Improper water filtration can lead to serious problems with both your equipment and the quality of the coffee produced.

In some cases, running a sink or other equipment connected to the same filtration line as the Modbar will cause pressure spikes during the extraction process. This is due to a sudden amount of water being drawn by a different device.
