Water filter DeLonghi DLS C002

If your DeLonghi is prompting a filter replacement, coffee has started tasting of chlorine, or limescale is accumulating rapidly inside the machine, you need a new water filter. The genuine DeLonghi DLSC002 (part no. 5513292811) is the correct replacement for a worn filter — it fits directly into the water tank, reduces limescale build-up, and removes impurities and odours from the water, improving the taste of prepared beverages.

Important — verify your model: before ordering, check the exact designation and version of your coffee machine on the rating plate (type label). It is usually found on the underside of the appliance or behind the water tank. The DLSC002 filter is intended for DeLonghi coffee machines equipped with a water filter holder — if you are unsure, contact our service technicians.

When does this part need replacing? (Fault symptoms)

This part typically needs replacing when you notice one or more of the following symptoms:

• The machine displays a water filter replacement alert or the filter indicator light is flashing
• Coffee tastes of chlorine or metal, or has a flat, dull flavour
• Limescale (white deposits) accumulates rapidly in the water tank and on internal components
• More than 2 months have passed since the last filter change, or approximately 50 litres of water have been passed through the machine

The water filter is a consumable part with a limited service life — once the capacity of the ion-exchange resin and activated carbon is exhausted, it ceases to soften the water and capture odours. The manufacturer therefore recommends replacing it approximately every 2 months, depending on water hardness and the number of coffees prepared.

Compatibility: Which models is this part for?

The DLSC002 water filter is compatible with DeLonghi fully automatic coffee machines equipped with a water filter holder, as well as selected pump espresso models:

Fully automatic coffee machines — ECAM series

• DeLonghi ECAM (fully automatic coffee machines in the ECAM series with a water filter holder)

• DeLonghi ESAM (fully automatic coffee machines in the ESAM series with a water filter holder)

Pump espresso machines — BCO EC series

• DeLonghi BCO EC (pump espresso and combination machines in the BCO / EC series with a water filter holder)

As each series covers many model variants, verify before ordering that your specific model has a water filter compartment in the water tank. If you need to confirm a specific model code, we are happy to advise.
