Review on Enhance Your Coffee Experience with 2-Pack Spring Source CMF009 Water Filter Replacement for Philips Saeco AquaClean CA6903 by Lacey Mendoza

This filter cartridge is a slightly different design to the original Saeco AquaClean but it installs the same way and works all fine. Let's face it, these are simple products that contain activated charcoal and tarballs, so they're overpriced, but they're effective at filtering water. And well-filtered water improves the taste of espresso. I saw a few complaints in the reviews and at least they didn't apply to me. I may have an explanation of how to solve the problems mentioned: Problem 1. The coffee machine does not "recognize" the new filter. My Saeco Incanto is not designed to detect a new filter cartridge. You must manually enter the menu and follow the prompts to see the new filter and reset the display to '100% AquaClean'. If you don't do this and reset the old filter, the new filter will not appear on the display. In addition, after you have passed 8 filters, the machine will not allow you to reset it to show a new filter without first fully descaling. Maybe other Saeco models will "learn" the new filters, I don't know, but the Incanto can't do without these steps. Problem 2: The filter is loading the machine and/or not providing water for espresso. It is very important to follow the basic installation steps. Shake the filter cartridge, immerse it upside down in water and gently pinch the edges to remove air bubbles from the filter. Then insert the cartridge into the water tank and run about 2 cups of hot water through the steam nozzle. This final step serves two purposes: it fills the pump and removes all air from the system to avoid the tension or lack of water flow that some people have observed, and it flushes the filter to remove any bad taste that comes through Manufacturing residues may arise in the water system. . filter material. These problems can occur with any filter cartridge including the original Saeco AquaClean if these steps are not followed. I hope some of this is helpful to you Saeco machine owners. Bar. Enjoy!
