Spid3r00 The ground wire is secure well, I can tell you that

It really isn’t - it’s bodged. It’s a real safety risk for anyone that comes into contact with your machine.

The risk is aggravated by your bypassing of the fuse in the power inlet and by the unavoidable proximity of water to the power fixture which means there is a likelihood, no matter how small you think that likelihood is, of that power inlet getting wet.

I already explained that as you have left it, if that power cable - also bodged through the base of the machine with no proper anchor - just a zip tie, gets pulled - the first cable to fail will be the earth cable so there is the potential for the steel case of the machine to become live.

It would take two minutes to make safe, don’t let a bruised ego stop you from doing that.

      Gagaryn I really don’t trying to argue what is safe and what is not… I mean ground wire i secure hard and it doesn’t move freely, now is compared to installation ACS did originally from factory. Now I have fuse in power inlet (11A from Eve Energy) and installation in my apartment have also fuse of course. I will dough install the fuse in my machine next week.

        @DavecUK any news regarding overshooting the pressure on Vesuvius? What can we hope it will happen to solve issue?

              Spid3r00 by the moment i haven’t news about the machine, my dear @Paolo_Cortese Have you could see the machine fail? It’s difficult to believe the machine don’t replay the problem there…i’m searching flight to Naples, days 18 or 19 of December Are there posibility to visit your factory?

              Let me know when you can please!

              Thanks a lots.

                I’m waiting a reply overall i need to know if book the flight or not… everyway a solution must be found!!!

                Spid3r00 there was a similar issue a couple years back and I believe it was incorrect magnets on the motor…??

                    dougyea I don’t believe the magnet is issue in this case.

                    In my case previous owner change the magnet in the pump some months ago.

                      Vesuvius leak free for a week now 🫣
                      Second repair attempt.
                      First attempt I assembled as it should be
                      My issue has been getting the outside and inside elbow “tight” in the correct orientation.
                      Tried it anyway using ptfe thread locker .
                      Worked ok for 3 days and started weaping again.
                      Guess as the thread locker went hard the steam found it’s way around.this was not the stuff Dave recommended I have to say. Just a Screwfix special.

                      I’ve had a bee in my bonnet for a while about the choice of fittings used so have changed the elbow on the back of the steam valve to a ¼ to 8mm compression straight fitting. Can now get everything nice and tight and not have to worry about orientation. This time I got a new ptfe washer from acs (when I got the evo oak handles last month) could not get correct thickness on Amazon. Just used ptfe tape on the screw fittings font and on my new coupling.
                      Am in to the second week now and leak free!!

                      Forgot to photo the pipework prior to assembly!!

                      Will do the same to the other valve if I ever need to disturb it .

                        Sounds a bit esoteric this?! When I recommended changing pump settings I didn’t get a response to it, Dave seems to have had no issue with the machine performance when he did this in Naples? Interested to hear what @kautivo experiences in Naples

                        MediumRoastSteam - hey there, any updates on this?

                        It seems a bit like “what happens in Naples, stays in Naples” 😄.
                        I hope his machine was sorted out and he is still celebrating this and the New year 😃

                              i was thinking that 😅

                              It would be a shame, after all of this discussion, if the outcome isn’t shared. Let’s hope they are all on holiday and they will let us know what the outcome was when they are back.

                              Hi all, not solved, the machine remains in Naples.

                              Paolo asked us to remove the gliceur and try to reproduce the problem. I did it and there is no difference in my machine. Service boiler on and hot, there is always a “barrier” during the first seconds at about 1,8-1,9 bars on the screen, that is what makes the pump increasing the speed and overshooting. Service boiler on but under 120º, no problem at all. I have tried it many times and have sent the videos asked to the factory. Removing the gliceur would find out if the problem is related with scale or debris.
