Questions about the Nuova Simonelli Small Capacity Filtration System6
What is included in the Small Capacity Filtration System?

The system includes the RSCF 124 Softening Cartridge (NUOVART014, 1,100 grains) and the VH3 filter head with 3/8 in NPT connections (NUOVART005).

What does the RSCF 124 cartridge reduce?

It reduces water hardness (calcium and magnesium) to limit scale build-up on boiler heating elements, and reduces chlorine taste and odor.

How is the cartridge replaced?

The valve-in-head design shuts off and vents the water with a quarter turn, so the cartridge can be swapped without shutting off the water line. The cartridge is sanitary in design, so there is no contact with the filter media, and it needs no activation.

What are the operating limits of this system?

Maximum operating pressure is 125 psi (862 kPa), maximum operating temperature is 100°F (37.8°C), and the service flow rate is 0.5 gpm (1.9 lpm).

What warranty comes with Nuova Simonelli espresso machines?

Nuova Simonelli espresso machines carry a 2-year manufacturer warranty, according to the US distributor. If a part is defective, the claim is made with the Defective Part Warranty Claim Form, which is available in the documents section of this page.

Does my Nuova Simonelli machine need a water softener or filter?

A water softener is mandatory whenever the incoming water does not meet the water specifications Nuova Simonelli requires. Running a machine on water outside those specs voids the warranty. A water filter is also recommended to protect the machine and keep your coffee tasting consistent.
