    • With moderately hard water, it improves water softness but not quite to scale-free levels
Review Image by David L. David L.
I am using this filter with a Profitec Pro 500 espresso machine. It doesn't use a filler tube, but it comes with a silicone tube that fits over the water outlet in the bottom of the tank while the other end of the tube attaches to this filter. See photo for details. I am very anal-retentive about my water hardness. I measure it using the API GH & KH test kit that is sold by Amazon. My tap water has a GH (hardness) of around 125 to 14o ppm and a KH (alkalinity) of about 70-110 ppm. If you are serious about the quality of water you use in your espresso machine, you need to read "Jim Schulman's Insanely Long Water FAQ" (a web search will easily find it). Jim recommends that the sum of hardness plus alkalinity not exceed 80 to avoid having to descale your espresso machine. Prior to getting this filter, I used BWT Bestsave in-tank pouches to soften my water. I measured the BWT pouch treated water. Water hardness was reduced to 50-70 ppm and alkalinity to about 55 ppm. The pouches cost $15 and last two months. And the sum of hardness plus alkalinity exceeds the target of 80. This resin filter reduces hardness, but not alkalinity. After installation, i measured my tap water with the filtered water output from the group. At this time my unfiltered tap water had hardness of 125 ppm and alkalinity of 70 ppm. The filtered water had hardness reduced to 35 PPM while the alkalinity was unchanged at 70 ppm. Although the hardness was reduced to a much lower level than I got with the BWT pouches, the sum of hardness and alkalinity slightly exceeds Jim Schulman's target of 80. So I will still occasionally descale my espresso machine. However, this filter should be much more economical than the pouches, as it should last much longer than 2 months. These types of resin filters usually need recharging by soaking in salt water and last 6 months. I haven't had mine long enough to know how often recharging will be necessary or what its lifetime is. I intend periodically measure the filter output to see when recharging or replacement is necessary. To conclude, I recommend this filter, but I also recommend you test your filtered water hardness to see if your espresso machine still needs to be descaled. ... show more

    • It works
I've been using these for many years. Hard water is one of the great crema killers, and these water softeners are the perfect fix. If you're pulls begin to produce less crema over time, you can usually extend the life of this type of softener by soaking it in a solution of water and table salt.

    • No instructions
I installed straight out of the package just as I did the 2 filters supplied with my Expobar. Unlike those, it choked the brand new pump I just installed. So I soaked it in a glass of water like a Brita filter: problem solved! This is why instructions are advisable if the company wants to sell more product. This is an interim review, as this is literally day 1. I have a 2-stage whole house filter, so this filter is just added protection for my boiler. ... show more

    • It helps with flavor of coffee
This little filter really helps with the flavor of my espresso. We have a whole house filter system and I thought we didn’t need it, but there is a difference on the taste and I will always use it. It last long time (mine lasted 3 years and I don’t know if it has to do with a house filter).

    • Excellent
This little thing is great. Note: I'm not using as directed, I actually McGuyvered a water softening bottle out of this, a 32oz Nalgene bottle, and some silicone sealer. My only gripe is the water comes out with an incredibly high TDS level, which makes sense I guess. Specifically, after running 250+ hardness water with about 285 TDS through this, it comes out on the low side between 50 and 120, but with around 325 TDS. I then run it through a Brita pitcher to take it down to 30-50 hardness and about 275 TDS. ... show more

    • Should include a weight to make it "universal". The thing floats! :(
If your tank doesn't have a mounting location compatible with this unit, it will float to the top and suck in air instead of water. To be universal, it should include a piece to weigh it down so it sits on the bottom of the tank.

    • Saving money and the environment from distilled water plastic containers.
The filter is easy to install, and you’re saving money by not having to buy distilled water anymore.

    • No Good For A Podstar machine
Plastic container that holds the filter softner doesnt fit in my machine. The bottom part is too big. So I emptied the powder softner into my plastic holder. Cross your fingers that it continues to work because the machine is old but works great.
