The Puretec FilterWall F5 is a high-flow, three-stage whole-house water filtration system designed for medium to large homes and properties with higher household water demand. Installed at the mains-water point of entry, it filters water before it reaches taps, showers, bathrooms, laundries and other outlets throughout the property.
The F5 combines two stages of sediment filtration with carbon block filtration to help reduce sediment, chlorine, PFAS, chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour. Its larger 20-inch cartridges provide a manufacturer-listed flow rate of 55 litres per minute.
The system is housed behind a robust aluminium cover, operates without electrical power and includes a bypass arrangement for servicing. Puretec positions the F5 as the larger FilterWall option where enhanced sediment filtration is required but dedicated ScaleProtect™ treatment is not.
Installed Today offers the Puretec FilterWall F5 for supply-only ordering across supported Australian locations, with supplied-and-installed options available across eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
The FilterWall F5 is installed where mains water enters the property, allowing the water supply to pass through the filtration system before being distributed around the home.
This point-of-entry arrangement means filtration is not limited to one kitchen drinking tap. Water supplied to showers, bathrooms, laundries, kitchen outlets and outdoor taps downstream of the system can all benefit from the filtration process.
The F5 uses two sediment stages followed by carbon block filtration. Puretec identifies the system for reducing common mains-water contaminants including sediment, chlorine, PFAS, chemicals, bad taste and odour.
Puretec positions the F5 as the larger FilterWall format, with 20-inch cartridges and a 55 L/min flow rate suited to homes requiring more capacity than the smaller F3 and F4 systems.
The manufacturer identifies the F5 and F6 for larger homes with two or more bathrooms where several outlets may need water within the same period.
The F5 is particularly relevant where sediment filtration is a priority because its first two cartridge stages are dedicated to sediment reduction.
A washable pleated cartridge followed by a finer polyspun cartridge provides two sediment-filtration stages before the water reaches the carbon filter.
Puretec identifies the FilterWall F5 as helping reduce PFAS, chlorine and other unwanted chemicals present in mains water.
The final carbon block cartridge helps improve water taste and odour throughout outlets located downstream of the system.
*Puretec states the 10-year FilterWall warranty comprises 1 year parts and labour followed by 9 years parts only. Filter cartridges are excluded and current manufacturer warranty conditions apply.
You have a medium to large mains-water home, need greater whole-house flow capacity and want enhanced sediment filtration together with chlorine, PFAS, chemical, taste and odour reduction.
Scale build-up is also a significant concern. The FilterWall F6 uses the same larger 55 L/min format but incorporates Puretec ScaleProtect™ instead of the F5's washable first sediment stage.
Confirm the water source, household flow demand, incoming pressure, hardness, installation position, available space and access required for future filter maintenance.
Puretec positions the F5 and F6 for larger homes and properties with two or more bathrooms. Both use 20-inch cartridges and provide a nominal flow rate of 55 L/min.
This compares with the smaller F3 and F4 models, which use 10-inch cartridges and provide a nominal flow rate of 30 L/min.
Actual suitability should be based on expected simultaneous water demand rather than home size alone. Bathroom count, shower use, occupants and other fixtures can all affect the required whole-house flow capacity.
The first stage uses the PL20MP2 MaxiPlus™ 20-inch pleated sediment cartridge. Puretec identifies this as a washable sediment cartridge with a nominal 20-micron rating.
The second stage uses the PX05MP2 MaxiPlus™ polyspun sediment cartridge with a nominal 5-micron rating for finer particulate filtration.
The final CB10MP2 MaxiPlus™ carbon block cartridge has a nominal 10-micron rating and targets chlorine, chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour.
The larger F5 format provides a nominal 55 litres per minute, supporting higher household water demand than the smaller 30 L/min F3 and F4 models.
Two dedicated sediment stages provide enhanced particulate filtration before water reaches the final carbon block cartridge.
Puretec identifies PFAS among the common mains-water contaminants the F5 is designed to help reduce.
The PL20MP2 pleated sediment cartridge used in stage one is listed by Puretec as washable, which can be useful where incoming sediment loads are higher.
The filter assembly is housed inside an aluminium enclosure designed to provide a clean finished appearance and protection for the internal filtration equipment.
The FilterWall F5 operates through the household water supply and does not require an electrical connection.

*Where incoming line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, Puretec requires an approved pressure-limiting device to comply with applicable Australian and New Zealand plumbing requirements.
The FilterWall F5 is designed for installation on the cold mains-water line so incoming water passes through the filter before entering the household plumbing. Puretec states that installation must be completed by a licensed plumber.
Puretec's current installation guide provides several installation approaches depending on the property and chosen location.
The system can be secured on a suitable smooth concrete slab where the installation position provides adequate support and access.
The supplied mounting posts can be used for suitable garden-bed or similar installations where the FilterWall is positioned away from a building wall.
Puretec also provides for suitable wall-mounted installation where the wall, plumbing layout and fixing method are appropriate.
The enclosure should be protected from excessive heat, direct sunlight, saltwater spray, direct water exposure and freezing conditions. The selected position should also provide adequate drainage.
The F5 is designed for a nominal flow rate of 55 L/min, but flow rate and water pressure are not the same thing. The F5 does not operate as a pressure-boosting system.
