PURETEC FILTERWALL PREMIUM CARE KIT
Puretec FR-F4 Premium Care Kit for FilterWall F4 & F4E Systems
The Puretec FR-F4 Premium Care Kit is the manufacturer-specified maintenance kit for compatible Puretec FilterWall F4 and F4E whole-house filtration systems.
The kit contains all three replacement cartridges required by the F4 filtration sequence: the PX05MP1 sediment cartridge, CB10MP1 carbon block cartridge and SCALEPROTECT-MP1 scale prevention cartridge.
Puretec also supplies replacement O-rings and food-grade lubricant with the FR-F4 Premium Care Kit, allowing applicable filter-housing seals to be serviced at the same time as the cartridges.
Quick answer:
the Puretec FR-F4 is the genuine Premium Care Kit for FilterWall F4 and F4E systems. It includes PX05MP1, CB10MP1 and SCALEPROTECT-MP1 cartridges together with O-rings and lubricant. The complete F4 system is rated at 30 L/min and is designed for sediment, chlorine and scale reduction. Puretec recommends replacing the filtration cartridges approximately every 6–12 months depending on water quality and usage.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
What's Included in the Puretec FR-F4?
PX05MP1
5 micron, 4.5" × 10" MaxiPlus graded polyspun sediment cartridge used as the first filtration stage.
```
CB10MP1
10 micron, 4.5" × 10" bonded activated carbon block cartridge for chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment reduction.
SCALEPROTECT-MP1
4.5" × 10" scale prevention cartridge designed to minimise scale accumulation while retaining calcium and magnesium.
Replacement O-Rings
Applicable filter-housing seals are included as part of the current Puretec Premium Care Kit.
Food-Grade Lubricant
Included for applicable O-ring lubrication during filter-housing maintenance and reassembly.
Model-Specific Service Set
The kit is configured for FilterWall F4 filtration rather than being a generic three-cartridge replacement pack.
```
THREE-STAGE FILTRATION
Sediment, Carbon & Scale Treatment in One Service Kit
The FilterWall F4 uses three different treatment stages because each cartridge addresses a different part of the incoming mains-water supply.
Stage 1 removes sediment using the PX05MP1. Stage 2 uses the CB10MP1 carbon block for chlorine, unwanted taste and odour reduction. Stage 3 uses SCALEPROTECT-MP1 to help minimise scale accumulation.
The FR-F4 packages all three manufacturer-specified replacements together so the complete F4 filtration sequence can be serviced at the same time.
STAGE 1
PX05MP1 5 Micron Sediment Cartridge
The first stage of the FilterWall F4 uses the Puretec PX05MP1, a 5 micron graded polyspun sediment cartridge.
It is designed to capture suspended particulate material including dirt, rust, sand, silt, algae and sediment before the water moves through the carbon and scale-treatment stages.
5 Micron
The PX05MP1 has a nominal particulate filtration rating of 5 micron.
```
Graded Polyspun
Its polypropylene depth-filtration construction captures particulate material through the filter media.
4.5" × 10"
The cartridge uses Puretec's 10-inch MaxiPlus format required by the FilterWall F4.
```
STAGE 2
CB10MP1 Carbon Block Cartridge
The second stage uses the Puretec CB10MP1, a bonded activated carbon block cartridge with a nominal 10 micron filtration rating.
Puretec specifies the CB10MP1 for significant reduction of chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.
The individual cartridge has a listed flow rate of up to 30 L/min, matching the nominal flow rate of the FilterWall F4 system.
STAGE 3
SCALEPROTECT-MP1 Scale Prevention Cartridge
The third stage of the FilterWall F4 uses Puretec's SCALEPROTECT-MP1.
It is specifically designed to minimise scale accumulation in pipes, appliances and on glass surfaces while retaining calcium and magnesium in the water.
Puretec lists the cartridge for flows up to 30 L/min, making it part of the F4's 30 L/min three-stage filtration arrangement.
Scale prevention is different from conventional water softening.
SCALEPROTECT-MP1 is designed to help minimise scale accumulation while retaining calcium and magnesium. It should not be described as removing all hardness minerals from the water.
