Capresso Impressa J5 - Manual (Page 21)

IMPORTANT: do not use carbonated water or any other liquid in
the water tank.
You have the following options to take care of the water.
• Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge (chapter 15).
• Decalcifying System (chapter 18.3).
Your machine is pre-set in the factory to automatically remind
you to decalcify based on a water hardness of Level 2. You can
change the water hardness setting to comply with the water you
are using (chapter 16.1).
Please note: The machine will automatically remind you when it
is necessary to run certain water maintenance programs. It is
important that you follow those instructions. Otherwise your
machine may not function properly.
15. CLEARYL WATER FILTER CARTRIDGE
The machine comes with one Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge.
To reorder cartridges, see chapter 25.
The Clearyl cartridge
• transforms your tap water into pH-neutral water and reduces
water hardness up to 75%,
• cleans the water through an upward current principle (Fig. 22)
just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly filtered
water every time you make coffee,
• removes (if present) up to 85% chlorine, up to 90% lead, up to
95% copper and up to 67% aluminum,
• contains only pure organic materials (ion exchangers and
active carbon) with no chemical additives,
• preserves fluorides and minerals,
• eliminates decalcifying except when using extremely hard
water (25 grains or higher), see chapter 16. In this case we
recommended to decalcify the machine once or twice a year.
