AS00006178 Genuine De'Longhi EcoDecalk Descaler 500ml, Limescale Remover for De'Longhi Coffee Machines

Part AS00006178 is genuine De'Longhi EcoDecalk descaler in a 500ml bottle. It's De'Longhi's own limescale remover for its coffee machines. Running it through the machine on a regular schedule keeps the water circuit clear, so your coffee comes out hot, the flow stays steady and the steam wand keeps its strength.

Coffee machine running slow or lukewarm? Time to descale

Every tank of water leaves a little mineral behind, and in hard water areas it builds up fast inside the heater, pipes and valves. That scale insulates the heating element and narrows the water paths. The signs are coffee that isn't as hot as it used to be, a slow trickle instead of a steady pour, weak steam, and a pump that sounds like it's straining. Many De'Longhi machines also light a descale warning. Left too long, heavy scale can block parts completely and turn a cheap maintenance job into a repair.

Using EcoDecalk

Follow the descaling steps in your machine's manual together with the directions on the bottle, because the mix and process vary between models. Take out the water filter first if your machine has one. Run the full descaling program, then rinse the system thoroughly with fresh water so no descaler is left behind. Store the bottle out of reach of children.

Questions about this part

How often should I descale my De'Longhi coffee machine?

It depends on how hard your water is and how many coffees you make. Many De'Longhi machines show a descale alert when it's due. Go by that alert, or the schedule in your manual, rather than waiting until the flow slows down.
