Puretec Z1 Tripla Black Series Quick Twist Filter System

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 home/present.

Puretec Customer Service

Thank you for purchasing Puretec Z1 Tripla 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 Z1 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. The system is designed for metropolitan supply water but can be used in other situations. For other types of water supply please contact your local Puretec stockist or call our Puretec Customer Service Helpline prior to installing the tap. 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. This product must be installed in accordance with local plumbing regulations by a licensed plumber.

Operation

The Puretec Z1 Tripla system is 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. Chrome Plated Surface – should only be cleaned with liquid detergent or soap and water. Under no circumstance should any abrasive or acid base cleaning agents be used

Cartridge Replacement
To maintain the high quality of the purified water the cartridges need changing every 6 months dependent on water quality and usage. When replacing cartridge, ensure you reset the LED reminder light by removing/replacing the battery from the rubber seat. Please refer to page 8 for a detailed diagram. Order Z1-R for a replacement cartridge to suit your Z1 Tripla Black System.

Servicing
Periodically clean the aerator for any lodged sediment that may restrict flow. A Puretec water filter is highly recommended on all incoming lines for product longevity. Should it be necessary to have your mixer serviced while under warranty, please carry out the following procedure:

1. Firstly call the plumber, preferably the one that has installed it, (most problems are caused by the supply lines not being cleaned out properly, prior to connecting the mixers).
2. Make sure that the plumber has installed your mixer according to the User Guide.
3. If the plumber is satisfied that he cannot rectify the problem then contact your plumbing supply store or your local Puretec stockist.
   Important : We do not recommend the dismantling of any internal part of the mixer as this will breach your warranty.

Technical Information

Puretec mixers can be used in conjunction with:

• Pressure storage hot water system.
• Any mains water pressure not exceeding 520 kPa.
• Maximum hot water temperature of 60°C.
• Instantaneous hot water system.
• Any filtered water supply

Recommended Working Pressures

• Minimum working pressure 200 kPa.
• Maximum working pressure 520 kPa.

It should be noted that water mains pressure builds up during off peak periods, mainly at night, sometimes doubling or trebling normal daytime pressures.

Note : Not suitable for unequal pressure. On high pressure areas where the pressure exceeds the recommended working pressure as indicated above pressure limiting valves must be installed or warranty is voided

Installation Guide

Note: It is important to flush out the supply pipes to the mixer before connecting the flexible hoses with the initial installation, so no foreign matter can enter into the ceramic disk cartridges. A Puretec Water Filter is highly recommended for product longevity.

Installation Procedure

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 home/present. INSTALLATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY A LICENCED PLUMBER. FAULTY OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED WARRANTY COVERAGE.

1. Select suitable location that is close to the point of filtered water delivery (eg. sink). Remember to allow access room for changing filters and a suitable place where water spillage will not cause damage. Location should not be in direct sunlight.
2. Isolate water supply and cut existing copper pipe (coppe pipe NOT included) ready to install the SmartTee™.
3. Connect the SmartTee™ to the multivalve with a piece of white tubing
4. Install filter cartridge by positioning it in the desired location, marking the position of fixing hole and fixing with bracket screw. Z1 Series can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Allow room for the connecting tubes. Ensure flow arrow on cartridge is in direction of water flow.
5. Fit the stem to tube reducers into either side of the filter by pushing the fittings into the 3/8″quick-connect fittings already installed on the filter head (for quick-connect fittings see Fig. 10).
6. Fit tubing into 1/4″ connectors (stem to tube reducers). Allow slack in the tubing. Connect the tubing into the filtered water flexible hose securing with the nut found on the flexible hose (plain).
7. Connect cold water flexible hose (blue streak) to cold mains water supply and the hot water flexible hose (red streak) to the hot water supply.
8. Restore water supply & check for leaks, rectifying them, if any, before leaving the unit.
9. Run the system for at least 5 minutes to remove carbon fines. Water may appear milky, but this is normal and is only tiny air bubbles that will clear after a short period.

Cartridge Installation/Changeout

1. Rotate the old cartridge counterclockwise 1/4 turn, pull it out and dispose of it.
2. Remove all packaging from the new cartridge, including any wraps or caps (if applicable). Replacement cartridge: Z1-R
3. Insert the new cartridge into the filter head and rotate clockwise 1/4 turn.
4. Turn on the water and check for leaks. If leaks occur, repeat step 3. If leaks persist, discontinue use and call your supporting dealer.
5. Flush filter for 5 minutes before use or until water runs clear.

Use Guidelines

• Minimum operating pressure 200 kPa.
• Maximum operating pressure 520 kPa.
• Do not allow exposure to temperatures below 0°C, protect from freezing.
