Hello first of all!
>I have already read a lot about descaling and water filters and had to wonder again and again how different the statements and the domestic practices can be. Especially in Jura the spirits seem to divorce.
I work for a large electrical goods chain (without naming names
Euch it is optional with the purchase of a Jura machine whether he uses the supplied water filter or relies on regular descaling.
If you decide to operate WITHOUT a water filter, the following points must be observed:
>The unit is factory set for operation WITHOUT a filter.
The degree of hardness must (!) be determined and adjusted correctly
The device signals the time of descaling at the necessary (!) point in time, depending on the user's behaviour (earlier descaling is necessary with frequent use of steam, as a higher descaling residue is inevitable during steam generation).
Shows the device "descaling" on it is important to carry out the procedure (45 - 50 minutes) as soon as possible.
The heating element has only a very small diameter, this until get-no to exhaust and wait until one has desire or time to descaling is not a good thought, because the descaler will not then be able to solve all calcifications. As a result, the heating element gradually "grows" because after each decalcification there is always a little more residual lime left and at some point it is completely DICHT! And that is what we need to avoid with immediate, better immediate decalcification.
Original decalcifier and the specified amount of water result in a mixture that is specially adapted to the machines and achieve an optimum result if decalcification is carried out at the specified time!
Imagine your kettle looking like that after 1 year of daily use without decalcifying. I think it's clear to everyone that 2 - 4 decalcifications a year are NOT enough. Now imagine that the water-bearing part of the heating element has a diameter of approx. 3-4 mm. Here it quickly becomes clear that it is wiser to rely on the technology of the professionals and to do what the programming of the machine dictates.
Correct use of the Claris water filter cartridge:
>The machine is factory set for operation WITHOUT water filter
>The use of the water filter must be set in the menu of the machine
>The use of the Claris filter cartridge is recommended from a hardness range above 10° dH
>The maximum service life is 50 liters or (!) 2 months or (!) 125 minutes steam supply.
The machine determines the correct time for the filter change taking into account the coffee purchases (in litres) and the steam usage (in minutes).
If the machine does not indicate a change within 2 months, you must do this yourself and inform the machine via the menu that the filter has been changed.
The change after 2 months is for hygienic reasons.
If the change of the Claris filter cartridge is indicated, it is SATISFIED and has NO reserves for further use. It is advisable to have a replacement filter at home to be able to carry out the change immediately.
If the filter is not changed immediately or as promptly as possible, but if the filter is not changed further, coffee or worse, steam is added, calcification sets in. This must be avoided by a quick change.
General:
If the machine is used with a water filter, then descaling is not necessary if the machine is informed of the use of a water filter and this is changed at the specified time.
If the machine indicates descaling despite the use of a water filter, the machine is not set for operation with a water filter. The water filter achieves a water softening up to approx. 7°dH.
This residual lime binds flavourings and contributes to the characteristic taste formation of the coffee.
The low limescale residue (hardly more than a dusty limescale film) is flushed out when the Claris filter cartridge is replaced, thus ensuring perfect operation.
The menu item "Descaling" deliberately disappears from the menu when the use of a water filter is set.
The use of original descaler is advisable in so far as it results from the tablets and the water an ideal mixture which ensures an optimal result when descaling at the specified (!) time.
[/B]A WRONG advice:[/B] To still descale, simply switch off the filter use and then start the descaling program. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO If a filter cartridge is used to decalcify, the machine will attack materials, gaskets and plastics, because there is not enough lime in the machine for the decalcifier to act. The little lime is flushed out with the change of the Claris filter cartridge.
>At the moment I can't remember any more, if you have any questions you are very welcome to ask them here.
