The Puretec FilterWall F5 is a high-flow, three-stage whole-house water filtration system designed for larger homes and properties with multiple bathrooms. Installed at the point where mains water enters the property, it filters water before it is distributed to taps, showers, bathrooms, laundries and other outlets throughout the home.
The F5 uses two dedicated sediment-filtration stages followed by a large carbon block cartridge to help reduce sediment, chlorine, PFAS, chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour. Its larger 20-inch cartridges provide a manufacturer-listed flow rate of up to 55 litres per minute, making it the higher-flow option in the FilterWall range for homes that do not require ScaleProtect™ treatment.
The system features a durable aluminium enclosure, requires no electrical power and is available in a range of standard and custom exterior colours.
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 filters mains water at the point of entry. Water is treated before it travels through the home's plumbing, allowing filtered water to be delivered to outlets throughout the property rather than only to a dedicated drinking-water tap.
The F5 uses a three-stage configuration consisting of a pleated sediment cartridge, a 5-micron polyspun sediment cartridge and a large carbon block cartridge. Together, these stages are designed to reduce sediment and common mains-water contaminants while improving taste and odour.
Puretec specifically identifies the F5 as capable of reducing PFAS, chlorine and sediment, while the carbon filtration stage also targets chemicals, taste and odour.
Puretec positions the F5 for larger homes, particularly properties with two or more bathrooms where greater whole-house water flow may be required.
The 20-inch cartridges and 55 L/min manufacturer-listed flow rate make the F5 suitable where several household outlets may be used within the same period.
The F5 is designed as a point-of-entry system for mains or town water where sediment, chlorine, PFAS, taste and odour reduction are priorities.
The F5 uses two separate sediment-filtration stages to capture particles before water reaches the final carbon filtration stage and household outlets.
Puretec identifies the F5 as a whole-house solution for reducing PFAS, chlorine, chemicals and other common mains-water contaminants.
The third-stage carbon block cartridge helps improve the taste and odour of water supplied throughout the home.
*Puretec states the FilterWall warranty comprises 1 year parts and labour followed by 9 years parts only, excluding filter cartridges and subject to current manufacturer warranty conditions.
You have a larger home or multiple bathrooms and want high-flow whole-house filtration for sediment, chlorine, PFAS, chemicals, taste and odour.
Scale deposits or harder water are also a significant concern. The FilterWall F6 retains the larger 55 L/min format but replaces one sediment stage with Puretec ScaleProtect™ technology.
Confirm water source, household flow requirements, incoming pressure, hardness, installation position, plumbing connections and enough access for future cartridge changes.
Puretec positions the FilterWall F5 for larger homes and properties with two or more bathrooms. It uses 20-inch cartridges and provides up to 55 L/min of flow, compared with the 30 L/min rating of the smaller F3 and F4 models.
The correct system should still be selected according to actual household water demand. Bathroom count, number of occupants, simultaneous shower use and other high-flow fixtures all affect the amount of water that may need to pass through the filtration system at once.
Incoming water first passes through the PL20MP2 20-inch MaxiPlus™ pleated sediment cartridge, providing the first stage of particulate filtration.
Water then passes through the PX05MP2 20-inch MaxiPlus™ polyspun sediment cartridge for additional sediment reduction.
The final CB10MP2 20-inch MaxiPlus™ carbon block cartridge targets chlorine, chemicals, taste and odour before the water enters the household plumbing.
The larger 20-inch filter configuration supports up to 55 litres per minute, making the F5 suitable for larger and multiple-bathroom homes.
Unlike the ScaleProtect-equipped F6, the F5 dedicates its first two stages to sediment filtration before water reaches the carbon block stage.
Puretec identifies the FilterWall F5 as a whole-house filtration option designed to help reduce PFAS across the household water supply.
The large carbon block cartridge helps reduce chlorine, chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour in mains water.
The filtration system is housed behind a robust aluminium cover designed to provide protection and a clean exterior finish.
The FilterWall F5 operates through the household water supply and does not require an electrical connection.

*Puretec states that where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure-limiting device must be installed in accordance with applicable Australian and New Zealand plumbing requirements.
The FilterWall F5 is designed to be installed where the mains-water supply enters the property so filtered water can be distributed throughout the home. Puretec specifies installation by a licensed plumber.
