Guys, ive not used my machine for a couple of months and am in the process of cleaning it up. It has never been used with anything other than RO water (Osmio Zero) and aside from the usual back flushing while getting her back up to speed a few times does anyone have any advice on descaling? I have never done it, not considering it necessary due to the water i use. I'm sure the advice previously was that no filters were necessary either so its just filtered RO water all the way so far. I just want to get her clean again so what's the procedure normally? Thanks for any advice ....

I watched a video on decalcifying today, and the recommendation he made was to do it every 20g of calcium, per liter of boiler. The Elizabeth has 0,6+0,3l boilers, so a total of 0,9l, which means for every 18g of calcium. For him that was every 100l of water through the machine, but it depends on the hardness of the water you are putting through. His hardness was 20. Scale accordingly. I can post a link to the video if interesting, but it is in German, on YouTube. The subtitles can be set to auto-translate to English.
