The Puretec EM2-60 is a dual-stage whole-house rainwater filtration system designed to reduce sediment while also improving water taste and odour before the water is distributed throughout the property.
The current EM2-60-LF uses a washable PL05MP1 5 micron pleated sediment cartridge followed by a DP10MP1 10 micron dual-purpose carbon cartridge. Puretec publishes a maximum flow rate of 60 litres per minute with 1-inch BSP / 25mm connections.
Installed Today offers the Puretec EM2-60 as a supply-only whole-house filtration system, with supplied-and-installed options available across eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
The EM2-60 filters water at the point of entry before it travels through the property's plumbing system. The first filtration stage reduces sediment and suspended particles, while the second dual-purpose cartridge provides further filtration together with taste, odour and chemical reduction.
Puretec describes the EM2 Series as providing maximum filtration with minimal flow restriction while helping protect appliances, plumbing and ceramic-disc tapware from sediment and sludge build-up.
Puretec categorises the 10-inch EM2-60 as suitable for small-to-medium whole-house applications.
The EM2 Series is designed primarily for rainwater filtration before water enters the household plumbing system.
The EM2-60 combines a washable sediment cartridge with a dual-purpose carbon cartridge rather than using two sediment-only stages.
The PL05MP1 pleated first-stage cartridge reduces sediment, dirt, rust, algae and other suspended particles.
The DP10MP1 dual-purpose second-stage cartridge provides additional filtration while helping reduce unwanted taste and odour.
Point-of-entry filtration helps reduce sediment and sludge reaching household plumbing, tapware and connected appliances.
*Puretec specifies 10 years parts, with parts and labour covered for the first year. Consumable filter cartridges are excluded.
You need whole-house rainwater filtration at up to 60 L/min with sediment reduction plus a dual-purpose carbon stage for taste, odour and chemical reduction.
You require more than 60 L/min flow, larger pipe connections, 1 micron final filtration or integrated microbiological disinfection.
Confirm the water source, required flow, existing pipe size, available pressure, pump performance, mounting location and whether UV treatment is also required.
Puretec designs the EM2-60 specifically for rainwater. The manufacturer also lists the system as suitable for mains water, rivers, dams and bore water where its treatment capability suits the application.
Water from untreated sources may require additional microbiological treatment. Puretec warns against using the system with microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection.
Where microbiological treatment is required, the EM2-60 is also listed as suitable for pre-filtration before an appropriate UV system.
The EM2-60 passes incoming water through two 10-inch MaxiPlus cartridges before distributing the filtered water throughout the property.
The washable 5 micron pleated sediment cartridge reduces dirt, rust, algae, silt and other suspended particles.
The 10 micron dual-purpose carbon cartridge provides additional sediment filtration while reducing taste, odours and selected chemicals.
Filtered water continues into the property's plumbing system for use at connected taps, showers and appliances.
Puretec currently lists the EM2-60 as a 5 micron system.
The first-stage PL05MP1 sediment cartridge has a nominal rating of 5 micron, while the second-stage DP10MP1 dual-purpose cartridge is rated at 10 micron.
The EM2-60 should therefore not be described as a 1 micron filtration system. If final filtration down to 1 micron is required, another Puretec EM2 configuration should be selected.
Designed for whole-house filtration with a published maximum flow rate of 60 litres per minute.
Separate sediment and dual-purpose stages help manage particle loading while adding taste, odour and chemical reduction.
The PL05MP1 pleated cartridge is washable and provides a large filtration surface for sediment removal.
The DP10MP1 is designed for rainwater and bore-water applications and combines sediment filtration with carbon treatment.
The EM2 Series uses an integrated rust-proof, anti-flex aluminium wall-mount bracket.
The filtration system operates using available water pressure and contains no powered filtration components.

Puretec offers the GR-EM260 Premium Care Kit specifically for EM2-60 systems, including genuine replacement cartridges, O-rings and food-grade lubricant.
Puretec specifies cartridge replacement every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage.
The PL05MP1 first-stage cartridge is washable, allowing sediment loading to be managed between replacement intervals where appropriate. Both cartridges still require periodic replacement to maintain system performance.
Puretec also recommends replacing housing O-rings approximately every 3–5 years to help maintain a watertight seal.
Yes. Puretec specifically lists the EM2-60 as suitable for UV system pre-filtration.
Removing sediment before ultraviolet treatment helps create better conditions for UV exposure. The correct UV system must still be selected according to the required flow and water quality.
The EM2-60 itself does not disinfect water and should not be treated as a replacement for UV or another appropriate microbiological treatment process.
The EM2-60 is installed at the point of entry and requires a secure mounting position with suitable access for future filter servicing.
Puretec's whole-house installation guide states that this system must be installed in accordance with local plumbing regulations by a licensed plumber.
Yes. Puretec lists the EM2 Series as capable of operating on gravity-feed pressure, and the filtration system itself requires no electrical power.
Actual available flow depends on tank elevation, static pressure, pump arrangement where fitted, pipe size, pipe length and household demand. The published 60 L/min figure is the maximum filter flow rating and does not guarantee 60 L/min in every gravity-fed installation.
Two heavy-duty whole-house filter housings mounted to the Puretec integrated aluminium wall bracket.
The EM2-60 includes the PL05MP1 5 micron washable sediment cartridge and DP10MP1 10 micron dual-purpose cartridge.

A typical installation involves connecting the system into the property's main water line, securely mounting the filter assembly and providing suitable isolation, pressure control and backflow protection where required.
For rainwater systems, the existing pump, water pressure, pipe size and expected household demand should be checked before installation to confirm that the complete system is suitable.
Eligible Gold Coast customers can also order the EM2-60 with a matching installation option. Its 1-inch connections and 60 L/min maximum flow rating should be matched to the property's existing pipework and required water demand.
Adequate service access should be retained beneath the housings so both cartridges can be removed and replaced without unnecessary plumbing alterations.
The primary maintenance requirement is replacement of the PL05MP1 and DP10MP1 cartridges every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage.
During servicing, the filter bowls should be cleaned with warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly. The O-rings should be checked for damage and lubricated with suitable food-grade silicone where required.
Puretec recommends O-ring replacement approximately every 3–5 years. After cartridge replacement, trapped air should be purged and the system flushed before all housings and plumbing connections are checked for leaks.
The EM2-60 reduces sediment, dirt, rust and algae through its first-stage cartridge. Its DP10MP1 second-stage cartridge additionally reduces taste, odours and selected chemicals.
The EM2-60 has two filtration stages.
Stage 1 uses the Puretec PL05MP1, a 4.5-inch × 10-inch washable pleated sediment cartridge rated at 5 micron.
