Too much descaling can eat away at the metals and gaskets inside an espresso machine hastening replacement.
We do not recommend descaling this machine unless there is an issue with the espresso machine. Do not use distilled water, purified water, nor reverse osmosis water as these waters create oxidation with the metals and cause the same damaging effects as limescale. Softened water is water without calcium and magnesium, but still has other minerals for espresso extraction. To increase the useful life of and not damage your espresso machine, you should be using softened water. Any damage to these components are not considered a manufacturer's defect. #ECM MECHANIKA V SLIM INSTALL#
