Hard water is the silent enemy of espresso machine longevity. The Lelit In-Tank Water Softener / Particle Filter uses sodium-based cationic resin to reduce scale buildup and remove particles before they reach your machine's boiler and components. Designed specifically for Lelit espresso machines with internal water tanks, these filters protect your investment while maintaining optimal brewing conditions.

Key Features

  • 70-liter capacity per cartridge for extended protection
  • Sodium-based cationic resin softens water and reduces scale formation
  • Dual-action design filters particles and softens simultaneously
  • Pack of 2 cartridges for convenient replacement cycling
  • Compatible with all Lelit espresso machines featuring internal water tanks
  • Simple drop-in installation—no tools required

We recommend testing your machine's water output quarterly with hardness test strips to confirm the cartridge remains active. When hardness levels rise, it's time to swap in a fresh filter. At Clive Coffee, we support your machine maintenance with genuine Lelit parts, expert advice, and the educational resources to keep your espresso equipment running flawlessly for years.

Customers praise this in-tank water softener for its effectiveness in protecting machines from calcium buildup. "Easy to install and works great," customers said. Performance varies with water hardness—some get 40L of soft water per filter. Regular replacement every 6 months eliminates descaling needs. Note: this filter helps but doesn't fully replace soft water use in hard water areas.

  • Easy to install and works great. Switch them out every 6 months and don't need to descale.
  • This is an absolute must-have for your machine. Worth every penny!
  • These work really well and are easy to put in. Cuts down the calcium buildup.

This works great. Mileage may vary depending on the hardness of your water. I get 40l of good soft water from a 70l filter. After this, the performance degrades rapidly. Keep testing your water to make sure your machine is protected.

This is an absolute must-have

This is an absolute must-have for your Lelit machine (there are two sizes - you can check the manual to see which one fits yours). I change mine on my Mara X on a regular schedule. I've seen the insides of machines that skipped using them. Not pretty! Worth every penny - pick up a few so you have one on hand for a scheduled replacement.

These work really well and are easy to put in. Cuts down the calcium buildup which is so much better than having to decalcify.

This filter helps with the

This filter helps with the machine a bit, but does not replace the need to use soft water in your machine. Calcium will still show itself in your machine and you will need to do a descaling process if you choose to run hard water with this filter. I eventually ran into issues with the pump of my Lelit Bianca. Descaling the machine and replacing this filter solved my issues. In hindsight, replacing this filter alone might have been the main issue as the water reservoir of the machine had calcium build up and it might have been clogging the filter (which means the filter was doing i). There's videos online on how to "recharge" the ions by soaking the filter in salt water, but it doesn't perform well if you have rather hard water. I would recommend just swapping the filter out completely. If you're a pinch and waiting for a new filter, you could "recharge" the filter by soaking it in a salt water solution and use it temporarily.

Thanks for the helpful feedback, Darwin