COMPATIBILITY
Which Systems Does the FR-F4 Suit?
Puretec specifies the FR-F4 maintenance kit for both the FilterWall F4 and FilterWall F4E.
FilterWall F4
The standard F4 uses PX05MP1, CB10MP1 and SCALEPROTECT-MP1 and includes the applicable integrated bypass arrangement.
```
FilterWall F4E
The F4E uses the same three filtration cartridges and the same FR-F4 maintenance-kit code, with differences in the complete system configuration.
```
Do not treat FR-F4 as a universal FilterWall service kit.
FilterWall F3, F5 and F6 systems use different cartridge combinations and different Premium Care Kit codes.

WHEN TO SERVICE
How Often Should the FR-F4 Cartridges Be Replaced?
Puretec specifies cartridge replacement approximately every 6–12 months for FilterWall F Series systems, depending on water quality and usage.
Service life can vary because sediment levels, chlorine concentration, hardness conditions and total water consumption differ between properties.
- 6–12 month service interval has been reached
- Water flow has noticeably decreased
- Unwanted taste or odour has returned
- Sediment loading has increased
- Scale-control servicing is due
- Previous filter replacement date is unknown
O-RING MAINTENANCE
Why O-Rings & Lubricant Are Included
The FilterWall's cartridges sit inside reusable filter housings that rely on correctly maintained O-rings to seal after cartridge replacement.
Puretec recommends inspecting the O-rings for damage and lubrication whenever the filter bowls are opened.
Puretec also provides a general recommendation to replace applicable FilterWall O-rings approximately every 3–5 years to help maintain a watertight seal.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
What Is Involved in Servicing a FilterWall F4?
- Confirm the installed system is a FilterWall F4 or F4E
- Isolate the incoming water supply
- Open a downstream tap to relieve system pressure
- Unscrew the filter bowls using the appropriate housing spanner
- Remove and dispose of the used cartridges appropriately
- Clean the bowls with soap and warm water
- Rinse the filter bowls thoroughly
- Inspect O-rings for damage and lubrication
- Install PX05MP1 in stage one
- Install CB10MP1 in stage two
- Install SCALEPROTECT-MP1 in stage three
- Reassemble the housings without overtightening
- Restore the water supply gradually
- Check the system for leaks
- Flush the system before returning it to normal use
AFTER REPLACEMENT
Flush & Check the System
After the filter bowls have been reassembled and the water supply restored, Puretec's FilterWall maintenance procedure requires the system to be checked for leaks.
Once the system has been verified, Puretec instructs users to open a downstream tap and allow water to flow for approximately 2 minutes to flush the system and purge trapped air.
If a filter bowl leaks, isolate the system again before continuing.
Check cartridge alignment, the housing O-ring and sealing surfaces before returning the system to normal operation.
BEFORE ORDERING
Check These Details Before Buying the FR-F4
- Your installed system is FilterWall F4 or F4E
- Stage one cartridge is PX05MP1
- Stage two cartridge is CB10MP1
- Stage three cartridge is SCALEPROTECT-MP1
- System uses 4.5" × 10" MaxiPlus cartridges
- Filter bowls are accessible for routine servicing
- Incoming water can be safely isolated
- Existing housings and valves are serviceable
DIY OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
Can the FR-F4 Be Fitted Yourself?
Routine cartridge replacement may be practical where the FilterWall is designed for owner maintenance and you can safely isolate the incoming water, relieve pressure and correctly reseal all three filter housings.
Puretec cautions that the filter bowls can be heavy when removed, so suitable access and care are required while servicing the system.
Professional servicing is appropriate where access or condition is uncertain.
Damaged seals, seized housings, leaking valves, pipework faults or other existing problems can require additional work beyond the standard FR-F4 cartridge replacement.
PROFESSIONAL REPLACEMENT
Professional FilterWall F4 Servicing
Professional cartridge replacement may be available in selected Installed Today Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
A service can include removal of the existing cartridges, cleaning of accessible filter bowls, checking accessible seals, fitting the FR-F4 replacement cartridges and checking the system for leaks and normal operation after repressurisation.
Repairs to damaged housings, valves, pipework, bypass components or other filtration-system parts are separate where required.
