HIGH-FLOW THREE-STAGE FILTRATION
Complete FilterWall F5 Cartridge Replacement
The FilterWall F5 uses larger 20-inch MaxiPlus cartridges to support higher whole-house flow than the smaller F3 and F4 FilterWall models.
Stage 1 uses the PL20MP2 for coarse sediment filtration. Stage 2 uses the finer PX05MP2. Stage 3 uses the CB10MP2 carbon block to reduce chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.
The complete FilterWall F5 is rated at up to 55 litres per minute, making it the higher-flow FilterWall option for compatible mains-water applications without the dedicated ScaleProtect stage used by the F6.
STAGE 1
PL20MP2 20 Micron Pleated Sediment Cartridge
The Puretec PL20MP2 is the first cartridge in the F5 filtration sequence.
It uses pleated sediment media with a nominal 20 micron rating and is designed to capture larger suspended particulate material before the water moves to the finer second-stage cartridge.
20 Micron
Provides the coarser first sediment stage within the F5 system.
```
Washable Cartridge
Puretec specifies the PL20MP2 as a washable sediment cartridge.
4.5" × 20"
The cartridge uses Puretec's larger 20-inch MaxiPlus format.
```
STAGE 2
PX05MP2 5 Micron Polyspun Sediment Cartridge
The second stage uses the Puretec PX05MP2, a graded polyspun sediment cartridge with a nominal 5 micron rating.
Puretec's PX Series is designed to capture suspended material including dirt, rust, sand, silt, algae and sediment.
The finer PX05MP2 follows the PL20MP2 to provide additional particulate filtration before water reaches the final carbon block stage.
STAGE 3
CB10MP2 10 Micron Carbon Block Cartridge
The final F5 filtration stage uses the Puretec CB10MP2.
Manufactured from bonded activated carbon, the cartridge is designed to significantly reduce chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.
It has a nominal 10 micron rating and a manufacturer-listed individual cartridge flow of up to 60 L/min.
Individual cartridge flow and complete-system flow are different specifications.
The CB10MP2 cartridge is listed at up to 60 L/min, while Puretec rates the complete FilterWall F5 system at up to 55 L/min.
WHAT THE F5 TREATS
Sediment, Chlorine, Taste & Odour Filtration
Puretec designed the FilterWall F5 as a three-stage whole-house filtration system for mains water.
Sediment
The PL20MP2 and PX05MP2 stages progressively reduce suspended particulate material.
```
Chlorine
The CB10MP2 carbon block provides chlorine reduction at the final filtration stage.
Taste & Odour
Activated carbon treatment is designed to reduce unwanted tastes and odours from the mains-water supply.
```
PFAS FILTRATION
FilterWall F5 & PFAS Reduction
Puretec currently identifies the FilterWall F5 as a whole-house system designed to filter PFAS, chlorine and sediment.
Puretec explains that the activated-carbon filtration stage attracts and retains PFAS molecules on the surface of the carbon media as water passes through the system.
Actual treatment performance depends on the complete system being correctly installed, serviced and operated within Puretec's specified conditions.
COMPATIBILITY
Which System Does the FR-F5 Suit?
The FR-F5 is specifically listed by Puretec as the Premium Care Kit for FilterWall F5 systems.
Current F5 colour variants use the same filtration sequence of PL20MP2, PX05MP2 and CB10MP2.
Do not substitute another FilterWall maintenance kit.
F3 and F4 models use smaller 10-inch cartridges. The F6 uses 20-inch cartridges like the F5 but replaces the PL20MP2 stage with a dedicated SCALEPROTECT-MP2 cartridge arrangement.

WHEN TO SERVICE
How Often Should the FR-F5 Cartridges Be Replaced?
Puretec's FilterWall maintenance guidance specifies cartridge replacement approximately every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage.
Actual service life can vary with sediment loading, chlorine concentration, total water consumption and other incoming water conditions.
- 6–12 month service interval has been reached
- Whole-house water flow has noticeably reduced
- Unwanted taste or odour begins to return
- Sediment cartridges are heavily loaded
- Incoming water conditions have changed
- Previous cartridge replacement date is unknown
WHY REGULAR SERVICE MATTERS
Maintaining the Intended F5 Filtration Sequence
Each cartridge has a finite service capacity. Sediment gradually loads the first two stages, while the carbon block's treatment capacity is consumed as water passes through it.
Replacing the cartridges at the applicable interval helps maintain the filtration functions and flow characteristics expected from the complete FilterWall F5.
Puretec also specifies genuine replacement cartridges to maintain applicable performance standards and system warranty requirements.
O-RINGS & LUBRICANT
Service the Filter Housing Seals at the Same Time
The FR-F5 includes O-rings and food-grade lubricant because cartridge replacement involves opening and resealing the FilterWall's reusable filter housings.
Accessible seals should be checked for damage, cleanliness and correct seating before each housing is reassembled.
If a filter housing, seal, valve or other system component is damaged, it may require separate replacement rather than relying on the maintenance kit alone.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
What Is Involved in Servicing a FilterWall F5?
- Confirm the installed system is a FilterWall F5
- Isolate the incoming water supply
- Relieve pressure through a downstream outlet
- Open the three filter housings
- Remove the existing cartridges
- Clean the accessible filter bowls
- Inspect the housing O-rings and sealing surfaces
- Use food-grade lubricant where required
- Install PL20MP2 in stage one
- Install PX05MP2 in stage two
- Install CB10MP2 in stage three
- Reassemble the filter housings correctly
- Restore the water supply gradually
- Check the system for accessible leaks
- Flush the filtration system before normal use
BEFORE ORDERING
Check These Details Before Buying the FR-F5
- Your installed system is a Puretec FilterWall F5
- Stage one uses PL20MP2
- Stage two uses PX05MP2
- Stage three uses CB10MP2
- System uses 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus cartridges
- You do not require the F6 ScaleProtect configuration
- Filter housings are accessible for servicing
- Incoming water can be safely isolated
DIY OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
Can the FR-F5 Be Fitted Yourself?
Routine cartridge replacement may be suitable for owner servicing where the FilterWall is designed for it and the incoming water can be safely isolated and depressurised.
The F5 uses large 20-inch MaxiPlus filter bowls that contain a significant amount of water and require suitable access during removal and reinstallation.
Professional servicing is appropriate where access or system condition is uncertain.
Seized housings, leaking valves, damaged O-rings or existing plumbing faults may require more than a standard cartridge replacement.
PROFESSIONAL REPLACEMENT
Professional FilterWall F5 Servicing
Professional cartridge replacement may be available in selected Installed Today Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
A maintenance service can include removal of the existing cartridges, cleaning of accessible filter bowls, inspection of accessible seals, fitting the FR-F5 replacement components and checking for leaks and normal flow after repressurisation.
Repairs to damaged housings, valves, bypass components, pipework or other filtration-system parts are separate where required.

FINAL CHECK
Is the Puretec FR-F5 the Right Maintenance Kit?
The Puretec FR-F5 Premium Care Kit is the manufacturer-specified service package for Puretec FilterWall F5 whole-house filtration systems.
It contains the correct high-flow three-stage replacement combination: PL20MP2 20 micron washable sediment filtration, PX05MP2 5 micron polyspun sediment filtration and CB10MP2 10 micron carbon block treatment, together with applicable O-rings and food-grade lubricant.
Before ordering, confirm that your system is a FilterWall F5 rather than an F6. Puretec recommends replacing the cartridges approximately every 6–12 months depending on water quality and usage. During servicing, clean the filter housings, inspect the seals, reinstall the three cartridges in the correct sequence and check the system for leaks before returning it to normal operation.
