How does the 700 compare with other brands for ease of servicing and maintenance?
@Wholelattelovepage
Жыл бұрын
Hi Lori, General maintenance is similar to other espresso machines as far as group cleaning and backflushing. A few things that make servicing the Pro 700 easier than similar machines are a simpler internal component layout - parts are easily accessible, boiler drains, mechanical valve on the plumbed in connection vs a solenoid used on many plumbable machines. We generally do not recommend end users descale dual boiler machines. But with the boiler drains it's more realistic. Perhaps the easiest to service dual boiler machine is the ECM Synchronika. It's identical internally to the Pro 700. The difference is the side and back panels are easier to remove. If purchasing a dual boiler machine we strongly recommend treating water to prevent scale in the first place by reducing calcium. We prefer systems made by BWT which exchange calcium in tap water with magnesium. If running from reservoir they have the Penguin Pitcher: www.wholelattelove.com/products/bwt-penguin-2-7-l-water-pitcher or Bestsave in reservoir pad filters: www.wholelattelove.com/products/bwt-bestsave-m-anti-scale-filter If plumbing to waterline use the Bestmax Premium in line filter: www.wholelattelove.com/products/bwt-bestmax-premium-filter-package-w-besthead-flex Hope that helps!

My understanding is that the key difference between Pro 700 and Pro 600 is the rotary pump vs vibration pump. Is upgrading to the rotary pump worth it? What impact does it have on the quality of espresso if any? Thanks!
@Wholelattelovepage
Жыл бұрын
Hi YD, Thanks for the question. Yes rotary pump in the Pro 700 and it's plumbable direct to waterline. Pro 700 also has larger boilers. Rotary pumps have a higher stock flow rate of ~11g/sec vs. ~7g/s for vibration pumps. Higher flow rate gives you more room to play especially when the machine is outfitted with flow control. Higher initial flow rates may produce better results on darker roasts.

Dear WLL, My front discharge on my plumbed Synchronika (2021 model) is leaking during extraction of coffee and when the machine is shut off. It is not leaking when the boiler is fully heated and neither when i use the blind filter pull the lever. Should I change the OPV? Or do you see any other approaches? BR Thomas
@Wholelattelovepage
Жыл бұрын
Hi Thomas, best course is to open the machine up and determine leak source during machine operation. Use caution when doing this. I suspect you are correct and it could be the OPV. The only sources feeding the drip tray discharge are the brew system OPV and vacuum relief on the steam boiler. Very unlikely the steam boiler vacuum relief would leak when the machine is off unless the solenoid controlling steam boiler filling is stuck open. When plumbed, line pressure is always present in the brew system of the machine so a leak when machine is off is most likely coming from that water source. Curious if you have a pressure regulator on your plumbed connection? ECM recommends maximum 2 bar pressure on the plumbed line. Lack of a regulator would not necessarily cause this issue but could over time have contributed.

Thank you WLL for your response. I have pressure regulator at the pressure is kept at aprox 1.5 bars. I Will try inspection, if it is the opv is it then possible to clean or fix it? Or should it be replaced?

@Wholelattelovepage
Жыл бұрын
Hi E.b, are you sure it came out of the safety valve and not the vacuum relief valve? If it was the safety valve it's either because the valve was defective or the boiler got too hot and triggered release to prevent boiler from reaching too high a pressure. For the vacuum relief, it's normal for a small amount of water to be released each time the machine heats up. If after the machine is fully heated water/steam continues to be released from the vacuum relief then the valve may be stuck open by limescale or other deposit. In that case, cleaning or replacing the valve will solve the issue.

Hi EvilT, Thanks for the question. The Pro 700 and Synchronika are essentially identical internally with same specs for boilers etc., same electronics system. ECM and Profitec are sister companies and both machine are made in the same facilty in Milan, Italy. Main difference is external casework and finishing with more detail and refinement on the Synchronika. Marc

Any tips with regards to shielding the relays from heat from the service boiler? I’ve seen people move them to the bottom, but was wondering if so aluminium foil or insulation might do the job?
@Wholelattelovepage

Hi Nick, Very rare to have any heat related issues with relays in the Pro 700. It's best to just make sure there is a good layer of heat transfer compound under them. The insulation around the boiler does a good job of shielding them.

@@Wholelattelovepage thanks for the reply! I'll have a look to see how they look underneath. It's quite an old machine by now. It's an odd one though, I'm still not sure the issue I'm having is the relays. But the machine seems to stop heating after a period of time, despite the PID showing a solid dot. The LEDs on both relays don't come on when it's not working and the symptoms persists until the machines cools back down. So far running the machine without the steam boiler on has stopped the malfunction. So I assumed it was the heat affecting them. But maybe something else is causing the issue. I'd experienced the issue before but then thought I'd managed to overcome it by back flushing the machine a few times and draining it. But after I lowered the pump pressure down to 8.5bar and restored the outer casing it started to reoccur.

There isn’t any thermal compound present, so I might add a layer there and see how it goes. The machine does seems to work well at first, then quickly loses ability to heat after running for a while. The little LED in the brew relay starts to become very dim before eventually cutting out.

That plastic t joint in my Synchronika has given me so much trouble, it turned brown and the water in the steam tank turned brown too. I changed it and it happened again. Now I exchanged it for a brass one, let's see how it goes.
@Wholelattelovepage
2 жыл бұрын
Hi AH, Sorry you are having issues with the T joint. Heads up, it is on an outflow from the boiler so has nothing to do with water color in your service boiler. Brown water in your boiler and in the T is more likely related to your water quality going into the boiler. Also, if not already doing so it's best practice to remove a cup or 2 of water from the boiler through the hot water wand now and then to prevent accumulation/concentration of minerals or other materials in the boiler.

Hi r, Assuming you are referring to the service boiler which produces steam? Yes, that needs some empty space (headspace) to hold a reserve of steam if filled 90% with water steam pressure would run out very quickly!
