Common questions

How often should I change a Puretec filter?
Every 12 months for the Z1-R Ultra Z quick-twist cartridge (0.1 micron), the most common Puretec water filter here. Each model page shows the interval for its own water filter.
What happens if I don't change the water filter?
The carbon stops reducing chlorine taste and odour and the flow from the tap slows as the cartridge clogs; a boiling-water tap with a scale-reducing filter builds scale in its tank faster.
Does Puretec make a compatible filter?
Puretec makes the genuine filter. Compatible filters for Puretec models are made by other companies to the same shape and flow rate, and Australian sellers we track list both; each part page shows the genuine and compatible prices side by side and the certifications we could confirm.
How do I reset the filter light on a Puretec tap or under-sink system?
No reset light. Write the date on the cartridge.
