Puretec Z1-E10-BG 0.1 Micron Water Filter with Brushed Gold 3-Way Mixer Tap

Residential water filtration requirements for town and mains supplies are met by the Z1-Tripla-Elite-10 Series brushed gold system. This integrated kit provides filtered drinking water alongside standard hot and cold services within a single high-loop mixer tap configuration. It is specified for undersink mounting where space optimization is necessary, allowing the filter housing to be installed in both horizontal and vertical orientations. The unit incorporates all necessary plumbing connectors for integration with existing domestic cold water lines.

Constructed from 100% stainless steel, the mixer tap features a brushed gold architectural finish. The filtration stage utilizes Ultra Z technology featuring a nominal micron rating of 0.1 microns to target microbiological elements and fine sediment. The replacement cartridge used is the Z1-R model, which incorporates a quick-twist design to facilitate manual servicing without specialized tools. Benchtop installation requires a standard 35 mm diameter hole for the tap body.

This filtration system operates with a flow rate of 5 Lpm and is rated for a maximum pressure of 520 kPa. It provides separate fluid paths for hot, cold, and filtered water through independent internal tubes to avoid the mixing of treated and untreated water. The total filtration capacity is specified at 30,000 Litres before a cartridge change is required. Connection sizes for the system are 1/2 inch BSP for the inlet and 1/4 inch tubing for the filter line.

The mixer tap has a 5 Stars WELS rating for water conservation and requires a minimum operating pressure of 50 kPa. Protection is provided by the valve-in-head filter design which isolates water flow automatically during the cartridge replacement process. The tap assembly features ceramic disc technology within the high-loop spout.
