Gents.... I return bearing good news, and also as a way to thank you all for your rapid, in depth, and considerate input. i report back also to demystify any future owners about this topic.
It turns out that Ira was right. What was the issue? There was no issue..."The big take away is that the pump delivering 8 bar is standard here. During the warm up period the boilers draw power away from the pump at that time so it will register a bit lower until the boilers are at temp/pressure" I am looking forward to be an overjoyed owner of a Brewtus, and hope to learn its ins and outs, and give back to the community! A final set of questions (happy to start new thread if that is the preferred community discipline): 1) Tools needed: What is the minimal set of tools to have to maintain this machine? I just have a variable wrench and a set of basic torque thing + wrench tips. Do I need a multimeter? anything else thats not in a standard basic toolbox? 2) Supplies needed: Have cafiza for monthly backflushes, anything else needed on the cleaning consumables front? Any grease for the E61 lever, and if so how often? 3) Water requirements: i live in NYC, soft water <50ppm. What is a relatively safe water setup thats low cost? I dont want to buy single use plastic water bottles for this, but open to filter or similar systems you guys used? plan to stick to reservoir for now. I am lost between the filter pouches like BWT, Brita or jug based systems, or just straight tap...Just want this baby to last forever... haha -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
