The Decent Espresso machine has a built-in 2-liter water tank that you normally have to fill by hand. With our plumbing kit, you can connect your espresso machine to pressurized water, such as you'd get from an RO-system. It is compatible with all the models in the DE1 series (including the DE1PRO, the DE1XL, and the discontinued DE1PLUS) and with Bengle.

How to mount your plumbing kit

1. Connect your large white tube (2) to the RO water or water mains, pull the tube out slightly, and secure it with a blue clip. We've included an additional female and a male NPT fitting (7, 8) in case your connection is different. If you need a different fitting, please reach out to us.

2. Connect the other side of the large white tube (2) to the pressure reducer (5), pull the tube out slightly, and use a blue clip to lock it in place.

3. Next, connect one of the female NPT 1-2 connectors (7) to the end of the tube coming from the pressure reducer. Pull the tube out slightly and secure it with a blue clip.

4. Connect the other end of the NPT 1-2 connector (7, which has the tube and the pressure reducer on the other side) to the plumbing kit intake (1) on the left side. Screw it in tightly.

5. We do include a mesh filter gasket (6) for the rare cases where the seal is leaking slightly. In that case, put it into the NPT connector before you screw it in (as in step 5).

6. Connect the thin white tube (3) to the right opening on the back of the plumbing kit.

7. Connect the other side of the thin white tube (3) to your machine.

8. Connect the black network cable (4) to the square opening on the back of your plumbing kit.

9. Connect the other side of the network cable (4) to the back of your machine.

10. Mount the plumbing kit with one of these options:

By removing its attached bracket and placing it on your countertop with its rubber feet,

By screwing it into the countertop with its attached bracket, or

By mounting it on the back of the machine with the other included bracket

Here's what this looks like:

Using the plumbing kit:

1. Turn on the plumbing kit via the switch on its back.

2. An orange light on the left turns on, showing that the plumbing kit is on.

3. The green light on the right only turns on when the plumbing kit sends water into the machine. So it will be OFF at first.

4. To keep the water in the tank fresh, the plumbing kit tops it off only as needed. So your water tank won't always be full.

5. When your espresso machine needs water, it'll turn on the electricity to your plumbing kit via the network cable.

6. The plumbing kit will open the valve to draw water from the filter or RO system through the large white tube and deliver it to the machine via the thin white tube.

7. The machine stops the plumbing kit after it has all the water it needs.
