PURETEC EM2-80 REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGES

Puretec EM2-80 JR Service Kit – PL20MP1 & PX01MP1 Replacement Cartridges

The Puretec EM2-80 JR Service Kit combines the two genuine replacement cartridges specified for existing Puretec EM2-80 dual-stage whole-house filtration systems: the PL20MP1 20 micron washable pleated sediment cartridge and the PX01MP1 1 micron graded polyspun sediment cartridge.

Both cartridges use Puretec's 4.5" × 10" MaxiPlus format. The PL20MP1 provides the first, coarser sediment stage, followed by the PX01MP1 for finer nominal filtration down to 1 micron.

Puretec's maintenance guide continues to specify this cartridge combination for EM2-75 and EM2-80 systems, making it the correct service pair for an existing EM2-80 that still uses its original filtration configuration.

Quick answer: this service kit contains 1 × PL20MP1 and 1 × PX01MP1. Both are 4.5" × 10" MaxiPlus cartridges, not 20" × 2.5" filters. Stage one provides washable 20 micron filtration, while stage two provides graded 1 micron sediment filtration. Puretec's EM2-80 specification lists the complete system at up to 80 L/min.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Two Genuine Puretec Replacement Cartridges

1 × Puretec PL20MP1

A 20 micron washable pleated polyester cartridge used as the coarse first sediment stage in the EM2-80.

```

1 × Puretec PX01MP1

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

```
DUAL-STAGE SEDIMENT FILTRATION

20 Micron First, 1 Micron Second

The EM2-80 uses two different sediment cartridges to progressively reduce suspended particulate material.

Stage 1 uses the PL20MP1 to capture coarser dirt, rust, sand and silt. Stage 2 uses the PX01MP1 to provide finer nominal filtration down to 1 micron.

This cartridge pair is intended for sediment filtration. Neither cartridge is an activated-carbon filter.

STAGE 1

Puretec PL20MP1 20 Micron Pleated Sediment Cartridge

The PL20MP1 is Puretec's washable 20 micron MaxiPlus pleated cartridge.

It uses non-woven reusable polyester filtration media supported around a polypropylene core, creating a large pleated surface area for sediment loading.

20 Micron

Provides the coarser first sediment stage specified for the EM2-80.

```

4.5" × 10"

Uses Puretec's 10-inch MaxiPlus cartridge format.

94 L/min

Puretec lists the individual PL20MP1 cartridge at up to 94 litres per minute.

Washable

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

Pleated Polyester

The large pleated surface area is designed to provide substantial sediment-holding capacity.

Pre-Filtration

The coarser first stage helps reduce the sediment load reaching the finer PX01MP1 cartridge.

```
STAGE 2

Puretec PX01MP1 1 Micron Polyspun Sediment Cartridge

The PX01MP1 is the second filtration stage specified by Puretec for the EM2-80.

It is manufactured from virgin polypropylene using a graded-density polyspun construction that captures sediment throughout the depth of the cartridge.

1 Micron

Provides the finer nominal filtration stage after the 20 micron pleated cartridge.

```

4.5" × 10"

Uses the same 10-inch MaxiPlus format as the PL20MP1.

75 L/min

Puretec's current PX01MP1 cartridge listing specifies an individual cartridge flow rate of 75 litres per minute.

```
WHAT IT REDUCES

Designed for Sediment Removal

The EM2-80 cartridge combination is designed to provide progressive physical filtration of suspended particulate material.

  • Dirt and suspended sediment
  • Rust particles
  • Sand
  • Silt
  • Algae and similar suspended material
  • Fine particulate material through the 1 micron second stage
This is not a carbon-filtration service kit. The PL20MP1 and PX01MP1 are both sediment cartridges. Do not rely on this standard EM2-80 cartridge pair for dedicated chlorine, taste or odour reduction.
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS

Puretec EM2-80 System Details

The EM2-80 is an earlier Puretec EM Series configuration. Puretec's maintenance documentation continues to identify PL20MP1 and PX01MP1 as the replacement cartridges for EM2-75 and EM2-80 systems.

Specification Puretec EM2-80
Stage 1 PL20MP1 – 20 micron washable pleated sediment
Stage 2 PX01MP1 – 1 micron graded polyspun sediment
Nominal Final Filtration Rating 1 micron
Published Maximum System Flow 80 L/min
Published Operating Temperature 0–52°C, protect from freezing
Published Connection 1½" BSP [40 mm]
Cartridge Format 4.5" × 10" MaxiPlus
Primary Application Dual-stage whole-house sediment filtration

Puretec's legacy EM2-80 specification listed the complete system at 80 L/min, while Puretec's current standalone PX01MP1 cartridge page lists that individual cartridge at 75 L/min. These are separate manufacturer specifications from different product documents and should not be treated as the same rating.

WHEN TO REPLACE

How Often Should the EM2-80 Cartridges Be Changed?

Puretec's current WH/EM maintenance guide specifies cartridge replacement every 6–12 months.

The guide also notes that practical cartridge life depends on water quality and usage, so servicing can be required sooner where sediment loading is high or filtration flow becomes restricted.

  • 6–12 month maintenance interval has been reached
  • Water flow has noticeably decreased
  • PL20MP1 has become heavily loaded with sediment
  • PX01MP1 is visibly loaded or restricted
  • Incoming water conditions have changed
  • Previous cartridge replacement date is unknown
WASHABLE FIRST STAGE

Can the PL20MP1 Be Cleaned?

Yes. Puretec specifies the PL20MP1 as a washable pleated sediment cartridge.

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

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

SERVICE PROCESS

What Is Involved in an EM2-80 Cartridge Service?

  • Confirm the installed system is an EM2-80
  • Confirm replacement cartridges are PL20MP1 and PX01MP1
  • Turn off the incoming water supply
  • Relieve pressure using a downstream tap or housing relief where fitted
  • Unscrew the filter bowls using the appropriate wrench if required
  • Remove the existing cartridges
  • Clean the bowls with soap and warm water
  • Rinse the bowls thoroughly
  • Inspect the housing O-rings for damage
  • Apply suitable food-grade silicone lubricant where required
  • Install PL20MP1 in stage one
  • Install PX01MP1 in stage two
  • Ensure both cartridges are correctly seated
  • Reassemble the housings correctly
  • Restore the water supply gradually and check for leaks
O-RING MAINTENANCE

Inspect the Housing Seals During Servicing

Puretec's WH/EM maintenance instructions recommend checking the housing O-rings whenever cartridges are replaced.

Damaged O-rings should be replaced before the system is returned to service. Puretec recommends replacing applicable housing O-rings approximately every 3–5 years to help maintain a watertight seal.

Only suitable food-grade silicone lubricant should be used where lubrication is required.

BEFORE ORDERING

Check These Details First

  • Installed system is a Puretec EM2-80
  • Stage one requires PL20MP1
  • Stage two requires PX01MP1
  • Both cartridges are 4.5" × 10" MaxiPlus
  • You require 20 micron followed by 1 micron sediment filtration
  • Filter bowls are accessible for servicing
  • Existing housings and O-rings are serviceable
  • Incoming water can be safely isolated
DIY OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE

Can the EM2-80 Cartridges Be Replaced Yourself?

Puretec provides a routine WH/EM cartridge replacement procedure covering water isolation, depressurisation, bowl cleaning, seal inspection, cartridge installation and leak checking.

Replacement may therefore be practical where the system is accessible, in serviceable condition and can be safely isolated and repressurised.

Professional servicing may be appropriate where the installation is difficult to access or has existing faults. Cracked housings, damaged O-rings, seized bowls, leaking valves or associated pipework are separate from routine cartridge replacement.
