replacements contact your nearest Puretec stockist.
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.

Periodically clean the aerator for any lodged sediment that may restrict ow. A Puretec water
lter 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 satised that he cannot rectify the problem then contact your
plumbing supply store or your local Puretec stockist.
: 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.

Puretec 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 ltered water supply

• 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 o peak periods, mainly at
night, sometimes doubling or trebling normal daytime pressures.
: 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.

3. Connect the ballvalve to the multivalve with a piece of white tubing (see g 1).
4. Install lter cartridge by positioning it in the desired location, marking the position of
xing hole and xing with bracket screw. (QT12 Series can be mounted horizontally
or vertically) Allow room for the connecting tubes. Ensure ow arrow on cartridge is in
direction of water ow.
5. Fit tubing into connectors (for quick-connect ttings see g 2). Allow slack in the
tubing. Connect the tubing into the ltered water exible hose (plain).
