcium ion exchange device?

            Certainly refreshing it by a saline soak would be much cheaper than SB prices.

              Tis what I am led to believe...


              Now I am sure that is some one was to ASK SB and or do their own research... What other types might there be ?

              Dont take my word as gospel on this one; just yet.

                Its called a Pure Water System filter which is hooked into the sink tap. My understanding is that it filters out calcium and stuff like that. How much notice can you take of sales people then, when I was looking at buying a new 6910 at Myers they pointed out the filter in the tank as a feature and commented that if you use filtered water then you would not even need the filter.

                  Go to your local aquarium shop and invest $25 or so in a hardness test kit.
                  Then youll know what your tap water is like, and what the filter puts out.
                  Anything else is just guesswork, and at a price that is less than 1kg of coffee its a bargain.

                    How much is a filter?

                    Contact the bank and take a second mortgage  :

                    I replaced mine the other week and I cannot remember how much it cost, nor care.

                      hi
                      as AM says, you can rejenerate them

                      should be done at least monthly

                      when descaling machine, remove filter, as descal can damage the resin particles

                      water filters reduce the amount of scale / hardness in the water, but unless you are using filters that cost $200, then that is all you are doing, is reducing

                      6900/10 are very very suseptacle to scale problems
                      as are all thermoblock units

                      most steaming/ temperature problems are associated with lack of descaling or not replacing calc filters

                      i reccomend descaling a sunbeam at least every 3 months

                      and no this isnt an add for selling more descaling tablets or anti calc filters

                        Nice one Graham, sound advice.

                        I descale every 3 months, if not sooner, and remove the filter during the operation. It just made sense to me.

                        We also replace the filter every 6 to 12 as per recommendations.

                        Bottom line, if you cant afford to buy a new filter there is a whole lot going wrong somewhere else.
