Saeco APWF-6 Aqua Prima Cartridge Water Filter fitted for Saeco Superautomatic Espresso Machines

The revolutionary design of Saeco\'s Aqua PrimaWater Filter purifies tap water by eliminating harmful substances while keeping important, taste-enhancing minerals.

The Aqua Prima (6 per box) system locks straight into your water tank and filters the water, on demand, through a four-stage filtration system.

1.The Aqua Prima filter forces the water through activated carbon, which eliminates odors and other unpleasant substances such as chlorine.The silvering of the carbon inhibits the reproduction of bacteria, so the water remains clean inside the filter.
2.An ion exchanger reduces lime deposits and eliminates heavy minerals.
3.A special porous filter traps any undesirable micro-particles.
4.The filter connects the tank and the machine eliminating substances and impurities that are suspended in the water.
If 98% of your coffee is made up of water, why not give it the best water you can offer?

Not only is the Aqua Prima filter system healthy for you, it also keeps your machine clean and healthy. Everytime you replace your Aqua Prima filter remember to decalcify your machine (every 3 months)! Each Aqua Prima cartridge can filter up to 15 gallons of water, for approximately one thousand (1000) 2oz. espressos. Your Aqua Prima Filter should be replaced every 3 months.
