Proper water ﬁltraon and regular ﬁlter changes are a requirement to keep your factory warranty valid



Water Standards to keep your warranty valid:



In Synesso’s experience, Everpure Claris and Cirqua formulator systems can produce a re‐

sult that can damage the Synesso stainless steel tanks. Use of either system is highly dis‐

couraged and will void the water related parts of the machine warranty.
