  1. 1Put a container under the filter to catch drips.
  2. 2Turn off the water and open the filtered tap to let the pressure out.
  3. 3Pull the tubes out of the push-in fittings at each end of the old cartridge and throw the cartridge away.
  4. 4Unwrap the new cartridge and push the tubes into each end, with the flow arrow pointing the way the water runs.
  5. 5Turn the water back on, check for leaks and run the tap for 5–10 minutes; milky water is just air and clears.

Common questions
Which water filter fits the Puretec IL-UB?
The Puretec IL-UB takes the Puretec IN149C triple-action inline cartridge for IL-UB.
How often should I replace the water filter in my Puretec IL-UB?
Every 6 months. Flow slows and performance drops off as the filter fills up, so it's worth doing on time.
Where can I buy the IN149C in Australia?
We track 2 Australian sellers for the IN149C; the lowest listed price when we last checked was A$81.00 at Cass Brothers. Prices are re-checked daily and dated on this page.
How do I fit the IN149C in a Puretec IL-UB?
No tools, a few minutes: 5 steps, listed on this page with the replacement video where the maker has one.
What happens if I don't change it?
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.
Is there anything to reset afterwards?
No reset light. Write the date on the cartridge.
