The AQUA PRIMA filter
The models Incanto s-class (Sirius and Rondò) are equipped with a softener filter that significantly
reduces water hardness, thus minimising possible problems caused by lime scale.
In fact, to obtain a perfect coffee, the water is an essential element, on a par with the blend and
roast of the coffee: it must always therefore be clear and fresh.
The filter operating modes and features are described below.
The water to prepare the coffee is filtered
just before delivery.
This guarantees constant optimal water for
a perfect coffee.
In four phases Saeco water first purifies the water, to achieve a unique coffee.
1.
The active carbons eliminate unpleasant odours or substances from the water, such as chlorine.
The silver coating of the active carbon obstructs the reproduction of germs.
2.
The ion exchanger reduces the lime scale deposit and eliminates heavy metals and suspended
substances from tap water.
3.
A special porous filter retains undesired micro particles.
4.
The corpuscular filter, used as a connection between the tank and appliance, filters the water,
retaining any suspended substances or impurities.
