Quick Twist Water Filter System with Tripla LED Mixer Tap
Introduction
Puretec Customer Service
Thank you for purchasing Puretec Z1 Tripla water lter 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 system cartridges need replacing regularly to maintain optimum performance.
This is a simple procedure when following instructions. For cartridge 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.
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.
Operation
The Puretec Z1 Tripla 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.
Tap Surface - should only be cleaned with liquid detergent or soap and water. Under no
circumstance should any abrasive or acid base cleaning agents be used.
Installation Note: A water lter 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 outtted 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 o if no one is home/
present.
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).
When replacing cartridge, ensure you reset the LED reminder light by removing/replacing the
battery from the rubber seat. Please refer to page 8 for a detailed diagram.
Order Z1-R for a replacement cartridge to suit your Z1 Tripla system.

Servicing
Servicing
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.
Important: We do not recommend the dismantling of any internal part of the mixer as
this will breach your warranty.
Technical Information
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
Recommended Working Pressures
• Minimum working pressure 172 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.
Note: Not suitable for unequal pressure. On high pressure areas where the pressure exceeds
the recommended working pressure as indicated above, an approved pressure limiting valves
must be installed or warranty is voided.

Installation Procedure
3. Supply temperature 0° - 38°C (protect from freezing).
4. Suitable location for faucet.
Alternative ttings may be required if being connected to anything other than
existing 15mm (½”) copper pipe (coppy piper NOT included). No electrical or drainage
requirements needed.
Installation Procedure
Installation Note: A water lter 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 outtted 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 o 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.
1. Select suitable location that is close to the point of ltered water delivery (eg. sink).
Remember to allow access room for changing lters and a suitable place where water
spillage will not cause damage. Location should not be in direct sunlight.
2. Isolate water supply and t SmartTee to the mains cold supply ready for Mixer and
Filtered water line connections.
3. Connect the SmartTee™ to the multivalve with a piece of white tubing (see Fig. 7).
4. Install lter cartridge by positioning it in the desired location, marking the position of
xing hole and xing with bracket screw. Z1 Tripla Series can be mounted horizontally
or vertically. Allow room for the connecting tubes. Ensure ow arrow on cartridge is in
direction of water ow.
6. Fit the stem to tube reducers into either side of the lter by pushing the ttings into
the 3/8"quick-connect ttings already installed on the lter head (for quick-connect
ttings see Fig. 6).
5. Fit tubing into 1/4" connectors (stem to tube reducers). Allow slack in the tubing.
Connect the tubing into the ltered water exible hose securing with the nut found on
the exible hose (plain). An alternative plain hose with a larger tting connection is
supplied but required with the Z1 installation.

12 Installation & Operation Manual Copyright © Puretec Pty Ltd 2021
6. Connect cold water exible hose (blue streak) to SmartTee 15mm Brass Connection
and the hot water exible hose (red streak) to the hot water supply.
7. Restore water supply & check for leaks, rectifying them, if any, before leaving the unit.
8. Run the system for at least 5 minutes 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.
Cartridge Installation/Changeout
1. Rotate the old cartridge counterclockwise 1/4 turn, pull it out and dispose of it.
2. Remove all packaging from the new cartridge, including any wraps or caps (if
applicable).
Replacement cartridge: Z1-R
3. Insert the new cartridge into the lter head and rotate clockwise 1/4 turn.
4. Reset LED indicator by following instructions on page 6.
5. Turn on the water and check for leaks. If leaks occur, repeat step 3. If leaks persist,
isolate the water supply to the system, discontinue use and call your supporting dealer.
6. Flush lter for 5 minutes before use or until water runs clear.
Use Guidelines
• Minimum operating pressure 172 kPa.
• Maximum operating pressure 500 kPa.
• Do not allow exposure to temperatures below 0°C, protect from freezing.
• Maximum operating temperature 38°C.
• Nominal ow rate 5.5 Lpm.
• This system must be installed according to local plumbing codes on the cold water line
- mains only.
• Replacement Cartridge: Z1-R
• This system requires regular replacement of the lter cartridge to maintain proper
operation. Varying chlorine, sediment, or organic substance levels may aect
replacement frequency.
• Be sure to change the lter cartridge at least every 23,000 litres or 6 - 12 months
which ever occurs rst; or whenever you detect a change in taste, odour, or decrease
in ow.
Caution: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality
without adequate disinfection before or aer the system.
