Puretec Customer Service

Thank you for purchasing a Puretec Basic undersink inline drinking water system. Your system is a proven performer manufactured from only quality materials and  omponents and will give years of ‘spring fresh’ water free of impurities if maintained properly.
The system is designed for town and rural supply water but can be used in other situations.
For other types of water supply please contact your stockist.
The Puretec Basic filter systems cartridges need replacing regularly to maintain optimum performance. This is a simple procedure when following instructions. For cartridge  replacements contact your stockist.

Operation

The Puretec Basic inline undersink Inlin systems are designed to run economically for many years and this is 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 cartridges.
Caution: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or with water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

Cartridge Replacement

To maintain the high quality of the purified water the cartridges need changing every 6 months (this is dependant on water quality and usage).
You can obtain replacement cartridges from your dealer and to maintain performance, and warranty use genuine Puretec replacements.

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 Instruction 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 purely to see what is inside as this will breach your warranty.

Technical Information

Puretec Basic mixers can be used in conjunction with:

• Pressure storage hot water system
• Any mains water pressure not exceeding 500 kPa
• Maximum hot water temperature of 60°C
• Instantaneous hot water system
• Any filtered water supply

Recommended Working Pressures

Minimum working pressure 50 kPa (7.5 psi)
Maximum working pressure 500 kPa (72.5 psi)
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: 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

This system comes complete with an installation kit enabling it to be connected to 15mm (½”) copper pipe (Cold supply only – hot water should be filtered prior to heating). Included is a control valve incorporating backflow prevention, anti hammer, flow control and pressure limiting capabilities according to the Australian Standards in full compliance with the relevant laws.

1. 15mm (½”) Cold water line.
2. Supply pressure: 100 – 500kPa.
3. Supply temperature 0° – 38°C.
4. Suitable location for faucet.

Alternative fittings may be required if being connected to anything other than 15mm (½”) copper pipe. No electrical or drainage requirements needed.

Installation Procedure

1. Select suitable location that is close to the point of filtered water delivery (eg. sink).
