HELP!!!!
I used some citric acid (about 50gm for each grouphead) to clean the scale build-up in the jets of my 2 group. It was introduced into the top of each group via a funnel after removing the large chrome nut that is situated there. The citric acid sat there as the machine heated up, then was flushed through by pouring a shot of water. Blue "copper looking" water came through and ran to clear after a litre or so of H2O went through. I did not put any citric acid directly into the boiler.
It did the job beautifully, cleaning the calcium build up that was clogging the jet filters but I am concerned that some of the citric acid may have found its way into the boiler. The water that is delivered through the portafilters has a slight metallic/acid taste.
I was going to drain and re-fill the boiler a few times to dilute the citric acid that might be in there whilst my partner is off buying a pH test kit from an aquarium.
Should I be concerned about anything more than the taste. ie. damage to the boiler etc.
If so, what should I do?
