Jura CLEARYL Smart+ Water Filter Cartridge, Gray (3-Pack) - RFID Smart Detection & Limescale Protection

The JURA CLEARYL Smart+ filter cartridge is a smart water filter that reduces limescale, improves water hygiene, and communicates its status to compatible JURA machines via RFID.

Designed for JURA espresso and automatic coffee machines equipped with the Intelligent Water System (I·W·S·), the CLEARYL Smart+ combines ion exchange, activated carbon and a natural active-ingredient capsule to stabilize tank water and reduce limescale buildup. The filter’s RFID chip lets the machine detect installation, switch to filter mode automatically, track remaining capacity, and prompt timely replacements—helping protect internal components and preserve beverage quality.

How does CLEARYL Smart+ protect my machine from limescale?

CLEARYL Smart+ uses a two-stage approach: an upper ion-exchange and activated-carbon layer that treats water as it flows up through the cartridge, and a lower capsule of natural active ingredients that gently stabilizes water at the tank base. This continuous, passive action reduces the rate of limescale formation without extra power or moving parts.

• Ion exchange reduces hardness ions that form limescale
• Activated carbon improves taste and removes chlorine
• Natural capsule stabilizes tank water to lower sediment buildup

What does the RFID feature do and why does it matter?

The integrated RFID tag tells your compatible JURA machine when a CLEARYL Smart+ cartridge is inserted so the machine can switch to filter mode automatically and begin the correct rinse cycle. The system records filter use, calculates remaining capacity, and displays timely replacement prompts to prevent missed changes and unnecessary descaling cycles.

• Automatic detection and mode switching when the filter is installed
• Rinsing sequence initiated by the machine for correct setup
• Usage tracking and end-of-life alerts to maintain performance

How does this filter improve coffee taste and hygiene?

By removing chlorine and other off-flavors with activated carbon and reducing mineral deposits, the CLEARYL Smart+ helps preserve the natural aroma of coffee and reduces residues that can affect extraction. Placing filtration at the water tank level enhances overall hygiene because water is treated before it circulates through internal tubing and brewing components.

• Removes taste- and odor-causing substances for cleaner water
• Limits mineral deposits that can harbor residues or clog nozzles
• Promotes cleaner internal water pathways for consistent flavor

What happens if I forget to change the filter?

If the filter reaches the end of its service life without replacement, JURA machines will switch to descaling mode to protect internal parts from limescale. The RFID-driven alerts help reduce this risk by notifying you when capacity is nearly depleted so you can change the filter promptly.

• Machine prompts you when the filter capacity is nearly exhausted
• If not replaced, the machine signals descaling to protect components
• Timely filter changes help extend machine service life and reduce maintenance

Who is this for: CLEARYL Smart+ cartridges are aimed at owners of JURA automatic coffee machines with the Intelligent Water System who want to protect their investment, reduce maintenance, and preserve cup quality. It's a practical choice for home baristas, office kitchens, and small hospitality settings that value consistent taste, cleaner water, and automated maintenance reminders. This three-filter pack provides several months of protected operation depending on usage and local water hardness.
