Why you need a Puretec filtration system in your home

A new study (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-024-01402-8) found high concentrations of PFAS in Australia, with many locations above recommended drinking water levels. With this in mind, it is time to consider one of the many options that Puretec can provide to make your drinking water safer to use, cleaner to shower under and better tasting.

Filtering your current kitchen tap drinking water

Puretec have produced the PureMix Z7 Inline Water Filter which connects up to the cold hose on your existing kitchen mixer. This is great for those who already have their kitchen mixer installed because you don’t need to replace your kitchen mixer. With 3 levels of filtration, the PureMix Z7 filters out sediment, rust and dirt down to 1 micron. Bad taste, odour, chlorine and other chemicals are removed leaving healthy, great-tasting, clean, safe and pure water. It also fits well under the kitchen cabinet and if it is too big, there is a compact version available.

The PureMix Z6 Inline Water Filter is the next level up in filtration by getting it down to 0.1 to move more of the potential E. coli in the water. This filtration level is is extremely fine and may not be necessary for all households as you will need to replace the filter more often.

Reverse Osmosis filter system

Reverse osmosis is a process that forces water through an extremely thin barrier, known as a membrane, that separates chemicals from the water. This system effectively removes* up to 98% of all dissolved impurities, fluoride, heavy metals, salts, viruses, bacteria, cysts, nitrate, chlorine, taste, odour, and chemicals like PFAS to a micron level of approximately 0.0005⁺. It is important to remember, this system uses 3 litres of water for every 1 litre of filtered water that comes out for you to drink. You also needs to buy the filter tap with it so for retrofit installation, you will need to drill a hole for the filter tap.

Whole House Filtration

The new Puretec FilterWall allows you to have filtered water at every outlet in your home. It has a 3-stage water filtration system which removes chlorine, chemicals, sediment and scale build-up. The system can be freestanding in the garden, down the side passage or somewhere else that is close to the water main. It comes with 2 posts that can be cemented into the ground, or simply bolted to a cement slab. It has a by pass for your pool (so this isn’t filtered). It comes in some fantastic colours and can be retro fitted to any home on the market.
