Puretec QT12R Quick Twist Carbon Briquette 1 Micron Replacement Cartridge

Kitchen filtration setups require the extraction of microbial cysts, rust, and chemical additives typically found in mains water reservoirs. This cartridge is designed for undersink configurations where space-saving quick-twist technology is a priority for maintenance access. It clarifies water for drinking and food preparation, serving as the official replacement element for QT12, QT18, and QT-Tripla systems.

Hydraulic performance is rated at a maximum flow of 5 L/Min, achieving a 1 micron nominal filtration level. It operates under pressure conditions up to 875 kPa, which is suitable for high-pressure residential environments. The cartridge provides a maximum flow rate of 5 L/Min while reducing Cryptosporidium and Giardia cysts.

Internal filtration technology uses carbon briquette media to provide absorption of chlorine, pesticides, and organic chemicals. The 3 stage process includes a mechanical pre-filter for sediment removal and a specialized post-filter that prevents the migration of carbon fines into the effluent. This design provides up to 12 months of filter life.

Mechanical dimensions include a height of 310 mm and a diameter of 64 mm, featuring a dry weight of approximately 0.7 kg. The unit operates with liquids up to a maximum temperature of 38°C and features a reinforced polymer housing. The DIY quick-twist connection allows for rapid cartridge changes in seconds, preventing untreated water bypass and maintaining system integrity without professional plumbing intervention.
