Overview

The Vivreau Complete Water Test Kit is designed to test for  alkalinity, chlorine, iron, and most importantly chlorides. Chlorides levels are extremely important for machines with stainless steel boilers as too high of chlorides can cause pitting and deterioration for stainless steel components.  This test needs to be used in conjunction with the Vivreau Temporary Hardness Test Kit to determine what kind of filtration system you need.

Chloride Test Results

While the other parameters are important, Chloride levels are the most pertinent as they will cause active harm to machines with stainless steel boilers and require specialized filtration to remove. 

• Chlorides below 30ppm are acceptable for use with an espresso machine.
• Chlorides levels up to 50ppm can be treated with the Vivreau Purity C Quell ST.
• Chlorides levels between 50ppm-200ppm can be treated with the Vivreau Purity Xtrasafe C1100.
• Chloride levels above 200ppm require reverse osmosis filtration.
