Make a more delicious espresso drink today! This in-tank, rechargeable water softener will do the trick. It will remove more of the mineral content from your questionable tap water before it hits the boiler and waterworks. It will work on any espresso machine that has an intake hose down in the water tank. Simply hook it up to the hose and you are good to go.

You can also recharge these resin water softeners by putting one in a glass with a few tablespoons of kosher salt (or any other non-iodized, additive-free salt) and water solution. Depending on your usage and water quality, this could be as often as once per week or less. With the Resin Water Softener, it's easy to keep your espresso machine in tip-top condition!

John H: It depends on the hardness of your water and the amount of water used. Do a web search "how to calculate water softener capacity" and there are sites that tell you how to calculate how long this will last. But note this is for a much larger unit.

If you have very hard water and are using this for a coffee shop you will need to use a system designed for household. It can be regenerated by using salt water. Just dissolve some salt in warm water. then you will need to push this through the container. Then flush it with some bottle water for best results.

If you are using city water also add a carbon filter to remove the chlorine.

Matthew W: I've read in various forms that you can recharge the cartridge by soaking it in a salt water solution. I use a cup that will hold the cartridge fully submerged, then dissolve as much non-iodized salt as the warm water will take, then submerge the cartridge overnight. I then rinse it a little just to get the extra salt crystals not absorbed by the resin, and re install. I can tell the resin is still working after a year because the water in the tank is soft (wet surfaces feel like they have soap on them). Feb 5, 2013

Teri KStaff: This Resin Water Softener does need to be recharged from time to time, based on your usage. For an average use of about 2 drinks a day, I'd suggest recharging the filter once a month. This can be done by soaking the filter in water with a few tablespoons of kosher salt (or any other non-iodized, additive-free salt). Feb 5, 2013

vito M: You can recharge it by soaking it in kosher salt water.

Let it sit for a few hours, then flush with clean water.

If you attach a straw or hose to it you can pull clean water through it and till there is no longer a salt taste.

Teri KStaff: This Resin Water filter attaches to the hose of your machine. For an alternative that just sits loose in the tank, check out the Rocket Resin Filter, at the link below:

This seems to work well. I don't know for a fact that this device his helping with mineral build up, (have not had to clean it yet). Our water did not have a real high amount of minerals, so this device does not seem to add the salt taste that some report. I think if your water has a high mineral content, then this device would have to work harder and could add more salt flavor to your drink.

It is good piece of mind IMO, and I only plan on recharging it once a month. This is based off of the rate of softening required for my water.

Pros:
Easy To Use

Cons:
