Zealand).
Operation
The Puretec PureMix Inline Water Filter System is designed to run economically
for many years, dependent on the initial installation and periodical
maintenance.

The PureMix Z6 Inline Water Filter System is designed to operate with mains
water.
The PureMix Z7 Inline Water Filter System is designed to operate with mains,

Cartridge Replacement
To maintain the high quality of the purified water the cartridges need
changing every 6 -12 months, dependent on water quality and usage.

maintain performance standards and warranty, use only genuine Puretec
replacements.
Replacement cartridge code for Z6 model: Puretec Z6-R.

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 the kit, where extra length is required.
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.
Installation Requirements
-
15mm (½”) cold water flex-connector to tap.
-
Water supply pressure: 200 – 520 a.
Note: Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards. -
Water supply temperature: 0° – 38 °C (protect from freezing).
Alternative fittings may be required if being connected to anything other than 15 mm (½”) copper pipe. No electrical or drainage requirements.
Installation Procedure
-
Select a 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. The location should not be in direct sunlight.
-
Isolate water supply and release water pressure by operating faucet lever. Disconnect existing braided hose connections from the cold water line.
-
Install filter cartridge to the head assembly (see Fig. 2-4). Please note the arrow on the cartridge label indicates Undo and Install directions.
Warning: Ensuring the cartridge is in the correct lock position is critical prior to operating the system. Not being seated in the correct position can cause the locking tabs to shear and damage the head and/or water leakage. See Fig 4 for the correct position. -
Push one of the joint stem adaptors into the outlet of the cartridge head, ensuring it is pushed in all the way.
-
Install system assembly by positioning it in the desired location, marking the position of fixing holes, and fixing with mounting screws (PureMix Z Series can be mounted horizontally and vertically). Allow room for the connecting tubes and for removing the cartridge (70 mm).
Note: Knocking the cartridge can cause the cartridge to come out of the locking position. To limit the likelihood of this occurring it is best not to store items too close to the system to avoid accidental dislodgement of the cartridge. -
Connect the braided hose (cold water line) to the other stem adaptor.
-
Connect the inlet stem adaptor to the supplied pressure limiting valve (multivalve) , then connect the pressure limiting valve to the cartridge head assembly inlet with the
supplied piece of high-pressure tubing (white). See Fig. 1.
Note: The arrow on the head indicates the direction of the water flow. A hose extension kit has been provided if necessary, this can be used to extend the hose on either side of the system. Ensure the hose is kink-free. -
Connect the mixer tap’s braided hose to the stem adaptor on the head outlet. Make sure all fittings are tight and the braided hose is kink-free.
-
Restore the water supply and check for leaks. If leaking occurs then undo the cartridge and check the cartridge is seated properly.
-
Run the system for at least 10 minutes (turn on the 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.
