The Puretec Z1-T6 is an undersink mains-water filtration package combining Puretec's Ultra Z 0.1-micron filtration technology with the chrome Tripla T6 three-way mixer tap.
The system delivers normal kitchen hot water, normal cold water and separately filtered drinking water through one mixer tap, removing the need for an additional drinking-water faucet.
The filtered and unfiltered water paths remain separate inside the Tripla tap, helping prevent mixing between the drinking-water supply and normal hot and cold mains water.
The Z1-T6 is designed for mains and town water and helps reduce sediment, chlorine, chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour while providing protection against cysts and bacteria such as E. coli.
The Z1-T6 filters the cold drinking-water supply beneath the kitchen bench before delivering it through a dedicated pathway inside the Tripla T6 mixer.
Puretec's Ultra Z filtration system helps reduce sediment, chlorine, chemicals, bad taste and odour while also providing protection against cysts and bacteria such as E. coli.
The normal kitchen hot and cold supplies remain available through the mixer, allowing one tap to perform all three functions without combining filtered and unfiltered water.
No. The Tripla T6 is a three-way mixer tap, not an instant boiling-water or hot-water appliance.
The hot-water side of the tap connects to the home's existing hot-water supply. The system itself filters the dedicated drinking-water supply but does not heat water.
The Tripla T6 combines three water functions into one streamlined mixer, keeping the sink area free from an additional drinking-water faucet.
Puretec specifically designs the Z1-T6 package for mains and town water supplies.
The 0.1-micron Ultra Z system suits households wanting finer filtration than a basic carbon-only undersink filter.
*Puretec's current Z1-T6 product page lists a 30,000-litre system capacity. Actual cartridge life is also affected by incoming water quality and usage.
The Z1-T6 uses Puretec's Ultra Z Filtration Technology, an advanced three-stage filtration process with a nominal rating of 0.1 micron.
The filtration system reduces sediment, dirt, rust and other fine particles from the drinking-water supply.
The filtration media helps reduce chlorine, unwanted chemicals, bad taste and odour.
The Ultra Z membrane provides fine filtration and Puretec states that the system helps protect against cysts and bacteria such as E. coli.
The micron rating is nominal. The system should always be used in accordance with Puretec's water-quality and installation requirements.
The Tripla T6 is a three-way chrome mixer designed to deliver hot, cold and separately filtered drinking water through one fixture.
Puretec uses independent internal tubes and separate outlets for the mains and filtered-water pathways so filtered and unfiltered water do not mix inside the tap.
Connects to the property's normal hot-water supply through the standard mixer function.
Normal mains cold water remains available for everyday washing and kitchen use.
Filtered drinking water travels through its own internal pathway and remains separate from the unfiltered mains supply.
The Tripla T6 features clean, minimal lines and a high-clearance spout designed to provide practical room for filling jugs, pots and other kitchen containers.
The current Puretec Z1-T6 package includes the chrome Tripla T6. Puretec lists the mixer at 5 litres per minute with a WELS 5 Star rating.
The mixer uses a 35 mm ceramic cartridge and requires a 33 mm tap hole.
Hot, cold and filtered drinking water are delivered from one mixer without requiring a separate filter faucet.
Independent internal tubing keeps filtered drinking water separate from normal hot and cold mains water.
Fine filtration helps reduce sediment and chemicals and provides protection against cysts and bacteria.
The valve-in-head filter design supports a quick, hygienic cartridge change with reduced mess during maintenance.
The filter can be installed in either orientation to suit available under-sink space.
Puretec states that the package includes the plumbing fittings required for a standard installation.

*Puretec's current Z1-T6 product page lists 30,000 litres. Cartridge life can vary with chlorine, sediment, organic substances and household usage.
The Z1-T6 is installed beneath the kitchen bench with the Tripla T6 replacing the normal kitchen mixer.
Puretec describes the system as quick and easy to install and supplies fittings for a standard installation. The final plumbing installation must still comply with applicable local requirements.
Puretec lists the complete Z1-T6 filter package for operation between 200 and 500 kPa.
The standalone Tripla T6 tap is listed for 50–500 kPa. Because the filter system requires at least 200 kPa, the complete Z1-T6 package should be selected and installed according to the filter-system operating range.
If incoming pressure exceeds the permitted working pressure, an approved pressure-limiting device is required.
The Z1-T6 package is designed for mains and town water.
Although Puretec offers Tripla T6 tapware in other system configurations, the Z1-T6 filter package should not be described as a rainwater filtration system.
The Z1-T6 uses the genuine Puretec Z1-R quick-twist replacement cartridge.
Puretec's current Z1 guidance recommends changing the cartridge according to its rated capacity and service interval, or earlier if there is a noticeable change in taste, odour or water flow.
Current Puretec Z1 guidance specifies replacement at approximately 30,000 litres or 6 months, whichever occurs first, for applicable current Z1 systems.
The Z1 filter uses Puretec's valve-in-head quick-twist design.
To remove the cartridge, it is rotated approximately one-quarter turn and withdrawn from the filter head. The replacement cartridge is inserted and rotated into position before the system is flushed.
This design helps provide a cleaner, simpler cartridge change without dismantling a conventional filter housing.

It does not produce instant hot or boiling water, and the Z1-T6 package is not the Puretec rainwater configuration. Before ordering, confirm mains-water supply, pressure, the required 33 mm tap hole, available under-sink space and installation requirements.
