Re: vibration pump/OPV for brewtus III

minor update: I just did the pump check , and with the blind disc in holding pressure, I'm only getting a very slow drip from the return tube back to the water tank - not the 1 oz-ish in 12 seconds. This most likely suggests the pump is on its way

good to hear you solved it! It's been a few days since - do you think the fix has been permanent at least up to this point? On Wednesday, 22 January 2020 09:39:51 UTC-5, Richard wrote: > > The repair was temporary. After a few shots, the fluctuating brew pressure >> problem returned. >> > >

Greetings! As the title suggests, some of you may be aware of paddle + valve assembly addition for Lelit machines that basically give you the Bianca's flow profiling features, and is supposed to work with compatible e61 groups from other manufacturers as well (but not all). It's available at

In the end, I'm not sure what it was since I un-kinked the tube AND changed the OPV to 10 bar from 12-13 in one go. My guess it was the latter OPV adjustment that fixed it. Wasn't scientific enough to adjust it back to see if I could reproduce the error condition... :P Didn't get any new

I had something very similar , and if you read further back you'll see comments suggesting its related to either the OPV or the pump, or both. But it is not definitive which is exactly at fault. Personally I did the WLL's drain tube

That was a pretty good deal IMO for the B-IV. and Tyrone's deal was actually not bad either (unless machines go for a lot less in your city compared to Montreal ;) I picked up a 2009 B-III for $1800CAD late last year, but it did come with a pretty new grinder so it wasn't a *terrible* deal.

Hi Naveed, I looked at the pictures, and assuming the imgur link is referring to the exact machine, then it is not a Office Leva, but rather a Leva 2 and given its vintage, would be identical to a Brewtus III - a dual boiler with PID for the brew boiler. This is a significantly more featured

>From here, when you activate the microswitch behind the brew lever (with or without the card thing), do you hear the pump going? If not, then there's some electrical issue between the switch, control board, and pump. If the pump buzzes but no water flows, then it's probably a clog in the group
