Operation

The Puretec PureMix X7 system is designed to run economically for many years and this is dependant on the initial installation and periodical maintenance.

Flush systems for 10 minutes after any period of non-use more than 2 days.

The PureMix X7 system is designed to operate with mains, rain, harsh and rural water.

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 local Puretec dealer. To maintain performance standards and warranty, use only genuine Puretec replacements.

Order the X7-R for a replacement cartridge to suit your PureMix X7 system.

Installation

This system comes complete with an installation kit enabling it to be connected to 15mm (½”) male thread to an existing tap or mixer tap (Cold supply only – hot water should be filtered prior to heating). Also includes extending kit, where extra length is required.

Installation requirements

  1. 15mm (½”) Cold water flexi-connector to tap.
  2. Water supply pressure: 200-520 kPa.
  3. Water supply temperature: 0°-38°C.

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

Note: Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards.

Installation Procedure

  1. Select suitable location that is close to the existing tap. Remember to allow access room for changing filter and a suitable place where water spillage will not cause damage. Location should not be in direct sunlight.
  2. Isolate water supply and release water pressure by operating faucet lever. Disconnect existing braided hose connections.
  3. Attach non-return valve to water supply with teflon tape, then attach chrome adaptor onto non-return valve with teflon tape.
  4. Install X7-R cartridge to the head assembly (see Fig. 1). Please note arrow on cartridge.
  5. Install system assembly by positioning it in the desired location, marking the position of fixing holes and fixing with mounting screws (PureMix X7 Series can be mounted horizontally and vertically). Allow room for the connecting tubes and for removing the cartridge (70mm).
  6. Connect the braided hose onto chrome adaptor, then connect to the X7 head assembly inlet. Ensure the hose is kink free.
  7. Connect original braided hose attached to tap onto the head assembly outlet. Make sure all fittings are tight and braided hose is kink free.
  8. Restore the water supply and check for leaks. If they leak then undo cartridge and check the cartridge is seated properly.
  9. Run the system for at least 10 minutes (turn on mixer tap to run cold water) 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.
