Oblong Filter Holder SES875

What is a water filter holder

A water filter holder is a plastic or metal part that keeps the water filter in the correct position inside the coffee machine or the water tank. It ensures that water flows through the filter rather than around it, and allows for easy replacement of the filter cartridge without disturbing other parts of the machine.

Signs of wear or damage

If the holder is cracked, deformed, or has a damaged mounting point, the filter no longer sits firmly, may slip out of place, or water may bypass it without being filtered. This typically results in a higher limescale content in the water supplied, faster clogging of the coffee machine, or leaks when handling the water tank.

When it's time for a replacement

A damaged holder reduces filtration efficiency, which speeds up the build-up of scale inside the coffee machine and can affect the taste of the brewed coffee. Timely replacement protects the machine's internal components from unnecessary wear caused by hard water.

Buying advice

Holders differ in shape, size, and the way the filter is mounted, so be sure to check compatibility in the product table before purchasing.
