Low water pressure supply to coffee machines

Post by Lee@BIGBAPS »

I have two coffee machines in a canteen but the water supply has intermittently low pressure.

It's triggering the fill timeout error, machines are a Stentorfield fusion and an evolution.

Could I use a powered water pump to store a bit of water and then pump it in before the machines cut out?

Where could I find one?

Cheers

Yeh same error message at the same times when pressure is low, the site have recognised the problem and say they are fixing their own water supply so I won't need to do anything now.

Which pump would I have used? For future reference.

Thanks.

Ive got a made up test rig I use that runs off a barrel of water. But it would be quite complex to run in parallel with water supply as its a pressurised feed.
