The Puretec Z1-T5 is a premium undersink mains-water filtration package combining Puretec's Ultra Z 0.1-micron filtration technology with the chrome Tripla T5 three-way mixer tap.
The package provides normal kitchen hot water, normal cold water and separately filtered drinking water through one stylish fixture. This removes the need for a second drinking-water tap and keeps the kitchen sink area clean and uncluttered.
Puretec uses independent internal waterways for filtered and unfiltered water, so the filtered drinking-water supply remains separate from normal hot and cold mains water inside the mixer.
The Z1-T5 is designed for mains and town water. Its Ultra Z filtration system helps reduce sediment, chlorine, chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour while providing protection against cysts and bacteria such as E. coli.
The Z1-T5 filters the dedicated cold drinking-water supply beneath the kitchen bench before directing it through a separate filtered-water pathway inside the Tripla T5 mixer.
The Ultra Z system helps reduce sediment, chemicals including chlorine, bad taste and odour while also providing protection against cysts and bacteria such as E. coli.
The normal kitchen hot and cold supplies continue through their own mixer waterways, meaning filtered and unfiltered water remain separate inside the tap.
No. The Tripla T5 is a three-way mixer tap, not an instant hot-water or boiling-water appliance.
The hot side of the Tripla T5 connects to the property's existing hot-water supply. The Z1 component filters the dedicated drinking-water supply but does not contain a heater or boiling-water tank.
The Tripla T5 combines three water functions into one mixer, helping create a streamlined kitchen without a second drinking-water faucet.
Puretec specifically designs the Z1-T5 filtration package for mains and town water supplies.
The 0.1-micron Ultra Z system provides significantly finer point-of-use filtration than a basic sediment or carbon-only drinking-water filter.
*Puretec's current Z1-T5 product page lists a 30,000-litre system capacity. Current replacement-cartridge information should always be checked when fitting a new Z1-R cartridge.
The Z1-T5 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 particulate matter from the drinking-water supply.
Ultra Z filtration helps reduce chlorine, selected chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour.
Puretec states that the Z1 system provides protection against cysts and bacteria such as E. coli.
Puretec also states that the Ultra Z process retains beneficial minerals rather than operating like a reverse-osmosis system that substantially changes dissolved-mineral content.
The 0.1-micron rating is nominal. Use the system only within Puretec's specified water-quality, pressure, temperature and installation requirements.
The Tripla T5 is a 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-water paths use independent tubes and separate outlets, preventing the filtered drinking-water supply from mixing with normal mains water inside the tap.
The home's existing hot-water supply operates through the standard mixer function.
Normal unfiltered mains cold water remains available for washing, rinsing and everyday kitchen tasks.
Ultra Z filtered drinking water travels through its own internal pathway and dedicated outlet.
Puretec describes the Tripla T5 as a contemporary designer mixer with a distinctive high-clearance form suitable for modern kitchens.
The current Z1-T5 package includes the chrome Tripla T5. Puretec lists the tap at 5 litres per minute with a WELS 5 Star rating.
The Tripla T5 requires a 33 mm diameter tap hole, uses 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch braided connections and incorporates a 35 mm ceramic mixer cartridge.
Normal hot water, normal cold water and filtered drinking water are supplied through one kitchen mixer.
Independent tubing keeps filtered drinking water separated from the unfiltered hot and cold mains supply.
Fine filtration helps reduce sediment, chlorine, chemicals, cysts, bad taste and odour and provides protection against bacteria such as E. coli.
The valve-in-head filtration design supports a quick and hygienic cartridge change without dismantling a conventional filter housing.
The Z1 filtration unit can be installed in either orientation to suit the available space underneath the kitchen sink.
Puretec supplies the plumbing fittings required for a standard installation with the Z1-T5 package.

*Puretec's current Z1-T5 package page lists a 30,000-litre system capacity. Puretec's current standalone Z1-R replacement-cartridge page separately lists a 23,000-litre cartridge capacity. When servicing, follow the current instructions and capacity information supplied with the replacement Z1-R cartridge.
The Z1-T5 installs beneath the kitchen bench, with the Tripla T5 replacing the standard kitchen mixer and the Z1 filtration system connected to the dedicated filtered-water line.
Puretec describes the Z1-T5 as quick and easy to install and supplies plumbing fittings for a standard installation. The completed plumbing work must still comply with applicable local plumbing codes and requirements.
Puretec lists the complete Z1-T5 filtration package for operation between 200 and 500 kPa.
The standalone Tripla T5 mixer is rated for 50–500 kPa. Because the filtration system requires the higher minimum pressure, the complete Z1-T5 should be selected and installed according to the system's 200–500 kPa range.
Where incoming pressure exceeds the permitted maximum, an approved pressure-limiting device should be installed as required by the applicable plumbing regulations.
The Z1-T5 is Puretec's mains and town-water package.
Puretec pairs the same Tripla T5 tap with a different filtration system for untreated rainwater. The manufacturer identifies the ESR2-T5 as the rainwater configuration, combining the Tripla T5 with dual filtration and Radfire ultraviolet treatment.
The Z1-T5 uses the genuine Puretec Z1-R replacement cartridge.
The filter head uses a valve-in-head quick-twist design that automatically isolates the filter during a cartridge change, helping make routine servicing cleaner and simpler.
Filter life depends on incoming water quality, chlorine, sediment, organic substances and the amount of drinking water used. Replace the cartridge according to the current Puretec Z1-R instructions, or earlier if a noticeable change in taste, odour or flow occurs.
The Z1-R uses Puretec's quick-twist cartridge system.
The cartridge is removed with approximately a quarter turn, withdrawn from the filter head and replaced with the new cartridge. The replacement cartridge is then locked back into position before the system is flushed.
This cartridge design avoids opening and cleaning a traditional reusable filter housing during routine servicing.
Puretec describes the Z1-R as a three-stage, 0.1-micron Ultra Z replacement cartridge used across compatible Puretec systems including Tripla filtration packages.
Current manufacturer information states that the Z1-R helps reduce chlorine, pesticides, bad taste, odour, organic chemicals, bacteria, dirt and rust and provides reduction of Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts.
Only genuine Puretec replacement cartridges should be used where required by the manufacturer's warranty and servicing instructions.
Puretec states that the Z1-T5 filtration process retains essential minerals while reducing the contaminants targeted by the Ultra Z filtration system.
The Z1-T5 is not a reverse-osmosis system and does not operate by forcing water through an RO membrane to broadly remove dissolved mineral content.
The current Puretec Z1-T5 package includes the chrome Tripla T5.
The manufacturer does not currently list the Z1-T5 package as a matt-black version. Puretec offers other Tripla and Tripla Elite tap styles and finishes as separate models, but those should not be represented as the Z1-T5.
