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, while the PX01MP2 provides finer 1 micron sediment filtration as the second stage.

This 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 are 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus cartridges. The PL20MP2 provides washable 20 micron pre-filtration, followed by the PX01MP2 at 1 micron. Puretec lists the complete EM2-150 at up to 150 L/min with a 1½" BSP connection.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Two Genuine Puretec Replacement Cartridges

1 × Puretec PL20MP2

A washable 20 micron pleated polyester sediment cartridge used as the first filtration 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 Filtration Followed by Fine Filtration

The EM2-150 uses two sediment cartridges in sequence rather than combining sediment and carbon filtration.

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

This staged approach helps distribute sediment loading across two cartridges while retaining the high-flow design of the EM2-150 system.

STAGE 1

Puretec PL20MP2 20 Micron Pleated Sediment Cartridge

The PL20MP2 is a washable pleated sediment cartridge manufactured from durable non-woven polyester media.

Puretec specifies it for sediment removal including dirt, sand, silt and rust, with a large pleated surface area designed to increase dirt-holding capacity.

20 Micron

Provides the coarser first filtration stage in the EM2-150.

```

4.5" × 20"

Uses Puretec's large MaxiPlus format.

188 L/min

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

Washable

The pleated polyester media is designed to be washable as part of applicable maintenance procedures.

Pleated Media

The pleated construction increases available filtration surface area.

Polypropylene Core

The pleated media is supported around a polypropylene core for structural strength.

```
STAGE 2

Puretec PX01MP2 1 Micron Polyspun Sediment Cartridge

The second filtration stage uses the PX01MP2, a graded polyspun sediment cartridge manufactured from virgin polypropylene.

Its nominal 1 micron rating provides finer sediment filtration after the water has already passed through the 20 micron PL20MP2 first stage.

1 Micron

Provides fine nominal sediment filtration as the second EM2-150 stage.

```

4.5" × 20"

Uses the same large MaxiPlus cartridge format as the first stage.

152 L/min

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

```
WHAT THE SYSTEM REDUCES

Designed for Sediment Removal

Puretec describes the EM2-150 as a dual-stage sediment filtration system designed particularly for high-flow rainwater applications.

  • Dirt and suspended particulate material
  • Rust particles
  • Sand and silt
  • Algae and similar suspended material
  • Coarse sediment through the 20 micron first stage
  • Finer sediment through the 1 micron second stage
The EM2-150 does not use a carbon cartridge. The PL20MP2 and PX01MP2 are both sediment cartridges. Do not describe this service kit as providing dedicated chlorine, taste or odour reduction.

FLOW RATE

Cartridge Flow vs Complete-System Flow

The individual cartridges have manufacturer-listed flow ratings higher than or close to the complete EM2-150 system flow, but they should not be treated as the system specification.

188 L/min PL20MP2 Cartridge
```
152 L/min PX01MP2 Cartridge
150 L/min Complete EM2-150

Complete-system flow is determined by the combined housings, cartridges, pipework, incoming pressure and overall installation.

Same Cartridge Pair, Different System Connections

Puretec currently specifies the same PL20MP2 and PX01MP2 cartridge combination for the EM2-140 and EM2-150.

WHEN TO SERVICE

How Often Should the EM2-150 Cartridges Be Replaced?

Puretec's EM Series maintenance guide specifies cartridge replacement approximately every 6–12 months.

Puretec also notes that cartridge life depends on water quality and usage, and service may be required sooner where sediment loading is high or water flow becomes restricted.

  • 6–12 month service interval has been reached
  • Water flow has noticeably reduced
  • Pleated first stage is heavily loaded
  • Fine sediment cartridge is visibly loaded
  • Incoming water conditions have changed
  • Previous cartridge replacement date is unknown
WASHABLE FIRST STAGE

Can the PL20MP2 Be Cleaned?

Yes. Puretec describes the PL20MP2 as a washable pleated sediment cartridge.

The pleated design allows surface sediment to be cleaned from the media where appropriate. However, washing does not mean the cartridge has an unlimited service life.

Follow the maintenance requirements of the complete EM2-150 and replace cartridges when their applicable service interval or condition requires it.

SERVICE PROCESS

What Is Involved in Servicing the EM2-150?

  • Confirm the system is an EM2-150
  • Turn off the incoming water supply
  • Relieve pressure through a downstream tap or housing pressure relief where fitted
  • Unscrew the filter bowls using the appropriate housing wrench if required
  • Remove the existing PL20MP2 and PX01MP2 cartridges
  • Clean the bowls with soap and warm water
  • Rinse the filter bowls thoroughly
  • Inspect the housing O-rings for damage
  • Apply suitable food-grade silicone lubricant where required
  • Install PL20MP2 in stage one
  • Install PX01MP2 in stage two
  • Ensure each cartridge is correctly seated over the housing spigot
  • Reassemble the filter housings correctly
  • Restore the water supply gradually
  • Check the system for leaks and normal flow
O-RING MAINTENANCE

Inspect Housing Seals During Every Service

Puretec recommends checking the filter-housing O-rings whenever the cartridges are changed.

If an O-ring is damaged it should be replaced before repressurising the system. Puretec's general whole-house maintenance guidance recommends replacing housing O-rings approximately every 3–5 years to help maintain a watertight seal.

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 cartridge is PL20MP2
  • Stage two cartridge is PX01MP2
  • Both cartridges are 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus format
  • You require 20 micron followed by 1 micron sediment filtration
  • Filter bowls are accessible for servicing
  • Existing housings and seals are serviceable
  • Incoming water can be safely isolated
DIY OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

Can the EM2-150 Cartridges Be Replaced Yourself?

Puretec provides a cartridge-replacement procedure for routine EM Series maintenance, so servicing may be practical where the water supply can be safely isolated and the large filter housings can be opened and resealed correctly.

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

Professional servicing may be appropriate where the system is difficult to access or has existing faults. Damaged housings, worn seals, seized bowls, leaking valves or associated pipework problems may require additional work beyond a standard cartridge replacement.
