PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS

 

This equipment must be installed to comply with the applicable federal, state or local plumbing codes. 
WATER TREATMENT IS REQUIRED TO PRESERVE THE FULL MACHINE WARRANTY. Please ensure that the 
incoming water complies with the warranty requirements listed on page 8.

 

Using the provided stainless steel braided hose, connect the pump to the shutoff valve on the filtered cold 
water line. Fittings on the hoses and pumps are 

3/8” 

tube compression. Thread sealant or Teflon tape is 

not necessary. Make connections snug, but do not over tighten.

 

Turn incoming water ON and check for leaks.

 

Synesso machines require a minimum of 50 PSI (3.5 bar) of line pressure at 30 gal (120 L) per hour to have 
the auto

-

fill system for the steam tank functioning properly. Please ensure that the incoming water meets 

this requirement or contact Synesso for alternative methods of boosting water pressure.
