PURETEC UNDERSINK FILTRATION

Puretec X4 Installation Brisbane & Gold Coast

JR Gas & Water supplies and installs the Puretec X4 under sink water filter across eligible Brisbane, Gold Coast and surrounding South East Queensland service areas.

The current Puretec X4-LF is a compact inline under sink drinking-water system supplied with a dedicated high-loop faucet. Puretec positions the X4 for mains, rain and harsh water applications where a compact single-cartridge filter is preferred over a larger twin-stage or reverse-osmosis system.

The system uses Puretec's IL150Q silver-impregnated inline cartridge with a nominal 1-micron filtration rating. It is designed to help reduce sediment, unpleasant taste and odour while retaining essential minerals and fluoride.

Puretec X4 at a glance: X4-LF inline under sink system, IL150Q silver-impregnated cartridge, nominal 1 micron filtration, dedicated high-loop faucet, 0–7 L/min flow range, 100–520kPa pressure range, 2–38°C temperature range, ¼" quick-connect plumbing, 12.5mm tap-hole requirement, horizontal or vertical mounting and current 3-year Puretec warranty.

Puretec X4 Supply & Installation at a Glance

1 Micron Filtration

Puretec publishes a nominal 1-micron filtration rating for the current X4 system.

Compact Inline Design

The single-cartridge layout uses substantially less cupboard space than many twin-housing filter systems.

Dedicated Filtered Tap

Filtered drinking water is delivered through a separate high-loop faucet rather than the existing kitchen mixer.

Flexible Mounting

The cartridge can be installed horizontally or vertically where the surrounding cupboard layout allows.

What Is the Puretec X4?

The Puretec X4 is a slimline inline drinking-water filter designed to fit beneath the kitchen bench.

Unlike a twin-housing system, the X4 uses one compact inline cartridge to provide the filtration treatment. Filtered water is then delivered through its own dedicated high-loop faucet.

The X4-LF package includes the IL150Q cartridge, faucet, mounting hardware and plumbing fittings required for a normal installation, subject to the actual plumbing arrangement beneath the sink.

The compact arrangement makes it particularly useful where cupboard space is limited or the customer wants a simpler dedicated drinking-water filter without moving into reverse osmosis or a larger multi-cartridge system.

How Does the Puretec X4 Filter Water?

The X4 uses Puretec's IL150Q inline silver GAC cartridge.

1 Micron Nominal Filtration

The cartridge filters down to a nominal 1 micron to help reduce fine sediment and particulate material.

Taste & Odour Treatment

The carbon filtration media is designed to help reduce unpleasant taste and odours in drinking water.

Silver-Impregnated Media

Puretec states that the silver-impregnated cartridge helps inhibit bacterial growth within the cartridge and extend cartridge life.

The X4 should not be interpreted as a bacteria-removal or disinfection system. Silver impregnation is a cartridge-preservation feature rather than a claim that the X4 disinfects untreated water.

Why Choose the Puretec X4?

Compact Footprint

The slimline single-cartridge design can fit into kitchens where a larger twin-housing system would occupy too much cupboard space.

Horizontal or Vertical Mounting

The X4 can be mounted in either orientation, providing more flexibility around shelves, plumbing and stored items.

Dedicated Drinking-Water Faucet

The existing kitchen mixer remains unchanged while filtered drinking water is supplied through the separate faucet.

Complete Plumbing Kit

Puretec supplies the normal installation fittings as part of the X4 package.

Multifunction Control Valve

The system includes a control valve for pressure management as part of the supplied installation hardware.

Simple Cartridge Servicing

The IL150Q inline cartridge can be replaced without replacing the complete filter system.

PRODUCT SUITABILITY

Is the Puretec X4 Right for Your Home?

A Good Choice If...

You want a compact dedicated-tap drinking-water filter with 1-micron nominal filtration and limited cupboard space.

Consider a Twin System If...

You want separate sediment and carbon cartridges, greater sediment-holding capacity or a more traditional twin-housing filtration arrangement.

Consider Another Technology If...

You specifically want bacterial reduction, reverse-osmosis treatment, fluoride reduction or whole-house filtration.

Suitable Water Sources

Puretec currently describes the X4 as suitable for mains, rain and harsh water.

This broader application positioning distinguishes it from some Puretec drinking-water filters designed specifically around treated mains or town water.

