My Delonghi machine is flashing the orange descale warning. But I've only ever used reverse osmosis filtered water in it. How can it have calcium build up if the water has no minerals in it at all, the RO filter is so fine that only pure water molecules can get through.
It's probably programmed to tell you based on X times refilled or X amount of time passed since last descale cycle. I don't know about your machine specifically but I don't think coffee machines have calcium/scale detectors?
Well I bought this descaler anyway. Maybe it'll give my coffee a bit of zest.
Yep, Jayblesz is correct. I have the Dedica too, and it just goes off whatever water hardness setting you put in, and a given time/water throughout. Descaling is pretty easy on the machine and doesn't harm it, so might as well do it when it asks. But you can also set it to the lowest hardness level to give you more time before it pesters you again.
as you're using RO, do you add any minerals back in?
from the research rabbit hole i've recently disappeared into, RO will provide the perfect base to which personal preference of minerals can be added back in - might give your coffee a bit of zest?
@rogue5: Sounds too fancy for me. The only thing I was worried about was something about RO water causing leeching of copper pipes or something, but maybe a bit of copper will do me good.
Just run the descale cycle anyway, it also cleans the nozzles that coffee runs through.
Does it work on fish? ;)
Yeah if you are having sweet and sour fish tonight.
Works great to descale yellow cake at bottom of toilet. Steps:
Wet dry vac toilet water out
Add descaler, leave overnight
Wet dry vac up descaler for next toilet
Good job guys, all sold out from amazon.
Bezos is probably wondering why all the descaler has vanished from warehouse and why its #1 Best Seller in Kitchen & Dining
The BingLee C&C option is the best for me
Free delivery works best for me
Also saves me a few dollars petrol which even makes it a better bargain.
White vinegar works just as well on coffee machines and costs $2L at the shops.
Supposedly can cause tubings to crack
Read that it gums things up overtime and $5 a year isn’t much anyway.
Can't find the SDS for this product… weird.
Have sent Sunbeam a comment for it.
I've never had any aftertaste when ising a 50:50 vinegar;water mix.
Always run through with plain water afterwards
fwiw i've bought this in the past, lasts for ever :)

Can confirm coffee had a more pleasant taste after descaling
