PURETEC UNDERSINK DRINKING WATER FILTRATION
Puretec IL-TM10 Inline Water Filter with 3-Way Mixer Tap
The Puretec IL-TM10 is a compact inline undersink drinking-water filtration system supplied with a chrome TM10 three-way mixer tap. The three-way design combines normal hot water, normal cold water and filtered drinking water within one kitchen tap.
The IL-TM10 uses premium-grade KDF media with a nominal 1-micron filtration rating to help reduce chlorine, sediment, bad taste, odour and heavy metals from the filtered drinking-water supply.
Its slimline filter can be mounted horizontally or vertically beneath the kitchen bench. Puretec lists a filtered-water flow rate of up to 1.9 litres per minute and a cartridge treatment capacity of up to 9,500 litres.
Important: Puretec currently lists the IL-TM10 as discontinued. Availability therefore depends on remaining stock and should be confirmed before ordering.
Puretec IL-TM10 at a glance: this is a compact undersink drinking-water filter supplied with a chrome TM10 three-way mixer tap. It uses 1-micron KDF filtration to reduce chlorine, sediment, heavy metals, bad taste and odour, while allowing filtered, hot and cold water to be delivered from one kitchen tap.
WHAT IT DOES
What Does the Puretec IL-TM10 Do?
The IL-TM10 filters the drinking-water supply underneath the kitchen bench before directing that filtered water to the dedicated filtered-water pathway in the TM10 three-way mixer tap.
The system is designed to help reduce chlorine, sediment, heavy metals, bad taste and odour from drinking water.
Because the filtered-water pathway is incorporated into the three-way mixer, the kitchen does not require a separate small drinking-water faucet beside the main tap.
WHO IT SUITS
Who Is the Puretec IL-TM10 Best For?
Compact Kitchens
The slimline undersink filter and combined three-way mixer can suit kitchens where available under-bench and sink-area space is limited.
Filtered Drinking Water
The IL-TM10 provides point-of-use filtration for drinking and food-preparation water rather than filtering the entire household water supply.
Single-Tap Kitchen Upgrades
The TM10 provides hot, cold and filtered water through one fixture, avoiding the visual clutter of a separate drinking-water tap.
WHO IT HELPS
What Problems Can the Puretec IL-TM10 Help Solve?
Chlorine Taste & Odour
Puretec specifies the IL-TM10 for reducing chlorine together with unwanted taste and odour in drinking water.
Sediment & Heavy Metals
The inline filtration media is also specified for reducing sediment and heavy metals from the filtered-water supply.
Separate Filter-Tap Clutter
The supplied three-way mixer incorporates the filtered-water outlet into the main kitchen tap rather than requiring an additional faucet.

