De'Longhi EcoDecalk DLSC500 — The Descaler De'Longhi Recommends for Its Coffee Machines
500 ml · 5 DosesPlant-Origin Lactic AcidAll De'Longhi Coffee MachinesOfficial De'Longhi
De'Longhi EcoDecalk DLSC500 is a 500 ml liquid descaler containing five 100 ml doses, based on lactic acid of vegetable origin and recommended by De'Longhi for all its coffee machines — bean-to-cup, espresso and pump machines in offices, cafés and homes.
Limescale builds up in the boiler and pipes with every cup, slowing heating, reducing flow and affecting taste. Regular descaling with the manufacturer's own product helps keep the machine working well and the coffee tasting as it should. De'Longhi now also sells this product under the name Decalk Care with the same code, DLSC500, so the label may differ from the photo.
Before you order: De'Longhi recommends this descaler for its own coffee machines. It does not publish compatibility with kettles, irons, steam generators or other brands' machines — check your machine's manual before use.
What's in the Box
- 1 × De'Longhi EcoDecalk / Decalk Care DLSC500 descaler, 500 ml bottle (5 doses)
What It Means in Practice
- Pour 100 ml into the water tank and start the machine's descaling programme, following the instructions for your model.
- One bottle gives five descaling cycles; how often you need one depends on water hardness and use — many De'Longhi machines show a descale warning.
- Hard water in many parts of Cyprus means machines tend to need descaling more often than in soft-water areas.
- Safety and handling information is in your machine's user manual and on the bottle.
What Will Not Work
- Machines from other brands — De'Longhi only recommends it for De'Longhi coffee makers.
- Kettles, irons or steam generators — not listed by De'Longhi for this product.
- Daily cleaning of the milk system — use the milk-circuit cleaner your machine specifies.
