Why Descaling Matters More Than You Think

April 10, 20245 min read

What Scale Does to Your Machine

Scale acts like insulation inside your boiler and heating elements, forcing them to work harder and sometimes overheat. It can also clog valves and flow meters.

Signs It's Time to Descale

Slower heat-up times, inconsistent brewing temperature, and reduced steam pressure are all common signs that mineral build-up is restricting water flow.

Professional vs. At-Home Descaling

Home descaling products are useful, but periodic professional descaling allows a technician to open the machine, inspect parts, and verify that sensors and safety components are working correctly.

Descaling is not just about taste — it is about protecting a significant investment. MAAS ELEKTRO can include deep descaling as part of your next preventive maintenance visit.
