Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave — PSSR examination & servicing
Aurelia Wave machines are used in transit hubs, stadiums, large chains and high-volume catering nationwide. The engineer carries out the statutory PSSR examination, the front-end service and the water treatment on this model — a standalone examination is £295 + VAT, or £500 + VAT with the service included.
Quick answer
Does a Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave need a PSSR examination?
Yes, if it operates in a workplace. It carries a single steam boiler with its own protective devices, which is the pressure system in scope. Steam is a relevant fluid under PSSR 2000 and steam systems are covered at any pressure and any volume, so the boiler must have a Written Scheme of Examination and be examined periodically by a competent person.

The machine
Why the Aurelia Wave matters to the Nuova Simonelli owner
Engineered for intense volume, frequently used in large-scale transit hubs and major chains.
In practice you will find it in transit hubs, stadiums, large chains and high-volume catering — which shapes what the examination looks like on site: how the machine is accessed, how long it can be offline, and how much scale it has accumulated.
On the day
- The steam boiler is drained and inspected internally with an endoscope for scale, corrosion and weld condition.
- The safety valve, anti-vac valve and fittings are checked and tested.
- The pressure gauge is verified against our calibrated test gauge, not against itself.
- A 3 group boiler holds more water than a 2 group, so the drain, refill and heat-up all take longer — allow the full appointment window.
- The Written Scheme of Examination names the vessel and the protective devices it covers.

All prices exclude VAT. The additional drain and heat-up time a 3 group boiler needs. We confirm the exact figure on the call.
Filters are fitted on site by an engineer and are not posted out. The filter price applies when ordered with a PSSR examination, service, call-out or water test; booked alone it is charged at the standard call-out.
What we see on this model
- High-throughput machines worked continuously warrant the more detailed end of the examination interval, and a written scheme that reflects their duty cycle.

Fault finder
What actually goes wrong on a Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave
Owners usually call us with a symptom, not a diagnosis. This is what that symptom most often turns out to be on this machine, and what putting it right involves.
| Symptom | Usual cause | What fixes it |
|---|---|---|
| "Maintenance" alarm/message on the display. | The maintenance counter has reached its programmed threshold. | Aurelia Wave Digit/T3: menu > settings > alarms > maintenance alarms, hold the reset icon for five seconds. Aurelia Wave VOL: menu > settings > alarms > maintenance alarms, set ON and press OK until "MAINTENANCE RESET". Switch off and on afterwards. |
| "WASHING ALARM" reminder on the display. | The programmable wash interval/time has been reached. | Run the group wash, or change the wash alarm interval and time in the menu. |
These are faults documented for this model, not a generic list.

How much does a PSSR examination cost on a Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave?
A standalone examination is £295 + VAT, because the additional drain and heat-up time a 3 group boiler needs. Combined with a front-end service it is £500 + VAT, which is what most transit hubs, stadiums, large chains and high-volume catering choose, since the boiler has to be drained for the examination either way. We confirm the exact figure on the call.
How often does a Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave need examining?
The Written Scheme of Examination sets the interval, and for a commercial machine used in transit hubs, stadiums, large chains and high-volume catering it is typically 12 to 14 months. A 3 group boiler holds a larger volume of water, so scale accumulates faster than in a smaller machine on the same duty and the scheme usually sets the shorter interval.
How long does a Nuova Simonelli Aurelia Wave examination take, and what happens on the day?
A 3 group boiler holds more water than a 2 group, so the drain, refill and heat-up all take longer — allow the full appointment window. The visit runs: the steam boiler is drained and inspected internally with an endoscope for scale, corrosion and weld condition. the safety valve, anti-vac valve and fittings are checked and tested. The gauge is then verified against our calibrated test gauge, the system is pressure tested and held, and the machine is re-assembled, refilled, heated and function tested. The Written Scheme of Examination, signed report and asset record follow within 48 hours.