The actual suitability of rainwater or another non-mains source still depends on the overall water quality and whether additional sediment treatment or disinfection is required.

The X4 alone should not be treated as a substitute for UV disinfection or another microbiological treatment system where the source water presents a microbial risk.

Horizontal or Vertical Installation

The X4 can be installed either vertically or horizontally.

This can make installation easier where cupboard shelving, waste plumbing or other stored items restrict the available mounting position.

Puretec's previous dimensional guide allowed approximately 350mm × 120mm installation space depending on mounting orientation.

The final location should still allow practical access for future cartridge replacement and inspection of the plumbing connections.

Dedicated High-Loop Faucet

The X4 includes a separate high-loop filtered-water faucet.

This means the existing kitchen mixer continues to provide normal hot and cold water while the Puretec faucet is used only for filtered drinking water.

A dedicated outlet also means the filter cartridge is not consumed by normal kitchen cold-water use such as rinsing dishes or cleaning.

Puretec specifies a 12.5mm diameter mounting hole, so the sink or benchtop needs a suitable faucet position.

What Does the Puretec X4 Reduce?

Puretec currently positions the X4 to help improve drinking water by reducing:

Sediment

Bad taste

Odours

Fine particulate material within the cartridge's nominal filtration range

Puretec also states that the system retains essential minerals and fluoride rather than intentionally removing them.

The X4 should not be marketed as reverse osmosis, fluoride removal or a microbiological purification system.

Silver-Impregnated IL150Q Cartridge

The X4 uses Puretec's IL150Q replacement cartridge.

Puretec describes the cartridge as silver impregnated to help prevent bacterial growth within the cartridge and extend service life.

This is different from claiming the cartridge removes bacteria from source water.

Where bacterial treatment is required, the filtration system should be selected specifically around that treatment goal rather than relying on the X4's silver-impregnated media.

Installation & Commissioning

Connection to suitable existing cold-water plumbing, faucet fitting, filter mounting, flushing, leak checks and commissioning.

Possible Additional Work

Non-standard tap-hole work, difficult benchtop materials, cabinetry changes, replacement valves, plumbing alterations or pressure-related modifications may increase installation scope.

How Much Does Puretec X4 Installation Cost?

Current supplied-and-installed pricing is shown through JR's live product and installation selector.

The final Puretec X4 installation cost depends on whether the kitchen is ready for a straightforward dedicated-tap installation or requires additional tap-hole work, plumbing alterations, valve replacement, cabinetry modifications or pressure-related work.

A standard installation beneath an accessible kitchen sink with suitable cold-water plumbing is generally simpler than a retrofit requiring major changes to the faucet position or cupboard layout.

BRISBANE INSTALLATION

Puretec X4 Installation Brisbane

JR Gas & Water supplies and installs the Puretec X4 in Brisbane for homes wanting a compact dedicated-tap drinking-water filtration system.

The X4 can be particularly useful in kitchens with restricted cupboard space because the inline cartridge can be mounted horizontally or vertically.

JR checks the water source, cupboard layout, faucet position, existing plumbing and pressure conditions before completing the installation.

Eligible service coverage extends across Greater Brisbane and surrounding areas including Logan, Ipswich, Redlands and Moreton Bay.

GOLD COAST INSTALLATION

Puretec X4 Installation Gold Coast

JR Gas & Water also supplies and installs the Puretec X4 on the Gold Coast across eligible service areas.

The slimline format can suit homes wanting dedicated filtered drinking water without sacrificing the cupboard space required by a larger twin-housing or reverse-osmosis system.

JR assesses the mounting position, faucet location, water source, pressure and existing cold-water plumbing before commissioning the system.

Can the Puretec X4 Replace My Existing Filter?

Replacing Another X4

Usually the simplest pathway where the existing faucet, tubing and mounting location remain suitable.

Replacing a Single Inline Filter

Often straightforward where the existing cupboard layout and water connection suit the X4 package.

Replacing a Twin Filter

The X4 may free additional cupboard space, although plumbing and faucet connections may need alteration.

New Dedicated Filter Tap

A new installation requires a suitable faucet position and 12.5mm tap hole.

Changing From Mixer Filtration

The X4 uses a separate drinking-water faucet, so converting from a mixer-based filtration system changes how filtered water is delivered.

Upgrading Treatment

Customers wanting finer or more advanced treatment can compare Puretec Ultra Z or reverse-osmosis systems depending on the filtration goal.
