The Puretec PureMix Z2 is a compact high-flow under-sink filtration system designed for installations where cabinet space is limited. Puretec lists it for mains, rain, harsh and rural water supplies, subject to the incoming water being suitable for the filtration technology.
The current PUREMIX-Z2-LF uses Puretec's Z2-R 10-inch quick-twist cartridge, filters to a nominal 1 micron, provides up to 8 litres per minute and has a manufacturer-listed capacity of up to 38,000 litres.
Puretec's Z Plus technology combines sediment filtration, chlorine and chemical reduction, unwanted taste and odour treatment, internal bacterial-growth inhibition and Anti-scaling protection in one compact cartridge.
*Puretec bases the 38,000 litre capacity on inlet chlorine of approximately 2 ppm ±10%. Actual service life depends on water quality, usage and treatment demand.
Puretec specifically positions the PureMix Z2 for installations where available cabinet space is limited.
The system can be installed vertically or horizontally, helping it fit around existing pipework, drawers and stored items without requiring the larger space associated with conventional multi-housing systems.
Puretec lists approximate space requirements of 290 mm high × 90 mm wide.
Puretec lists approximate space requirements of 90 mm high × 290 mm wide.
Allow additional practical clearance for hoses, fittings and cartridge removal rather than designing the cabinet around the minimum dimensions alone.
The PureMix Z2 uses one Z2-R cartridge containing Puretec's three-stage Z Plus filtration technology.
This should not be confused with a three-housing system. The sediment, carbon and system-protection functions are incorporated into one replaceable cartridge.
The first Z Plus treatment function targets suspended particulate material and clarifies the water down to a nominal 1 micron.
Puretec uses the term nominal micron rating, so the 1 micron specification should not be interpreted as an absolute membrane-style cut-off.
The second treatment function uses carbon media to address common aesthetic and chemical concerns in compatible water supplies.
Puretec lists chlorine reduction as a treatment function of the Z2-R cartridge.
Puretec lists reduction of other chemicals without applying a universal claim to every dissolved contaminant.
The carbon stage is designed to reduce unwanted taste and odour in compatible water supplies.
Puretec's third Z Plus function incorporates antibacterial technology designed to inhibit bacterial growth within the filtration system.
The Z2-R also incorporates Anti-scaling protection intended to help reduce mineral build-up within compatible applications.
The Z2-R includes Puretec Anti-scaling protection, but it is not an ion-exchange water softener.
If measurable hardness reduction is required, a dedicated water softener performs a different treatment function.
Puretec currently lists the PureMix Z2 for mains, rain, harsh and rural water supplies.
This broad application range does not mean every untreated source is automatically suitable. Water chemistry, sediment loading and microbiological condition still need to be considered before selecting a filtration system.
Puretec currently lists the PureMix Z2 at a maximum flow rate of 8 L/min.
Actual flow at the tap depends on incoming pressure, plumbing, mixer design, fittings and cartridge condition.
Puretec lists the Z2 system with a filtration capacity of up to 38,000 litres.
The capacity figure is based on inlet chlorine of approximately 2 ppm ±10% and should not be treated as a guaranteed cartridge lifespan for every installation.
Higher sediment, chlorine or other treatment demand can reduce practical service life.
Higher consumption reaches the cartridge's treatment capacity sooner.
Reduced flow or the return of unwanted taste or odour can indicate servicing is required.
Puretec specifies that the PureMix Z2 can connect to a compatible mixer tap or a dedicated filtered-water tap.
For many kitchen or bathroom installations, this allows filtered cold water to be supplied through the existing mixer without adding a second tap.
The exact connection arrangement should be selected according to the existing tap, plumbing and desired filtered-water configuration.
Puretec's current specification identifies the main components supplied with the PureMix Z2.
Puretec's current PureMix Z2 specification includes the PVM65PH multifunction control valve as part of the installation package.
This component forms part of the under-sink connection arrangement together with the supplied hoses, tubing and stem adaptors.
The final plumbing layout should follow the current Puretec installation instructions and suit the existing cold-water connection.
Puretec specifies protection from freezing and requires the installation to remain within the applicable pressure limits.

Installation still needs to follow the current Puretec instructions and applicable plumbing requirements for the property.
The PureMix Z2 uses Puretec's valve-in-head quick-twist cartridge system.
The Z2-R is removed from the filter head with a short rotational movement and replaced with a new genuine cartridge, avoiding the need to unscrew a conventional filter bowl.
Puretec states that its under-sink replacement cartridges have a typical service life of approximately 6–12 months, with actual replacement timing influenced by water quality and usage.
The Z2-R also has a manufacturer-listed capacity of up to 38,000 litres under the stated chlorine test condition.

Installed Today can also support eligible local installations where the tap arrangement, cold-water plumbing, pressure and cabinet access are suitable.
The Puretec PureMix Z2 is designed for compact under-sink installations requiring straightforward sediment and carbon filtration with Puretec's Z Plus system-protection technology.
The current PUREMIX-Z2-LF uses the 10-inch Z2-R, filters to a nominal 1 micron, provides up to 8 L/min and has a manufacturer-listed capacity of up to 38,000 litres. Puretec lists the system for mains, rain, harsh and rural water and allows horizontal or vertical mounting.
Before ordering, confirm the source-water suitability, the 200–520 kPa operating pressure range, compatibility with the intended mixer or filtered-water tap and adequate under-sink service space. Where bacterial removal, reverse osmosis or true hardness reduction is required, select treatment specifically designed and manufacturer-rated for that requirement rather than assuming those functions are provided by the standard PureMix Z2.
