Jura Clearyl Smart+ The intelligent water filter with an extra plusCoffee is 98% water. So water of the highest quality is essential to creating the best possible coffee experience. The CLEARYL Smart+ from JURA further revolutionizes water filtration. The water filter technology ensures greater hygiene in the coffee machine, starting in the water tank itself. By choosing CLEARYL Smart+ you enhance the protection, product safety and service life of your coffee machine, so you can enjoy the perfect cup of coffee – every time.At the lower end of the CLEARYL filter cartridge, there is a capsule of natural active ingredients that stabilizes the water in the tank, reducing limescale deposits at the base of the tank. It functions entirely through the natural movement of water in the tank, which continuously flows gently through the capsule without the need for additional energy or a special mechanism. As before, the upper part of the CLEARYL filter cartridge uses ion exchange and active carbon with the up-flow principle to filter exactly the right amount of water for the perfect cup of coffee.Even better hygiene and cleanlinessCLEARYL Smart+ enhances the tried-and-tested professional up-flow principle, which filters exactly the amount of water required every time you make a coffee, with the addition of a capsule containing natural active ingredients. And the ‘plus’? The natural movement of the water causes it to continuously flow gently through the capsule, stabilizing it through contact. The result is less limescale and maximum cleanliness in the water tank.Suitable for all types of waterThanks to the innovative formula, the filter cartridges are suitable for water anywhere in the world. The highly effective granule constantly filters calcium carbonate to an optimum level (even when the water hardness is low) and reduces the level of harmful and flavor-impairing substances, such as chlorine, more efficiently than ever before. It retains important minerals, which help to carry the flavor. The optimum stabilization of the calcium carbonate level in the water tank, combined with efficient filtration when a coffee is prepared, ensures optimum hygiene and water quality for the perfect coffee aroma.Automatic filter detectionTo enable the filter and coffee machine to communicate, JURA uses modern RFID technology. Any machine fitted with the Intelligent Water System (I.W.S.®) recognizes when a filter is inserted, automatically switches to filter mode and starts the rinsing process. When the filter capacity is nearly used up, the machine prompts the user to change the filter. If the filter is not changed, the machine activates descaling mode. After a certain amount of use, the user is prompted to descale the machine. This can only be done when the filter is removed, so there is no more risk of user error resulting from misunderstandings.
