Maintenance

How to look after your Boxer Timer

A commercial machine with 1–3 groups, such as the Rocket Boxer, La Nuova Era Altea or Elektra, runs for many hours a day. Backflush each group with cleaning detergent at closing, clean the steam wands and the drain daily, and always run it on filtered water. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.

Good to know about the Rocket Boxer Timer

Warm-up 20–25 minutes

Rocket specifies a 20–25 minute warm-up before the machine is ready for service.

Filtered water, no descaling

Rocket does not recommend descaling. Run the machine on filtered water and install a water softener if the water is hard.

Backflush every day

Backflush the groups with clean water every day and with espresso cleaning detergent once a week.

  1. Every day
    • Backflush each group with cleaning detergent at closing
    • Soak the portafilters and baskets, clean the steam wands
    • Wash the drip tray and grate, flush the drain with hot water
    • Brush the group gaskets and shower screens
  2. Every week
    • Soak the shower screens in cleaning detergent
    • Clean the hot water spout
    • Check that the drain hose runs freely
    • Check the group gaskets
  3. Every month
    • Check the water filter capacity
    • Measure the water hardness after the filter
    • Check the pressure gauges
  4. Every 3–12 months
    • Replace the group gaskets and shower screens (every 3–6 months)
    • Replace the BWT cartridge according to capacity, at least every 12 months
    • Service by a technician according to your volume

Water and filters

The right water protects your machine

Commercial machines should not be descaled by you. Rocket does not recommend descaling and instead recommends filtered water and a water softener if the water is hard. Install a BWT Bestmax filter on the incoming water: Premium M for 1–2 groups and Premium XL for higher consumption.
The target is 2–4 °dH. Replace the cartridge according to its capacity, but at least every 12 months, and measure the hardness after the filter.
0 °dH2–4 °dH recommended15 °dH

Can be plumbed in

Your Boxer Timer has a rotary pump and can be connected directly to the mains water supply. We recommend BWT Bestmax with an installation kit.
