determIne Water hardness
Before installing the coffee system, determine the water
hardness level by doing one of the following:
Use the water hardness test strips included with the
appliance to test the water hardness level of the water
supplied to the building where the coffee system will be
installed. Dip the strip in a cup of water from a faucet
and read the hardness level according to the color key
included with the test strips.
Call the local water company. Ask them for the water
hardness level of the water supplied to the building
where the coffee system will be installed.
For Model CM24T-1 (Tank Model):
If the water hardness level is above four grains per
gallon (4 gpg) you must use filtered water with a
hardness of 4 gpg or less. Do not use distilled water.
If the water hardness level is below 4 gpg, you may
use tap water in the coffee system. Filtered water is
recommended for better taste.
For Model CM24P-1 (Plumbed Model):
If the water hardness is above 4 grains per gallon
(4gpg) contact a water treatment specialist. Have a
water treatment system installed that lowers the water
hardness level to 4 gpg or less.
•
•
•
•
1.
Regardless of the type of water treatment system
installed, you must install the ACFS flushing system
kit included with model CM24P-1. The coffee system
requires periodic decalcification regardless of the water
hardness level. The filter head included in the kit is
required to perform this process for model CM24P-1.
Attach the included bypass module to the filter head.
If the water supply is unfiltered, you may attach the
optional filter cartridge (Dacor P/N ACWF) to the filter
head to improve water taste.
