To mitigate calcium build-up in coffee machines and water boilers, the Puretec IL143Q inline water filter cartridge utilizes active scale control media. It connects directly inline to plastic pipes using integrated quick-connect fittings. This cartridge is suitable for under-sink water heater feeds and caravan cold water loops.
Manufactured with a molded polymer outer shell, the unit has physical dimensions of 10 inches length by 2 inches diameter. The internal media consists of activated carbon combined with chemical scale inhibitor crystals. The dry filter weighs 0.39 kg and operates in cold feed lines up to 38°C.
This quick-connect scale cartridge operates within rated pressure limits of 100 to 520 kPa. It has a specified micron rating of 5 micron to capture physical rust, clay, and sand particles. The internal flow path allows a maximum water flow rate of 1.9 Lpm under standard mains pressure.
The inlet and outlet connections incorporate 1/4 inch quick connect tube ports for direct push-in installation. It complies with Australian plumbing regulations under AS/NZS 3497 licence number WM 74617. The scale inhibitor compound treats hard water minerals to reduce calcium scale build-up on critical hot water elements. Maintenance involves simple cartridge replacement.
