I got an inline water softener for my new machine which attached to the inlet water hose in your tank, and is about the size of half a Mars bar. Possibly helps a little when using tap water, but I'll still stick to bottled water generally.
Those post-Philips Gaggia Classics are known for having weaker 3-way solenoids (the bit that acts at the end of backflushing as a pressure release.. and at the end of brewing for that matter).
