Introduction
Puretec Customer Service
Thank you for purchasing Puretec Z1 Tripla™Elite 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 Tripla™Elite system cartridges need replacing regularly to maintain optimum
performance. This is a simple procedure when following instructions.
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 aer the system. This product must be
installed in accordance with local plumbing regulations by a licensed plumber.
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.
Operation
The Puretec Z1 Tripla™Elite system is designed to run economically for many years,
dependent on the initial installation and periodical maintenance.
Flush systems for 10 minutes aer 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.
Cleaning Your Mixer Tap
Plated Surface - should only be cleaned with a minimal amount of liquid detergent/soap
with water. Under no circumstance should any abrasive or acid-base cleaning products be
used.
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. Order Z1-R for a replacement cartridge to suit
your Z1 Tripla™Elite System.

Servicing
Servicing
Periodically clean the aerator for any lodged sediment that may restrict flow.
Should it be necessary to have your mixer serviced while under warranty, please carry out the
following procedure:
1. Firstly call your 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 they 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.
Tapware Technical Information
Puretec mixer taps 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 172 kPa.
• Maximum working pressure 500 kPa.
It should be noted that water mains pressure builds up during off peak periods, mainly at
night, sometimes doubling or tripling 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.
