The ESP124-T is a single-cartridge water softener system for espresso and espresso-based drinks. Strong-acid sodium ion-exchange media helps reduce hardness, while premium activated carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor.

It provides 1,100-grain capacity at a recommended service flow rate of 0.5 gpm (1.9 lpm). The valve-in-head design shuts off and vents water with a 1/4-turn movement for cartridge change-outs.

  • System includes a head assembly, integral mounting bracket, and single cartridge filter.
  • 3/8 in FNPT horizontal inlet and outlet ports provide direct or adaptable plumbing connections.
  • Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) encapsulated cartridge design helps reduce contamination during change-outs.
  • Cartridge change-outs require no contact with the filter media and require no pre-activation.
  • Optional downstream pressure gauge port is located in the top of the head assembly.

Installation notes: Use on cold water lines only. Maximum operating pressure is 125 psi (862 kPa), and maximum operating temperature is 100°F (37.8°C). Do not use with microbiologically unsafe or unknown-quality water without adequate disinfection.

Overall Dimensions:

4.0"W x 3.5"D x 19.75"H

Hardness reduction

Strong-acid sodium ion-exchange resin reduces calcium and magnesium ions to help prevent hard scale formation on heating coils and boilers.

Chlorine taste and odor reduction

Premium activated carbon reduces chlorine taste and odor and bitterness associated with poor water quality.

Valve-in-head design

The internal automatic valve shuts off and vents water with a 1/4-turn movement for cartridge change-outs.

Sanitary cartridge change-out

Sanitary Quick Change (SQC) encapsulated cartridges help reduce contamination during change-outs, with no contact with filter media.

Plumbing connections

3/8 in FNPT horizontal inlet and outlet ports allow direct or adaptable connections to existing plumbing lines.

Included components

The system includes a head assembly, integral mounting bracket, and single cartridge filter.

Optional pressure gauge port

The top of the head assembly includes an optional downstream pressure gauge port.

No pre-activation required

The filter cartridges require no pre-activation.
