Reply #11: hey H2S i gotta ask you a question about your Saecos. I have had mine

[NMDemDist2]

for almost four years and other than a set of burrs, haven't had to do a thing to it and you have had to have both of yours worked on so...... my question. Do you turn them off every night?

we put an average of 10-15 double shots a day through ours day in and day out. no probs on an older magic deluxe, BUT we NEVER turn it off. and (I am embarrassed to admit) my home machine gets very short shrift on the whole "maintenance" thing (my commercial machine is babied and professionally maintained quarterly, daily maintenance by me)

i'm confused and wondering if you turn them off. that is the only thing I can figure why you'd have the troubles with them :crazy:

edit to add, or your water? we use Arizona high country spring water with no filtration on ours and have had to de-scale twice in 4 years :shrug:
