Puretec Customer Service
Thank you for purchasing a Puretec Caravan / RV Quick Twist Undersink Water
Filter System. Your system is a proven performer manufactured from only
quality materials and components and will give years of ‘spring fresh’ water
free of impurities if maintained properly. The Puretec CR-Z2 system cartridges
need replacing regularly to maintain optimum performance. This is a simple
procedure when following instructions. For cartridge replacements contact your
nearest Puretec stockist. Customer Service Helpline 1300 140 140 (Australia)
0800 130 140 (New Zealand). Caution: Do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate
disinfection before or after the system.
Operation
The Puretec CR-Z2 systems are designed to run economically for many years dependent on the initial installation and periodical maintenance. Flush systems for 10 minutes after any period of non-use more than 2 days. For a period of non-use of 2 weeks or more, it may be necessary to replace cartridge.
Cartridge Replacement
To maintain the high quality of the purified water cartridges need changing every 6-12 months (dependent on water quality and usage). When replacing the cartridge, ensure you reset the LED reminder light by removing/replacing the battery from the rubber seat. Please refer to page 6 for a detailed diagram. Order Z2-R for a replacement cartridge to suit your CR-Z2 system.
Installation
This system comes complete with an installation kit enabling it to be connected to 12 mm tubing.
Installation Note : A water filter system/tap, like any product, has a limited life and may eventually fail. Also sometimes failure happens early due to unforeseen circumstances. To avoid possible property damage, this product should be regularly examined for leakage and/or deterioration and replaced when necessary. A drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outfitted with a leak detector, should be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property damage, and/or the water supply should be turned off if no one is present.

- 1 12 mm tubing.
- Supply pressure: 200 – 500 kPa.
