15 Victoria Arduino — Water Main Pressure Below Threshold / No Water Supply
At a glance
- Severity
- WARNING THEN STOP
- Domain
- ESPRESSO_MACHINE_SYSTEM
- Reference standard
- UNI 9182 (Water installations) / EN 1717 (Backflow protection)
- Product / context
- Pressure Value Below Threshold (Eagle One, subcode 12: water main pressure)
What it means
The mains water pressure is below the minimum threshold required by the machine: slow filling, pressure alarms or irregular dispensing. Required pressure: minimum 1.5 bar, optimum 2-4 bar, maximum 6 bar.
Probable causes
- Insufficient pressure from the premises plumbing.
- Supply valve partially closed or inlet filter clogged.
- Failed or miscalibrated pressure reducer.
- Empty internal tank on machines not connected to the mains.

Where to start
Disconnect the water inlet hose from the machine and open the valve into a bucket: is the pressure adequate (minimum 1.5 bar, optimum 2-4 bar)?
