To maintain the high quality of the puried water the cartridges need changing every 6
months (this is dependent 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 X6-R for a replacement cartridge to suit your PureMix X6 system.
