We’re proud to have been working with WaterCare for several years and feel their aims and values around sustainability and prolonging equipment life align greatly with our own. WaterCare is driven by a desire to create water treatment solutions that benefit the environment as well as the water they treat.

When choosing the right WaterCare water treatment for your espresso machine, there are a few factors to keep in mind. Read our step-by-step guide so you can find the right water treatment solution for you.

Step 1

First of all, you will have to understand the quality of your water. Assess the hardness, mineral content, and any impurities that might be present in your tap water.

Step 2 

Second of all, you need to consider the capacity of the filter you’re interested in purchasing. You have to determine how much water the filter can treat before having to be replaced. Usually, you can find this information from the filter manufacturer. Do consider how much you use your espresso machine and how frequently you’re willing to change your filter.

Step 3

Ensure that the water filter system you choose is compatible with your specific espresso machine model. Some espresso machines may require specific connections or have proprietary filter systems. Speak to the manufacturer or check the machine’s documentation to confirm the compatibility information.

Step 4

Consider the ongoing costs. Once you have determined which types of water filters suit your needs, it’s important to also factor in the ongoing costs, as the filters will have to be replaced at regular intervals.
