De'Longhi Water Filter DLSC002

The Water Filter DLSC002 is the water filter cartridge De'Longhi sells as an official replacement part for part of its bean-to-cup and manual machine range, described by the manufacturer as a sterilised filter built on ion exchange resins and active carbons.

The manufacturer states that the ion exchange technology helps soften the water, while the active carbons absorb bad odours, chlorine and other contaminants. The product page gives a usage life of up to two months, after which the cartridge should be replaced.

The manufacturer does not state the cartridge's capacity in litres on the page, a figure that would let buyers judge replacement by actual water use rather than elapsed time alone: anyone who wants that value has to rely on the two-month guideline instead.
