What Filter
actually means.

Jura counts the water through the cartridge based on the hardness setting. When the cartridge is spent, the symbol turns red. While a working cartridge is in use, the E8 does not ask for descaling at all.

What to do when Filter shows on the coffee machine

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Jura's own guidance for Filter on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Remove the used cartridge from the water tank.

02

Fit a new CLEARYL Smart+ cartridge; the machine detects it and rinses it into the drip tray.

03

If the red symbol stays after a new cartridge is fitted, book a visit.

Cleared?

The message is gone, and the machine grinds, heats and pours a full cup again with no new part. If it comes back within the week, or the descale or filter reminder returns straight after a finished cycle, say so in the booking.

What not to do

The red symbol does not mean the machine is scaled up. Nor does it stop drinks straight away.

What you may
notice with it.

The coffee machine problems Filter tends to arrive with. Answer these at the coffee machine before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

The machine is doing what it was set to do, not wearing out: a rinse that runs through the spouts at switch-on and switch-off, a descale or filter reminder counting the water that has passed through, an energy-save mode that darkens the screen after a quiet spell, or a demo mode left on from the showroom that lights the keys and pours nothing. No part is needed; finishing the cycle the display asks for, or a key sequence from the manual, ends it.

In Jura's own words

The filter cartridge is used up.

Questions
about Filter.

Can I clear Filter myself?
Remove the used cartridge from the water tank.
Do I still need to descale my Jura if I use the filter?
Jura says the E8 no longer has to be descaled while a CLEARYL Smart+ cartridge is in use.
What happens if I ignore the red filter symbol on my Jura?
The cartridge stops treating the water, so scale builds up. Replace it soon.
Can I use my Jura without a filter?
Yes, but then it will ask for descaling, so set the water hardness correctly.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Filter?

Three things make the booking useful: the message or number exactly as the display showed it, the full model number from the plate, and whether the machine still grinds and pours at all. Send those and the likely part can be looked up before the van leaves.
