Puretec Z18 Quick-Twist Undersink Water Filter System with High Loop Faucet (5LPM)

0.1 Micron Ultra Z Filtration for Beautiful, Fresh-Tasting Drinking Water

The Puretec Z18 is a premium Quick-Twist undersink water filtration system engineered to provide clean, safe and great-tasting drinking water straight from the included high loop ceramic faucet. Featuring Ultra Z 0.1-micron filtration, the Z18 significantly reduces chlorine, pesticides, bad taste, odours, organic chemicals, bacteria, dirt, rust and 99.9% of Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts, delivering abundant crystal-clear water any time of day.

Designed specifically for mains and town water, the Z18’s compact housing allows vertical or horizontal installation without needing cupboard shelf cut-outs. The system includes a chrome-plated brass multifunction control valve, providing pressure reduction, anti–water hammer protection and dual check valve safety. Filter replacement is quick and hygienic thanks to the valve-in-head Quick-Twist mechanism, which automatically shuts off the water supply — no mess, no tools required.

Perfect for homes, offices, cafés, refrigerators with ice makers, coffee machines, vending machines and water coolers, the Z18 is a versatile, long-lasting filtration solution backed by Puretec’s impressive 10-year warranty.
