The Puretec EM2-100 is a high-flow dual-stage whole-house water filtration system designed primarily for rainwater. It combines sediment filtration with a second dual-purpose carbon-impregnated cartridge to help reduce sediment, chlorine taste and odour before water is distributed throughout the property.
The current EM2-100-LF uses a washable PL05MP2 5 micron pleated sediment cartridge followed by a DP10MP2 10 micron dual-purpose carbon cartridge. Puretec publishes a maximum flow rate of 100 litres per minute with 1-inch BSP / 25mm connections.
Installed Today offers the Puretec EM2-100 as a supply-only whole-house filtration system, with supplied-and-installed options available across eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
The EM2-100 filters water at the point of entry before it travels through the property's plumbing system. Its first stage captures sediment, while the second cartridge provides further sediment filtration together with carbon treatment.
Puretec specifically states that the second-stage dual-purpose cartridge provides the added benefit of reducing chlorine, unpleasant taste and odour, including when a property switches to mains-water supply.
Whole-house filtration also helps reduce sediment and sludge reaching downstream pipework, appliances and ceramic-disc tapware.
Puretec designs the EM2 Series primarily for rainwater filtration before water is distributed throughout a home or building.
The EM2-100 is designed for high-flow point-of-entry filtration with a manufacturer-published maximum flow rate of 100 litres per minute.
Unlike sediment-only EM2 variants, the EM2-100 includes a dual-purpose carbon-impregnated second-stage cartridge.
The washable PL05MP2 first-stage cartridge reduces dirt, rust, silt and other suspended particles before they reach the second filtration stage.
The DP10MP2 carbon-impregnated cartridge provides sediment filtration while also reducing chlorine taste and odour.
Installing filtration at the point of entry helps reduce sediment and sludge entering plumbing, appliances and tapware throughout the property.
*Puretec specifies a 10-year parts warranty, with parts and labour covered for the first year. Consumable cartridges are excluded.
You need whole-house rainwater filtration with sediment reduction plus a carbon-treated second stage for chlorine taste and odour reduction.
You require more than 100 L/min flow, larger 1½-inch connections, finer sediment filtration than this model provides or microbiological disinfection as part of the same treatment system.
Confirm the water source, required flow, pipe size, water pressure, installation location and whether supplementary UV disinfection is required.
Puretec designs the EM2-100 specifically for rainwater. The manufacturer also lists the system for use with mains water, rivers, dams and bore water where its filtration capability is appropriate.
Water from untreated sources can require additional microbiological treatment. Puretec warns that the filtration system should not be used with microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after filtration.
Where disinfection is required, Puretec also lists the EM2-100 as suitable for use as pre-filtration before a UV system.
The EM2-100 uses two 20-inch MaxiPlus cartridges in sequence, allowing the first cartridge to manage sediment loading before water reaches the second dual-purpose filtration stage.
The washable 5 micron pleated sediment cartridge reduces dirt, rust, silt and particles while providing a large surface area for sediment capture.
The 10 micron carbon-impregnated dual-purpose cartridge provides additional sediment filtration plus chlorine taste and odour reduction.
Filtered water then continues into the property's plumbing system for use at connected outlets throughout the home or building.
Puretec lists the EM2-100 system as a 5 micron filtration system. The two individual cartridges have different ratings.
The first-stage PL05MP2 is a 5 micron washable pleated sediment cartridge. The second-stage DP10MP2 is a 10 micron carbon-impregnated dual-purpose cartridge.
The EM2-100 should therefore not be described as a 1 micron system. Customers requiring finer 1 micron filtration should consider another Puretec configuration designed for that filtration level.
Designed for high-flow whole-house filtration while minimising unnecessary flow restriction.
Separate sediment and dual-purpose stages help manage particle loading while providing additional carbon treatment.
The PL05MP2 pleated cartridge is washable and designed with a large surface area for sediment removal.
The DP10MP2 combines sediment filtration with chlorine taste and odour reduction in one cartridge.
The current EM2 design uses an integrated rust-proof and anti-flex aluminium wall-mount bracket.
The filtration system contains no powered filtration components and operates using available water pressure.

A 4.5-inch × 20-inch washable pleated sediment cartridge rated at 5 micron. It is designed for high sediment loading and reduction of dirt, silt, rust and particles.
A 4.5-inch × 20-inch carbon-impregnated dual-purpose cartridge rated at 10 micron. It provides sediment filtration together with chlorine taste and odour reduction.
Puretec lists the GR-EM2100 maintenance kit for the EM2-100 and EM2-110, containing the required replacement cartridges.
Puretec's current WH / EM maintenance guide specifies cartridge replacement every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage.
The washable first-stage cartridge can be cleaned where appropriate, but cleaning does not remove the requirement for periodic cartridge replacement.
Puretec also recommends replacing the housing O-rings approximately every 3–5 years to help maintain a watertight seal.
Yes. Puretec specifically lists the EM2-100 as suitable for UV system pre-filtration.
Removing suspended sediment before ultraviolet treatment can help improve the conditions required for effective UV exposure. Any UV system still needs to be correctly selected for the required flow and water quality.
The EM2-100 itself does not disinfect water and should not be treated as a replacement for UV or another appropriate disinfection process where microbiological treatment is required.
The EM2-100 is installed at the point of entry and requires a suitable mounting location where the housings can be securely supported and accessed for future cartridge servicing.
Puretec's current 2026 WH / EM installation guide states that installation must comply with local plumbing regulations and be completed by a licensed plumber.
Puretec lists the EM2-100 as being able to operate on gravity-feed pressure, and the filter itself requires no electrical power.
Actual flow on a gravity-fed system depends on tank height, available static pressure, pipe diameter, pipe length, fittings and household demand. The published 100 L/min figure is the system's maximum flow rating and is not a guarantee that every gravity-fed installation will achieve 100 L/min.
Two heavy-duty filter housings mounted to Puretec's integrated rust-proof anti-flex aluminium wall bracket.
The system is supplied with the PL05MP2 5 micron sediment cartridge and DP10MP2 10 micron dual-purpose carbon cartridge.
Connecting pipework, isolation valves, pressure-limiting devices and backflow-prevention valves are shown by Puretec as installation components and are not listed as included with the standard filter assembly.

Puretec recommends changing the cartridges every 6–12 months depending on water quality and usage. The PL05MP2 first-stage cartridge is washable and can be cleaned where appropriate between replacement intervals.
During servicing, the bowls should be cleaned and the O-rings inspected, lubricated with suitable food-grade silicone where necessary and replaced if damaged. Puretec recommends O-ring replacement approximately every 3–5 years.
After cartridge replacement, trapped air should be purged and the system flushed before being checked for leakage.
The EM2-100 reduces sediment, dirt, rust, silt and other suspended particles. Its second-stage DP10MP2 cartridge also reduces chlorine taste and odour.
The system has two filtration stages.
Stage 1 uses the Puretec PL05MP2, a washable 20-inch pleated sediment cartridge rated at 5 micron.
Stage 2 uses the Puretec DP10MP2, a 20-inch carbon-impregnated dual-purpose cartridge rated at 10 micron.
No. Puretec currently lists the EM2-100 as a 5 micron system. Customers requiring a finer 1 micron EM2 configuration should select a model specifically designed for that filtration level.
