That's good advise from Barry. What happened was that when the solenoid clicked to refill the steam boiler it released the pressure from the group. I think when the group just sits pressurized with the pump off it's around five bar while the steam path is around 1.2.. It's really taking that much water to clean out? Unless my logic is wrong, I wouldn't think that the second it takes for the solenoid to click over would be enough to pull that much cafiza up.
