Re: Descaling a vibiemme junior (or senior)
I was a naughty boy and used my GPP for 2 months without water filtration.......i checked the mushroom just before i installed the filter and it was COVERED in the initial stages of scale, green semi attached goo, when i say covered, it literally was covered, about 2-3mm thick, i descaled it with chriss guidance, then installed the scale filtration and its now clean as a whistle....12 months down the track
Depending on your location, without filtration, your machine WILL fail in time, i would suggest in worst case scenario, in under 12 months......
Bombora has some articles that cover australias "typical" water hardness levels based on location, its a general guide only though.
cheers

PS ive heard some of the site sponsors that service these machines on a daily basis tell some horror stories about scale and machine destruction......its not something you want to put off till next week ;D

The ones that attach to your aerator might be my best bet.
