PURETEC EM2-150 REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES

Puretec EM2-150 JR Service Kit – PL20MP2 & PX01MP2 Replacement Cartridges

The Puretec EM2-150 JR Service Kit combines the two genuine replacement cartridges specified for the Puretec EM2-150 dual-stage whole-house filtration system: the PL20MP2 20 micron washable pleated sediment cartridge and the PX01MP2 1 micron graded polyspun sediment cartridge.

Both cartridges use Puretec's large 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus format. The PL20MP2 provides the first coarse sediment stage, followed by the PX01MP2 for finer 1 micron sediment filtration.

This two-cartridge combination restores the filtration sequence specified by Puretec for the EM2-150.

Quick answer: this EM2-150 service kit contains 1 × PL20MP2 and 1 × PX01MP2. Both measure 4.5" × 20". The first cartridge provides washable 20 micron pre-filtration, followed by a 1 micron fine sediment stage. Puretec lists the complete EM2-150 at up to 150 L/min.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Two Genuine Puretec Replacement Cartridges

1 × Puretec PL20MP2

A washable 20 micron pleated polyester sediment cartridge used as the first stage in the EM2-150.

```

1 × Puretec PX01MP2

A 1 micron graded polyspun polypropylene sediment cartridge used as the finer second filtration stage.

```
DUAL-STAGE SEDIMENT FILTRATION

Coarse Sediment First, Fine Sediment Second

The Puretec EM2-150 uses two different sediment cartridges so particulate loading is progressively reduced through the system.

Stage 1 uses the PL20MP2 at 20 micron to capture larger suspended material. Stage 2 uses the PX01MP2 at 1 micron to provide finer particulate filtration.

Both stages are sediment filters. The EM2-150 does not use a carbon cartridge as part of this standard cartridge pair.

STAGE 1

Puretec PL20MP2 20 Micron Pleated Sediment Cartridge

The PL20MP2 is a washable pleated sediment cartridge manufactured from non-woven polyester media supported around a polypropylene core.

Its pleated construction creates a large filtration area for capturing suspended material such as dirt, sand, silt and rust before the water moves into the finer second filtration stage.

20 Micron

Provides the coarse first filtration stage specified for the EM2-150.

```

4.5" × 20"

Uses Puretec's large MaxiPlus cartridge format.

188 L/min

Puretec lists the individual PL20MP2 cartridge at up to 188 litres per minute.

Washable

Puretec specifies the pleated polyester media as washable and reusable where appropriate.

Large Surface Area

Pleated media increases the available area for sediment collection.

Sediment Only

The PL20MP2 does not contain activated carbon for dedicated chlorine or taste-and-odour treatment.

```
STAGE 2

Puretec PX01MP2 1 Micron Polyspun Sediment Cartridge

The PX01MP2 provides the finer second filtration stage in the EM2-150.

It is manufactured from virgin polypropylene using Puretec's graded-density polyspun construction, providing nominal filtration down to 1 micron.

1 Micron

Provides fine nominal sediment filtration after the 20 micron first stage.

```

4.5" × 20"

Uses the same MaxiPlus physical format as the PL20MP2.

152 L/min

Puretec lists the individual PX01MP2 cartridge at up to 152 litres per minute.

```
WHAT IT REDUCES

Designed for Sediment Filtration

The EM2-150 cartridge pair is intended to reduce suspended particulate material through progressively finer filtration.

  • Dirt and suspended sediment
  • Rust particles
  • Sand
  • Silt
  • Algae and similar suspended material
  • Fine particulate material down to the nominal second-stage rating
This is not a carbon-filtration service kit. PL20MP2 and PX01MP2 are both sediment cartridges, so the standard EM2-150 cartridge pair should not be described as providing dedicated chlorine, taste or odour reduction.

WHEN TO REPLACE

How Often Should the EM2-150 Be Serviced?

Puretec's EM Series maintenance guidance specifies cartridge replacement approximately every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage.

Service may be required sooner where sediment loading is high or when system flow becomes noticeably restricted.

  • 6–12 month service interval has been reached
  • Water flow has noticeably reduced
  • PL20MP2 is heavily loaded with sediment
  • PX01MP2 is visibly loaded or restricted
  • Incoming water conditions have changed
  • Previous cartridge service date is unknown
WASHABLE FIRST STAGE

Can the PL20MP2 Be Cleaned?

Yes. Puretec specifies the PL20MP2 as a washable pleated cartridge.

Surface sediment may be removed from the pleated media where appropriate, which can help restore flow during the service period.

Washing does not make the cartridge permanent. Replace it when required by the system maintenance schedule or when cleaning no longer restores suitable condition or performance.

SERVICE PROCESS

What Is Involved in an EM2-150 Cartridge Service?

  • Confirm the installed system is an EM2-150
  • Isolate the incoming water supply
  • Relieve system pressure
  • Open the filter housings using the applicable housing wrench
  • Remove the existing PL20MP2 and PX01MP2 cartridges
  • Clean the filter bowls with soap and warm water
  • Rinse the bowls thoroughly
  • Inspect the housing O-rings and sealing surfaces
  • Apply suitable food-grade silicone lubricant where required
  • Install PL20MP2 in stage one
  • Install PX01MP2 in stage two
  • Ensure each cartridge is seated correctly
  • Reassemble the housings without overtightening
  • Restore water pressure gradually
  • Check the complete system for leaks and normal flow
O-RING MAINTENANCE

Inspect Housing Seals at Each Service

Puretec recommends inspecting the filter-housing O-rings whenever cartridges are serviced or replaced.

Damaged, kinked or deteriorated O-rings should be replaced before the system is returned to service. Puretec's general whole-house guidance recommends replacement approximately every 3–5 years, subject to condition.

Use only suitable food-grade silicone lubricant where lubrication is required.

BEFORE ORDERING

Check These Details First

  • Installed system is a Puretec EM2-150
  • Stage one requires PL20MP2
  • Stage two requires PX01MP2
  • Both cartridges are 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus
  • You require sediment filtration rather than carbon treatment
  • Filter housings are accessible
  • Existing housings and O-rings are serviceable
  • Incoming water can be safely isolated
DIY OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

Can the EM2-150 Cartridges Be Replaced Yourself?

Routine cartridge replacement may be practical where the filtration system can be safely isolated, depressurised, opened and correctly resealed.

The EM2-150 uses large 20-inch MaxiPlus housings, which can be heavy when full of water. Suitable access and sufficient working space are important.

Professional servicing may be appropriate where access or system condition is uncertain. Seized housings, damaged seals, leaking valves, cracked bowls or associated pipework issues can require additional parts or repairs beyond the cartridge pair.