Actual pressure at household outlets depends on incoming mains pressure, plumbing size and condition, simultaneous household demand and the condition of the filter cartridges.
Puretec specifies an operating pressure range of 200–875 kPa and requires an approved pressure-limiting device where incoming pressure exceeds 500 kPa.
Yes. Puretec specifically identifies the FilterWall F5 as a system designed to help reduce PFAS, chlorine and sediment in mains water.
Because the F5 operates at the point of entry, this filtration applies before water is distributed throughout the home rather than being limited to one drinking-water outlet.
No. The FilterWall F5 is the high-flow model designed around enhanced sediment filtration. It uses two sediment stages followed by a carbon block cartridge.
Puretec lists the F5 as suitable for hardness levels below 80 ppm. The manufacturer lists the FilterWall F6 as the equivalent 55 L/min model incorporating ScaleProtect™ technology for applications where scale management is required.
Yes. Because the F5 filters water before it is distributed around the home, chlorine reduction is not restricted to drinking water.
Filtered water can also reach showers, baths and bathroom taps downstream of the FilterWall. Puretec states that reducing exposure to chlorine and other unwanted contaminants can help support softer-feeling skin and healthier-looking hair.
Puretec offers the FilterWall F5 in a broad selection of neutral and feature colours, allowing the external enclosure to be coordinated with different home exteriors.
Puretec notes that displayed colours are indicative and actual finishes may vary. The manufacturer lists a 2-year finish warranty for selected custom colours, subject to current warranty conditions.
Puretec recommends replacing FilterWall cartridges approximately every 6 to 12 months, depending on incoming water quality and household usage.
A noticeable reduction in flow or the return of unwanted taste and odour can indicate that the cartridges require replacement.
The complete replacement set is the FR-F5 Premium Care Kit. Puretec states that the kit provides the genuine replacement cartridges together with O-rings and food-grade lubricant for routine servicing.
20-inch MaxiPlus™ washable pleated sediment cartridge with a nominal 20-micron rating.
20-inch MaxiPlus™ polyspun sediment cartridge with a nominal 5-micron rating.
20-inch MaxiPlus™ carbon block cartridge with a nominal 10-micron rating.
Puretec also recommends inspecting the housing O-rings during servicing and replacing the O-rings approximately every 3–5 years to help maintain a watertight seal.
Yes. Puretec identifies the PL20MP2 first-stage pleated sediment cartridge as washable.
This can be useful where incoming water carries greater sediment loads, but washing the first cartridge does not remove the need for routine cartridge replacement. Puretec still specifies a general replacement interval of 6–12 months depending on water quality and usage.
The three-stage filtration assembly is supplied within the FilterWall aluminium enclosure.
The F5 configuration uses PL20MP2 pleated sediment, PX05MP2 polyspun sediment and CB10MP2 carbon block filtration.
Puretec lists the standard FilterWall F5 with its bypass included, allowing water to bypass the filtration system when required for servicing or repair.
Choose supply only if you already have a licensed plumber arranged and simply need the Puretec FilterWall F5 supplied.
Supplied-and-installed options may be available across eligible Brisbane service areas, subject to plumbing, pressure, access and site requirements.

The FilterWall F5 can suit medium to large Brisbane homes where greater whole-house filtration capacity is required and the incoming mains-water conditions fall within the manufacturer's operating requirements.
Before installation, the mains entry point, household flow requirements, incoming pressure, water hardness, installation surface, drainage and future cartridge access should be checked.
Where incoming pressure exceeds 500 kPa, Puretec specifies installation of an approved pressure-limiting device.
Gold Coast customers may be able to choose the FilterWall F5 as a supplied-and-installed whole-house filtration system where the property and service area are suitable.
The larger 20-inch cartridge format requires more vertical space than the F3 and F4 systems. Installation planning should therefore confirm the final position, pipework, incoming pressure, drainage and sufficient access for future cartridge servicing.
The main advantage of the F5 within the FilterWall range is its combination of higher flow capacity and enhanced sediment filtration.
The smaller F3 and F4 systems use 10-inch cartridges and provide 30 L/min. The F5 and F6 move to larger 20-inch cartridges and provide 55 L/min for homes with greater water demand.
Within the larger pair, the F5 uses two sediment stages and carbon filtration. The F6 uses sediment, carbon and ScaleProtect™ where scale management is required.
| Model | Home Size | Flow Rate | Cartridge Size | Filtration Configuration | ScaleProtect™ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FilterWall F3 | Small to medium | 30 L/min | 10" | Dual sediment + carbon | No |
| FilterWall F4 | Small to medium | 30 L/min | 10" | Sediment + carbon + ScaleProtect™ | Yes |
| FilterWall F5 | Medium to large / 2+ bathrooms | 55 L/min | 20" | Dual sediment + carbon | No |
| FilterWall F6 | Medium to large / 2+ bathrooms | 55 L/min | 20" | Sediment + carbon + ScaleProtect™ | Yes |
You need the larger 55 L/min FilterWall platform and your priority is enhanced sediment filtration together with chlorine, PFAS, chemical, taste and odour reduction.
You need the same larger 55 L/min format but also need Puretec ScaleProtect™ because scale deposits or moderate water hardness are a concern.
