Aquano KlearFlow 17" 1 Micron Underbench Water Filter Kit – Puretec PureMix Z7 Alternative

The Aquano KlearFlow KF17KIT is a complete underbench water filtration system designed for homes with high sediment levels and challenging water quality.

Ideal for mains, rainwater, tank and bore water supplies, the system combines 1 micron filtration with activated carbon, KDF media, antibacterial technology and scale control. It helps reduce sediment, chlorine, certain heavy metals, unpleasant taste and odour while helping to prevent limescale build-up.

The larger 17" cartridge provides a rated capacity of up to 75,000 litres, with a maximum flow rate of 9.5 L/min. Its quick-twist design and built-in filter-head valve make cartridge changes straightforward.

The KF17KIT is a complete alternative to the Puretec PureMix Z7 underbench filtration system. It connects to your existing kitchen mixer tap, so no separate drinking-water tap is required.

The kit includes the filter head, cartridge, pressure limiting valve, flexible braided hose and installation hardware.

How It Works

The KlearFlow combines several filtration and water-treatment technologies within a single cartridge.

1. Sediment Filtration

The 1 micron filtration stage helps reduce fine suspended particles, sediment, dirt, dust and rust.

This makes the system particularly useful for homes with older plumbing, rural water supplies or higher sediment levels.

2. Activated Carbon Filtration

The carbon block reduces chlorine and unwanted chemicals that can affect drinking-water taste and odour.

3. KDF Media

KDF media provides additional treatment for certain heavy metals, including lead, and sulphide compounds.

4. Scale Control & Antibacterial Technology

Scale-control treatment helps inhibit mineral deposits and limescale build-up in household plumbing and appliances.

The cartridge also incorporates antibacterial technology designed to inhibit bacterial growth within the filtration media.

Scale control does not remove all dissolved hardness minerals, and antibacterial media protection is not a substitute for dedicated water disinfection.

Key Specifications

Compatibility

The Aquano KF17KIT is a complete underbench filtration system that can be used as an alternative to the Puretec PureMix Z7.

It connects to a compatible kitchen mixer tap, allowing filtered water to be supplied through your existing tap without requiring a separate drinking-water faucet.

Replacement cartridge: Aquano KF17.

Easy Cartridge Replacement

The KlearFlow features a quick-twist cartridge connection and an integrated valve in the filter head.

The valve automatically isolates water at the filter head during cartridge replacement, allowing the cartridge to be changed without turning off the main water supply.

When replacement is required, remove the existing cartridge and fit a new Aquano KF17.

Installation

The KF17KIT is designed for underbench installation and connection to a compatible kitchen mixer tap.

The complete kit includes the filter head, 17" cartridge, pressure limiting valve, flexible braided hose and installation hardware.

The filter must be installed within its specified operating pressure and temperature limits.

Allow sufficient space beneath the bench for the 17" cartridge and future filter changes.

Maintenance

The included KF17 cartridge has a rated capacity of up to 75,000 litres, with a stated service period of 24 months.

Actual cartridge life depends on incoming water quality, sediment levels and household water use.

High sediment concentrations may cause the cartridge to become blocked before its rated treatment capacity is reached.

Replace the cartridge when its service life or treatment capacity has been reached, or sooner if water flow or filtration performance deteriorates.
