THREE-STAGE F6 FILTRATION
Sediment, Carbon & ScaleProtect Treatment
The FilterWall F6 uses three different filtration technologies to address different mains-water concerns before water is distributed throughout the home.
Stage 1 provides fine sediment filtration with the PX05MP2. Stage 2 uses the CB10MP2 activated carbon block. Stage 3 uses SCALEPROTECT-MP2 to help reduce the effects of scale buildup.
The F6 combines the large 20-inch MaxiPlus format with a nominal whole-system flow rate of 55 litres per minute.
STAGE 1
PX05MP2 5 Micron Polyspun Sediment Cartridge
The first FilterWall F6 stage uses the Puretec PX05MP2.
This graded polyspun polypropylene cartridge has a nominal 5 micron rating and is designed to capture suspended particulate material including dirt, rust, sand, silt, algae and sediment.
5 Micron
Provides fine nominal sediment filtration before the carbon and scale-treatment stages.
```
Graded Polyspun Media
Depth-filtration construction allows particulate material to be captured through the thickness of the filter media.
4.5" × 20"
The cartridge uses Puretec's larger 20-inch MaxiPlus format required by the FilterWall F6.
```
STAGE 2
CB10MP2 10 Micron Carbon Block Cartridge
The second stage uses the Puretec CB10MP2, a bonded activated carbon block cartridge with a nominal 10 micron rating.
Puretec specifies the cartridge for significant reduction of chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.
The CB10MP2 has an individual listed cartridge flow rate of up to 60 L/min, while the complete FilterWall F6 is rated at 55 L/min.
STAGE 3
SCALEPROTECT-MP2 Scale Prevention Cartridge
The final filtration stage uses Puretec's SCALEPROTECT-MP2.
Puretec designed this cartridge to help reduce scale buildup in pipes, appliances and on glass surfaces while retaining calcium and magnesium in the water.
The SCALEPROTECT-MP2 uses the same 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus format as the other F6 cartridges and is rated for flow from 0–55 L/min.
ScaleProtect is not conventional water softening.
The SCALEPROTECT-MP2 is designed to help reduce scale accumulation while retaining calcium and magnesium rather than removing hardness minerals through an ion-exchange softening process.
WHAT THE F6 TREATS
Whole-House Filtration for Mains Water
Puretec positions the FilterWall F6 for mains-water homes requiring higher-flow three-stage filtration with dedicated scale treatment.
Sediment
The PX05MP2 reduces suspended dirt, rust, sand, silt and other particulate material.
```
Chlorine, Taste & Odour
The CB10MP2 activated carbon stage provides treatment for chlorine and unwanted taste and odour.
Scale Buildup
The SCALEPROTECT-MP2 helps minimise scale accumulation within compatible household water systems.
```
PFAS FILTRATION
Activated Carbon & PFAS Reduction
Puretec currently identifies the FilterWall F Series, including the F6, as targeting PFAS alongside chlorine and sediment.
Puretec explains that PFAS molecules are attracted to and retained on the surface of the carbon media as water passes through the activated carbon filtration stage.
Performance depends on the complete system being correctly installed, operated and maintained within Puretec's stated conditions.
COMPATIBILITY
Which System Does the FR-F6 Suit?
The FR-F6 is specifically listed by Puretec as the Premium Care Kit for the FilterWall F6.
Current FilterWall F6 colour variants use the same cartridge combination of PX05MP2, CB10MP2 and SCALEPROTECT-MP2.
Do not substitute the FR-F5 kit.
FilterWall F5 and F6 systems both use 20-inch MaxiPlus cartridges and operate at up to 55 L/min, but the cartridge combinations are different. The F6 uses SCALEPROTECT-MP2 as its third stage.

WHEN TO SERVICE
How Often Should the FR-F6 Cartridges Be Replaced?
Puretec's current FilterWall maintenance guide specifies replacement of the filtration cartridges approximately every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage.
Puretec also identifies a decrease in flow or the return of unwanted taste and odour as signs that the filtration system may require cartridge replacement.
- 6–12 month service interval has been reached
- Whole-house water flow has noticeably decreased
- Unwanted taste or odour begins to return
- Sediment loading has increased
- Scale-treatment service interval is due
- Previous replacement date is unknown
WHY SERVICE LIFE VARIES
What Affects Cartridge Life?
Water Consumption
Higher household demand passes a greater total volume through each filtration stage.
```
Sediment & Chlorine
Higher particulate or chlorine loading can use filtration capacity more quickly.
Water Hardness
The demand placed on the SCALEPROTECT-MP2 varies with the mineral conditions of the incoming water supply.
```
O-RINGS & LUBRICANT
Service the Filter Housing Seals at the Same Time
Puretec includes O-rings and food-grade lubricant in the FR-F6 because routine maintenance requires each reusable filter housing to be opened and correctly resealed.
The O-rings should be inspected for damage and adequate lubrication before the filter bowls are reinstalled.
Puretec's maintenance guide recommends replacing applicable housing O-rings approximately every 3–5 years to help maintain a watertight seal.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
What Is Involved in Servicing a FilterWall F6?
- Confirm the installed system is a FilterWall F6
- Move the inlet shut-off valve to the closed position
- Open a downstream tap to relieve system pressure
- Unscrew the three filter bowls using the appropriate spanner
- Remove the used cartridges
- Clean the bowls with soap and warm water
- Rinse the filter bowls thoroughly
- Check O-rings for damage and lubrication
- Install PX05MP2 in stage one
- Install CB10MP2 in stage two
- Install SCALEPROTECT-MP2 in stage three
- Reassemble and secure the filter bowls correctly
- Restore the incoming water supply
- Check the system for leaks
- Flush the system before returning it to normal use
AFTER SERVICING
Flush the FilterWall Before Normal Use
After the cartridges have been fitted and the water supply restored, Puretec instructs the system to be checked for leaks.
Once the FilterWall has been verified, Puretec's current maintenance procedure calls for a downstream tap to be opened for approximately 2 minutes to flush the filtration system and purge trapped air.
Do not continue operating a leaking filter housing.
If leakage occurs, isolate the system again and check cartridge alignment, the O-ring and the bowl sealing surfaces before returning the system to service.
GENUINE REPLACEMENTS
Why Use the Manufacturer-Specified FR-F6 Kit?
Puretec specifies genuine replacement cartridges to maintain the filtration system's performance standards and support applicable manufacturer warranty requirements.
The FR-F6 packages all three correct cartridge stages together, helping avoid mixing up the F5 and F6 configurations or ordering an incorrect cartridge length.
The current FR-F6 product information also identifies genuine cartridges as part of maintaining the FilterWall's intended service life and performance.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
Can the FR-F6 Be Fitted Yourself?
Routine cartridge maintenance may be practical where you are familiar with the FilterWall servicing procedure and can safely isolate the water supply, relieve pressure and correctly reseal the three housings.
Puretec cautions that the filter bowls are heavy when removed. The larger 20-inch F6 housings therefore require suitable access and care during servicing.
Professional servicing is appropriate where access or system condition is uncertain.
Damaged seals, leaking valves, seized housings, bypass faults or other plumbing issues may require additional parts or repair work beyond the FR-F6 maintenance kit.
