Description
Fracino Water Treatment Units – 5L, 10L & 18L
Ensure your Fracino coffee machine runs smoothly and lasts longer with Fracino’s high-performance water treatment units. Specially designed for commercial espresso machines in hard water areas, these filters prevent harmful scale build-up that can damage internal components and affect coffee quality. Each unit connects directly to your mains water supply and uses high-grade stainless steel flexible hoses to feed into your coffee machine.

Frequently asked questions
Which size Fracino water filter do I need?
Match the unit to your machine: the 5L DSU suits 1-group machines, the 10L DSU suits 2-group machines and the 18L DSU suits 3–4 group machines. If you are between sizes or in a very hard water area, choose the larger unit.
How often should the water treatment unit be replaced?
Fracino recommends replacing the unit every 8–12 months. As a guide, at 200 ppm hardness the 5L unit treats around 3,000 litres, the 10L around 6,000 litres and the 18L around 10,000 litres — replace sooner in very hard water areas.
Do I need a water filter for my Fracino coffee machine?
In hard water areas, yes. Limescale is the leading cause of espresso machine boiler and element failure, and effective water treatment is required to maintain your Fracino machine’s warranty protection.
Are replacement cartridges available?
Yes — Fracino exchange cartridges (DSU5-RE-GEN, DSU10-RE-GEN and DSU18-RE-GEN) are available for all three sizes. Call us on 01923 559077 or use the live chat and we will get one to you.
