Steam Boiler issues
Posted: Sun Dec 03, 2017 11:35 am
Greetings all. I apologize if this has been written before but I’m not able to efficiently browse through the forums on my phone.
I’m in charge of a restaurant’s coffee bar build and we’re using a brand new S1 Vivaldi II. It’s been working flawlessly up until now.
The problem that I am seeing is that the steam boiler’s pressure is going beyond 1.35 in the red zone. As it heats up, I can hear a constant hiss. Eventually, the steam pops out of the pressure release valve. I can still steam milk to drop the pressure but I have to manually turn off the boiler once it begins hissing to prevent it from releasing.
The machine is brand new and we are using a water filter. I wonder if something got disconnected or if there’s an issue with the temp probe, over pressure safety valve, water level probe or boiler vacuum breaker valve. I can’t be too sure since it’s so new and not heavily used. (2 weeks old so far)
I am a relative novice with espresso anatomy but I did take some videos which I can upload to youtube.
Crossing my fingers it’s nothing too serious!
