Water system parts for espresso machines
Before water reaches the boiler or group, it travels through tanks, tubing, fittings and sensors. When one of these parts fails, you may see leaks, a machine that will not fill, or a boiler that heats without water.
Reservoirs
A water tank is a model-specific part, so check it against your machine's name, such as a Bezzera, Francis Francis or Wega model. A cracked tank, a worn seal or a missing valve in the base are common reasons to replace one.
Level probes
A level probe senses the water level in a boiler so auto-fill works and the heating element does not run dry. Length matters, which is why several sizes are listed. A probe can also stop reading accurately when scale builds up on the tip.
Hoses and fittings
Elbows, blind nuts, reduction joints and push-fit connectors are sized by thread and tube diameter, commonly 1/8, 1/4 and 3/8 inch. Measure carefully or bring the old part to a showroom, because a connector that looks right can still be the wrong size.
Before you start
Switch the machine off, let it cool and release pressure. If the job involves a boiler, our workshop can take it on. The team can also help with part numbers and compatibility, whether you visit one of our showrooms or order online.
