# Dacor coffee system descaling and water

### Everything upstream of the coffee

The filter, the tank or the plumbed supply, and the scale this water leaves through all of it. A machine that takes longer and longer to deliver, or sounds strained, is usually describing a water path narrowing rather than a pump failing — though ignored long enough, the second follows the first, and the pump is the repair this service exists to prevent. On plumbed machines there is a second reason to act early: the supply and its fittings sit behind a tall cabinet where a slow leak runs unseen for weeks.

What this involves

Slower delivery and a strained sound are a narrowing path, not yet a dead pump

Plumbed machines hide their leaks behind the cabinetry

Filter and descaling interval decide how long this platform lasts

Descale the whole path

Boiler, lines and valves, with the machine's own procedure. A partial descale returns as the same problem in weeks.

Check the supply and its fittings

On plumbed installations, under pressure and with the cabinet base dry and papered.

Reset the filter and the interval

New filter, interval set, and the owner told what it actually is — this is the maintenance nobody was handed on delivery.

### How often should it be descaled?

More often than the manual's default assumes, in this water. The machine prompts, and the prompt is worth following rather than dismissing.

### There is water under the cabinet.

Turn the supply off at the valve first and call. On a plumbed machine the damage to the joinery is frequently worse than the problem causing it.
