4.9. AquaClean water filter
The SAECO AquaClean water filter purifies the water your machines uses for brewing coffee.
This results in a greater coffee taste. Moreover it prevents mineral deposits in the water to build
up, which eliminates the need of descaling your machine for 500000ml of water. We recommend
installing the water filter AquaClean the first use of the machine to the maximum before using 5000
ml of water. After a period of uses the machine, the display will indicate when the filter needs to be
replaced, the maximum limit equivalent to 62500ml. In this way you can replace the filter 8 times
without the need for descaling. This equals approx. 500000ml of water. When Aquaclean filter is
activated the display will show an icon indicating the percentage of use (initially 100%) .
The filter should be replaced after a maximum of 62500ml of water or after 3 months of use (ma -
ximum time of law)
The filter can not be deactivated manually, as it must end its life cycle.
The filter symbol flashes slowly when the autonomy of the current filter becomes less 8050ml (per -
centage shown on the display 10%). When the autonomy of the current filter becomes less than
2000ml (percentage shown on display 0%) the icon flashes quickly. After a maximum of 62500ml of
water supplied the flashing light turn off. Because you did not activate a new filter, the machine will
show that after a while’ you need to start descaling.
After the flashing light goes out is calculated:
(for example) After using 1 filter, the TH reduces of 1/8. With Water hardness 4 and brewing just
coffee/water products the TH is set to 30 liters. 30 liter minus 1/8 is 26,25 liters. The first filter expi -
res at 62,5liters - > the warning “DESCALE” should appear at 26,25+62,5 = 88,75 liters from start.
If the consumer is using the AquaClean filter, and replaces it when indicated by the machine. The
machine needs to be descaled after 8 filter replacements. When the 8th filter needs to be replaced
the machine will inform you need to descale before placing a new filter.
Note: the quantities of water, for each cycle of the filters, are not affected by the hardness of the
water itself.

8/8 Descaling
If after descaling or after the use of a filter this is not reactivated , the machine recognizes the water
hardness setting and calculates as in the table below
Descaling cycle frequency
Hardness WATER HARDNESS Without water filter Not reactivating the filter
1 Soft (up to 7°dH) 240 litres (480,000 pulses) 210 litres (420,000 pulses)
2
Medium (7° - 14°dH) 120 litres (240,000 pulses) 105 litres (210,000 pulses)
3 Hard (15° - 21°dH) 60 litres (120,000 pulses) 52.5 litres (105,000 pulses)
4 Very hard (over 21°dH) 30 litres (60,000 pulses) 26.25 litres (52,500 pulses)
The default water hardness level is 4. Each litre of water corresponds to approximately 2,000 pulses.
