Klearflow KF10 Compact Replacement Filter Cartridge 1 Micron - Fits Puretec Z Series NZ

Compact multi-layer filtration for tight spaces.

The Klearflow KF10 is a small, compact 10" replacement cartridge — ideal for kitchens, laundries and caravans where space is tight. It reduces chlorine, sediment, rust and algae, all from a single quick-twist cartridge.

It fits directly into any Puretec Z Series system and replaces the Z2-R cartridge. It also retrofits Pentair Everpure systems. The cartridge can be mounted horizontally or vertically, so it works in setups where an upright fit isn't an option. For household, indoor use.

Rated for up to 38,000 litres or 12 months, whichever comes first, the KF10 filters down to 1 micron. The quick-twist design makes changeovers fast and clean — no spanners, no mess.

How it works

Water passes through several filtration layers in sequence. Sediment is captured first, then the anti-bacterial ball, carbon block and KDF media reduce bacteria growth, chlorine, chemicals and heavy metals. The final scale-control layer helps prevent calcium and hard-water minerals from building up in your pipes and appliances. The result is cleaner, better-tasting water with fewer contaminants.

It reduces chlorine, sediment, rust, algae, chemicals, heavy metals (including sulphide and lead) and scale, filtering down to 1 micron.

How often do I replace it?

The KF10 is rated for up to 38,000 litres, or around 12 months, whichever comes first. If your water is heavily sedimented, you may find it needs replacing sooner.

Both. The KF10 can be installed either way, which makes it a good fit for compact or awkward spaces like under a sink or in a caravan.

What does the quick-twist design mean?

The cartridge twists in and out of the housing by hand, so changeovers are fast and clean — no spanners or tools needed.

Is it suitable for rural and bore water?

Yes — it suits mains, council, tank and bore water. Bore water quality varies significantly. We recommend testing your bore water before selecting a filtration system — get in touch and we'll help you choose the right configuration for your supply.
