Cartridge Replacement
To maintain the high quality of the puried water the cartridges need changing every 6 -
12 months, 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.
Replacement cartridge code for Z2 model: Puretec Z2-R.
Before 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
ltered prior to heating). Also includes extending kit, where extra length is required.
Installation Note: A water lter system/tap, like any product, has a limited lifespan
and if not replaced, will eventually fail. Failure can happen 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. We strongly
recommend that a drain pan, plumbed to an appropriate drain or outtted with a
leak detector, be used in those applications where any leakage could cause property
damage. We also strongly recommend that the water supply be turned o, upstream
to the water lter system/tap, if no one is home for an extended period of time.
INSTALLATION SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY QUALIFIED TRADESPEOPLE. FAULTY
OPERATION DUE TO UNQUALIFIED PERSONS WILL RESULT IN VOIDED WARRANTY
COVERAGE.
Installation Requirements
1. 15mm (½”) cold water exi-connector to tap.
2. Water supply pressure: 200 - 520 kPa.
Note: Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure limiting device must be
installed to comply with Australian & New Zealand Plumbing Standards.
3. Water supply temperature: 0° - 38 °C (protect from freezing).
Alternative ttings may be required if being connected to anything other than 15 mm (½”)
copper pipe (copper pipe not included). No electrical or drainage requirements.

Installation Procedure
Installation Procedure
1. Select suitable location that is close to the existing tap. Remember to allow access
room for changing lter and a suitable place where water spillage will not cause
damage. Location should not be in direct sunlight.
2. Isolate water supply and release water pressure by operating faucet lever. Disconnect
existing braided hose connections from the cold water line.
3. Install lter 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.
4. Push one of the joint stem adaptors into the outlet of the cartridge head, ensuring it is
pushed in all the way.
5. Install system assembly by positioning it in the desired location, marking the position
of xing holes and xing 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.
6. Connect the braided hose (cold water line) to the other stem adaptor.
7. 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 indicating the direction of the water ow. A hose
extension kit has been provided if necessary, this can be used to extend the hose either
side of the system. Ensure the hose is kink free.
8. Connect the mixer tap's braided hose to the stem adaptor on the head outlet. Make
sure all ttings are tight and braided hose is kink free.
9. Restore the water supply and check for leaks. If leaking occurs then undo cartridge and
check the cartridge is seated properly.
10. Run the system for at least 10 minutes (turn on mixer tap to run cold water) to remove
carbon nes. Water may appear milky, but this is normal and is only tiny air bubbles
that will clear aer a short period.

DISCONNECTION PROCEDURE
4. Push collet against body and slide tube out of tting.
1. Cut the tube square and push in to
the tube stop. For metal tube remove
burrs and chamfer tube end to prevent
O-Ring seal being damaged.
2. Fitting grips before it seals. Ensure
tube is pushed in to tube stop.
3. Tube is secured in position.
