Description
Replacement group sleeve for the Condor/Rubenetarie group, used on all our models except the Vectis

Groups are sleeved for commercial applications where the sleeve can be expected to wear out of round with use.  You will not experience this with domestic use.

Being able to replace the sleeve is relatively inexpensive when compared with replacing the whole group

Does not include the sleeve seals - we sell these with the piston seals

NB: using overly soft water in your espresso machine will result in the chrome plating being dissolved off the sleeve.  this is a user induced phenomenon and for the avoidance of doubt does not constitute a manufacturing defect.  we recommend that you use water with a TDS as high as possible and not less than 70ppm, whilst at the same time having a carbonate hardness (the total of the calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate) as low as possible and not more than 70ppm.  if you follow this recommendation you will neither dissolve the machine with overly soft water, nor incur limescale formation in the machine, or at least only incredibly slowly.
