The Puretec Z1-T3 is a premium undersink mains-water filtration package combining Puretec's Ultra Z 0.1-micron filtration technology with the chrome Tripla T3 three-way mixer tap.
The system allows normal kitchen hot water, normal cold water and separately filtered drinking water to be delivered through one mixer, removing the need for an additional drinking-water tap beside the sink.
The Tripla T3 uses independent internal tubes and separate outlets for filtered and unfiltered water, so the filtered drinking-water supply remains separated from normal mains water inside the tap.
The Z1-T3 is designed for mains and town water. Puretec's Ultra Z filtration helps reduce sediment, chemicals including chlorine, bad taste and odour while providing protection against cysts and bacteria such as E. coli.
The Z1-T3 filters the dedicated cold drinking-water supply below the kitchen bench before directing it through the filtered-water pathway in the Tripla T3 mixer.
The Ultra Z system helps reduce sediment, chlorine, chemicals, bad taste and odour and provides protection against cysts and bacteria such as E. coli.
Normal hot and cold mains water continue through separate mixer waterways, meaning the drinking-water supply remains independent from the unfiltered mains-water outlets.
No. The Tripla T3 is a three-way kitchen mixer, not an instant boiling-water or water-heating appliance.
The hot-water side connects to the property's existing hot-water system. The Puretec Z1 filter treats the dedicated drinking-water supply but does not heat or boil water.
The Tripla T3 combines everyday mixer functions with filtered drinking water in one fixture, avoiding a separate drinking-water faucet.
Puretec specifically positions the Z1-T3 filtration package for mains and town water supplies.
The 0.1-micron Ultra Z system provides finer drinking-water filtration than a basic sediment or carbon-only undersink system.
*Puretec's current Z1-T3 product page lists 30,000 litres for the complete package. The current standalone Z1-R replacement-cartridge page separately lists a 23,000-litre cartridge capacity, so current cartridge instructions should be followed when servicing.
The Z1-T3 uses Puretec's Ultra Z Filtration Technology with a nominal filtration rating of 0.1 micron.
The system helps reduce sediment, dirt, rust and other fine particles from the dedicated drinking-water supply.
Ultra Z filtration helps reduce chemicals including chlorine together with unwanted taste and odour.
Puretec states that the filtration system provides protection against cysts and bacteria such as E. coli.
Puretec specifies the 0.1-micron rating as nominal. The Z1-T3 should be operated within the manufacturer's water-quality, pressure, temperature and installation requirements.
The Tripla T3 is a stainless-steel three-way kitchen mixer designed to provide normal hot water, normal cold water and separately filtered drinking water through one fixture.
The filtered and mains supplies use separate internal tubes and separate outlets, so Puretec states that there is no mixing between filtered and unfiltered water.
Normal household hot water is supplied through the large mixer control from the property's existing hot-water system.
Normal cold mains water remains available for washing, rinsing and everyday kitchen tasks.
The smaller dedicated control operates the separate filtered drinking-water pathway.
The Tripla T3 has a contemporary dual-handle design and high-clearance spout intended to combine filtered-water functionality with a modern kitchen mixer.
The current Z1-T3 package uses the chrome Tripla T3. Puretec lists its flow rate at 7.5 litres per minute with a WELS 4 Star rating.
The tap requires a 33 mm diameter tap hole, uses 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch braided connections and incorporates a 35 mm ceramic cartridge.
Hot, cold and filtered drinking water are supplied through one kitchen mixer without requiring a second filter faucet.
Independent tubing and separate outlets keep filtered drinking water apart from normal hot and cold mains water.
Fine filtration helps reduce sediment, chemicals, chlorine, bad taste and odour while providing protection against cysts and bacteria.
The valve-in-head design allows the filter cartridge to be removed with approximately a quarter turn for cleaner routine servicing.
Puretec's Z1 filter can be positioned horizontally or vertically to help suit different under-sink spaces.
Puretec states that plumbing connections required for a standard installation are included with the package.

The Z1-T3 installs beneath the kitchen bench with the Tripla T3 replacing the normal kitchen mixer and the Z1 filter connected to the dedicated drinking-water pathway.
Puretec describes the Z1-T3 as quick and easy to install and includes plumbing fittings for a standard installation. The complete plumbing installation should still comply with applicable local plumbing requirements.
Puretec lists the complete Z1-T3 filtration package for operation between 200 and 500 kPa.
The standalone Tripla T3 tap is listed for 50–500 kPa. Because the filtration system requires the higher minimum pressure, the complete package should be selected according to its 200–500 kPa range.
Where incoming pressure exceeds the permitted maximum, an approved pressure-limiting device should be installed where required by the applicable plumbing standard.
The Z1-T3 is Puretec's mains and town-water filtration package.
Puretec pairs the same Tripla T3 mixer with a different filtration system for untreated rainwater. The ESR2-T3 combines the Tripla T3 with dual filtration and Puretec Radfire ultraviolet treatment.
The Z1-T3 uses the genuine Puretec Z1-R quick-twist replacement cartridge.
Current Puretec Z1 user guidance states that the cartridge should be replaced according to its rated capacity or service interval, or earlier if a noticeable change in taste, odour or flow occurs.
Puretec's current Z1 Tripla guidance specifies replacement at approximately 30,000 litres or 6 months, whichever occurs first. Incoming chlorine, sediment and organic material can affect actual replacement frequency.
The Z1 uses Puretec's valve-in-head quick-twist filter design.
The old cartridge is rotated approximately one-quarter turn and removed from the filter head. The new Z1-R is inserted and rotated back into position before the water supply is checked and the filter is flushed.
Puretec describes the Z1-R itself as a DIY quick-twist cartridge replacement.
Puretec describes the Z1-R as a three-stage 0.1-micron replacement cartridge used across compatible Tripla and other Puretec filtration systems.
Current manufacturer information states that it helps reduce chlorine, pesticides, bad taste, odours, organic chemicals, bacteria, dirt and rust.
Puretec also states that the Z1-R provides 99.9% reduction of Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts.
The current Z1-T3 package is supplied with the chrome Tripla T3.
Puretec offers separate Tripla and Tripla Elite tap models in other finishes, but these are different product codes and should not be represented as the standard Z1-T3 package.