PRODUCT SUITABILITY
Is the Puretec IL-TM10 Right for My Kitchen?
A Good Choice If...
You want compact undersink drinking-water filtration and prefer filtered, hot and cold water to be delivered through one kitchen tap.
Consider Another Option If...
You require whole-house filtration, reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, dedicated microbiological treatment or a current Puretec model with ongoing manufacturer availability.
Check Before Ordering
Confirm remaining stock, existing tap-hole suitability, under-sink space, incoming pressure and access to the kitchen cold-water plumbing.
FILTRATION
What Does the Puretec IL-TM10 Filter?
Puretec states that the IL-TM10 uses premium-grade KDF media and is designed to help reduce:
- Chlorine
- Sediment
- Heavy metals
- Bad taste
- Unpleasant odour
- Fine particles down to its nominal 1-micron rating
Puretec does not specify the IL-TM10 as a reverse-osmosis or UV disinfection system. It should not be promoted as providing microbiological sterilisation of untreated water.
KDF FILTRATION
How Does the Puretec IL-TM10 Filter Water?
The IL-TM10 uses premium-grade KDF filtration media in a compact inline cartridge.
Puretec specifies this media configuration for reducing chlorine, sediment, bad taste, odour and heavy metals while providing a compact point-of-use drinking-water filtration solution.
The replacement cartridge used across Puretec's IL-TM inline systems is the IN149C, a 1-micron KDF/carbon inline cartridge with a 1/4-inch quick-connect fitting.
3-WAY MIXER TAP
How Does the Puretec TM10 3-Way Mixer Tap Work?
The supplied TM10 three-way mixer tap combines three separate kitchen-water functions in one fixture.
Hot Water
Normal household hot water continues through the standard mixer function.
Cold Water
Normal unfiltered cold water remains available for routine kitchen use.
Filtered Drinking Water
The IL-TM10 supplies filtered drinking water through the dedicated filtered-water pathway within the mixer tap.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
What Is Required to Install the Puretec IL-TM10?
The IL-TM10 installs beneath the kitchen bench with the filter connected to the dedicated filtered-water pathway of the TM10 three-way mixer tap.
- Suitable sink or benchtop position for the TM10 mixer
- Available under-bench space for the inline cartridge
- Cold-water supply connection
- Hot and cold plumbing connections for the mixer
- 1/4" quick-connect filtered-water line
- Incoming pressure not exceeding 500 kPa
- Pressure-limiting device where required
- Protection from freezing
- Horizontal or vertical cartridge mounting
- Access for future cartridge replacement
Puretec describes the IL-TM10 as easy to install and supplies plumbing fittings for a standard installation. The finished installation should still meet applicable plumbing requirements.
WATER PRESSURE
What Water Pressure Does the Puretec IL-TM10 Require?
Puretec's current IL-TM10 product page lists a maximum pressure of 500 kPa.
Where line pressure exceeds this level, Puretec requires an approved pressure-limiting device to protect the system and comply with applicable Australian and New Zealand plumbing requirements.
The current manufacturer-listed filtered-water flow range is 0–1.9 L/min. The earlier 1.9–2.8 L/min claim should not be used for this model.
WATER SOURCE
Can the Puretec IL-TM10 Be Used With Rural Water?
Puretec describes the IL-TM10 as ideal for town and rural water supplies.
That does not mean the IL-TM10 should be treated as a complete purification system for untreated rainwater, bore water or another microbiologically unsafe source. The product does not include UV sterilisation or another dedicated disinfection stage.
Source-water quality matters. Rainwater, bore water and other private water supplies should be tested and treated according to the actual contaminants present. Do not describe the IL-TM10 as a stand-alone bacteria-removal system.
FILTER CAPACITY
How Much Water Can the Puretec IL-TM10 Filter?
Puretec's IL-TM10 specification sheet lists a treatment capacity of up to 9,500 litres.
Actual cartridge life depends on incoming water quality, sediment levels, chlorine concentration and the amount of filtered drinking water used.
A reduction in filtered-water flow or the return of unwanted taste or odour can indicate that cartridge replacement is required before the maximum treatment capacity is reached.
FILTER MAINTENANCE
How Is the Puretec IL-TM10 Maintained?
The IL-TM10 uses a replaceable inline cartridge. Puretec describes the replacement cartridge as a do-it-yourself cartridge, allowing routine filter changes without replacing the tap or entire filtration system.
The genuine Puretec IN149C cartridge is specified for the IL-TM Series and uses a 1/4-inch quick-connect fitting.
Replacement Cartridge
IN149C
1-micron KDF/carbon inline cartridge with 1/4-inch quick-connect fitting.
When to Replace
Replace according to service life and water conditions, or earlier where reduced flow or a noticeable change in taste or odour indicates declining filter performance.

ONE TAP, THREE WATER FUNCTIONS
Why Choose a 3-Way Mixer Tap?
A three-way mixer combines normal kitchen hot water, normal cold water and filtered drinking water within one fixture.
This removes the need for a separate drinking-water faucet and can create a cleaner, less cluttered sink area.
With the IL-TM10, Puretec combines the TM10 mixer with a slimline inline filter beneath the kitchen bench.

FINAL CHECK
Is the Puretec IL-TM10 Right for You?
The Puretec IL-TM10 is primarily suited to kitchens wanting compact point-of-use drinking-water filtration together with a single three-way mixer tap. Its key characteristics are its 1-micron KDF filtration, filtered-water flow of up to 1.9 L/min, up to 9,500 litres of cartridge capacity and ability to deliver filtered, hot and cold water from one kitchen fixture.
It should not be confused with a reverse-osmosis, UV purification, dedicated scale-treatment or stand-alone microbiological water-treatment system.
Puretec currently lists the IL-TM10 as discontinued, so confirm remaining stock before ordering. Where no stock remains, consider a current Puretec three-way mixer and undersink filtration package.
