De'Longhi Water Filter DLSC002 for Dinamica Intensa Magnifica and More

Genuine De'Longhi water filter DLSC002 (5513292811). It softens the water before it reaches the boiler. Ion-exchange resins cut limescale and heavy metals, and activated carbon strips chlorine and off-tastes. Better tasting coffee, and about 30% longer between descales. BPA free.

How to fit it

1. Set the date dial on top of the filter two months ahead.
2. Submerge the filter in a jug of water and press gently until the bubbles stop.
3. Push it firmly into the socket in the bottom of the water tank.
4. If your machine has a water filter setting, switch it on so the descale reminders adjust.

How often do I change it?

Every two months in normal use. The date dial on top is there so you do not have to remember. If the machine sits unused with a filter installed, replace the filter after three weeks.

Do I still need to descale if I use a filter?

Yes, just less often. The filter slows scale build-up by roughly 30%, but no filter removes all hardness. Descale when the machine asks. EcoDecalk is the matching solution, and we stock it. Setting up a machine for the first time? The DLSC306 care kit has this filter, EcoDecalk, milk-system cleaner and a hardness test strip together.
