With thousands of PureMix Water Filter Systems out there in Australia and New Zealand, many users are wanting to know the difference between the original X6 and newer X7 version of this popular inline water filter.

2019 saw the discontinuation of the X7 and the appearance of the all new Puremix Z7 Inline Water Filter System which offers some further benefits over the Puremix X Series model.

Thanks to the compatible Quick-Change connection on both the X-Series (X6 and X7) systems and the newer Z-Series, users are now able to replace their water filter cartridge with the new Z7-R Replacement Water Filter Cartridge

Please Note: To adapt your X-Series filter head to fit the Z-Series cartridges as well, you'll need to make a minor adjustment. There are three small plastic tabs inside the X-Series filter head that will need to be snapped off to allow the Z-Series cartridge to be used.  A pair of needle-nose pliers usually work best to cleanly break off the tabs.  Your filter head will then suit all versions of the PureMix cartridges in the X and Z ranges.
