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.

Caution: Do not use 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 for more than 2 days. For a period of non-use of 2 weeks or more, it may be necessary to replace the 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.

Installation requirements

1.  12 mm tubing.
2.  Supply pressure: 200 – 520 a.
3.  Supply temperature 0° – 38 °C (protect from freezing).
4. Suitable location for the faucet.
   Alternative fittings may be required if being connected to anything other than a 12 mm tube. No electrical or drainage requirements are needed.

Installation Procedure

1. Select a 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. The location should not be in direct sunlight.

2. Isolate water supply. Uninstall the connections on the cold water line and connect the tee, stem adaptor & tap adaptor (⅜” Tube x ½” F) together as shown in Fig 1 using the supplied thread seal tape on each of the threads. Reinstall the previous connection to the Tee

3. Choose the best position for the faucet, taking into consideration the height of jugs, etc., and also the drainage of any spills. Then drill a 012.5 mm hole and install the faucet
   as in the instructions for your model in step 5.

4. To install the faucet, connect the spout to the base of the faucet, ensuring that the white circlip is flush with the groove on the spout. Push down on the spout cap until it clicks,
   then tighten by hand. Once connected, place the escutcheon and O-ring supplied onto the base of the tap. Insert into the countertop or sink and place the plastic washer,
   lock washer, and locking nut onto the thread and tighten, ensuring the tap is in the correct position on the bench. Insert the 3/8″ tube into the faucet tap adaptor (give it
   a small tug to ensure the tube is firmly in place) and screw the tap adaptor onto the thread.
   Note: Parts packet also contains a gasket, cone washer/olive & 1/4″ Compression Nut, these are for a 1/4″ tube connection and are not needed for the 3/8″ installation.

5. Reset the LED indicator by following the instructions on page 8.

6. Install filter cartridge by positioning it in the desired location, marking the position of fixing hole, and fixing with bracket screw. The system can be mounted horizontally or
   vertically. Allow room for the connecting tubes. Ensure the flow arrow on the head is in direction of water flow.

7. Fit tubing into connectors (for quick-connect fittings instructions see Fig. 2). Allow slack in the tubing.

8. Connect the tee, stem adaptor & tap adaptor to the filter head with a length of White Tubing on the inlet side.

9.  Connect a piece of white tubing on the outlet side of the filter and connect to the faucet tap adaptor.

10. Restore the water supply and check for leaks.

11.  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 Z2-R

3.  Insert the new cartridge into the filter head and rotate clockwise 1/4 turn.

4. Reset LED indicator by following instructions on Page 7 & 10.