Puretec lists an operating pressure range of 200–875 kPa for the FilterWall F5.
However, the manufacturer also states that where incoming line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure-limiting device must be installed to comply with applicable Australian and New Zealand plumbing requirements.
The 55 L/min rating describes the system's water-flow capacity. It should not be interpreted as a guarantee that the filtration system will increase household water pressure. Actual outlet pressure depends on incoming supply pressure, plumbing, simultaneous demand and other site conditions.
The FilterWall F5 is not the ScaleProtect™ model. Its three filtration stages consist of two sediment cartridges followed by a carbon block cartridge.
Puretec lists the F5 as suitable for water hardness below 80 ppm. Where scale deposits or harder water are a significant concern, Puretec directs customers toward the FilterWall F6, which provides the same 55 L/min flow class but includes a ScaleProtect™ cartridge.
Yes. Puretec specifically identifies the FilterWall F5 as a whole-house filtration solution for PFAS reduction.
Because the F5 is installed at the point of entry, filtration occurs before mains water is distributed around the home. This means the filtration benefit extends beyond one drinking tap to water used for cooking, showering, bathing, laundry and other household activities downstream of the system.
Yes. The FilterWall F5 filters water before it enters the household plumbing, so its chlorine reduction also applies to shower and bathroom water located downstream of the filtration system.
Puretec states that reducing chlorine and unwanted contaminants in shower water can support softer, healthier-looking skin and hair and may help reduce dryness or irritation associated with chlorine exposure.
Puretec offers the larger FilterWall F5 in a broad range of enclosure colours. Current manufacturer selections include core neutral finishes as well as made-to-order colour options.
Puretec states that displayed colours are indicative only and actual product colours can vary. Availability, lead times and finish warranty conditions should be checked for the selected colour before ordering.
Puretec recommends replacing FilterWall cartridges approximately every 6 to 12 months, depending on water quality and household usage.
Reduced water flow or the return of unwanted taste and odour can indicate that the cartridges are becoming exhausted or blocked with captured contaminants.
The F5 replacement cartridge set is supplied as the FR-F5 Premium Care Kit. Puretec specifies genuine replacement cartridges to maintain filtration performance and warranty requirements.
PL20MP2
20" MaxiPlus™ pleated sediment cartridge.
PX05MP2
20" MaxiPlus™ polyspun sediment cartridge.
CB10MP2
20" MaxiPlus™ carbon block cartridge.
Puretec states that the F3 and F5 use a washable first-stage sediment cartridge, which can be useful where incoming water contains higher sediment loads.
Cleaning does not eliminate the need for scheduled replacement. Puretec continues to recommend replacing the complete cartridge set as required for optimum filtration performance and hygiene.

The FilterWall F5 can suit larger Brisbane homes where whole-house mains-water filtration and higher flow capacity are required but dedicated ScaleProtect™ treatment is not needed.
Before installation, the property's incoming pressure, mains-water entry point, pipework, available mounting space and future cartridge-service access should be checked. Where incoming pressure exceeds 500 kPa, Puretec requires an approved pressure-limiting device.
Gold Coast customers may be able to select the FilterWall F5 as a supplied-and-installed whole-house water filtration system where the property and service location are suitable.
The larger 20-inch cartridge configuration requires more vertical space than the smaller F3 and F4 models, so installation space, access, incoming water pressure and ongoing servicing clearance should all be considered before ordering.
The main reason to move from the smaller FilterWall models to the F5 is water-flow capacity. Puretec's smaller F3 and F4 systems use 10-inch cartridges and provide 30 L/min, while the larger F5 and F6 use 20-inch cartridges and provide up to 55 L/min.
This additional capacity makes the F5 more appropriate for larger properties and multiple-bathroom homes where several outlets may operate within the same period.
The second major difference is filtration configuration. The F5 provides two sediment-filtration stages, while the F6 replaces one of those stages with ScaleProtect™ for homes where scale management is required.
| Model | Manufacturer Home Guide | Flow Rate | Cartridge Size | Filtration Focus | ScaleProtect™ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FilterWall F3 | Small to medium home | 30 L/min | 10" | Dual sediment + carbon | No |
| FilterWall F4 | Small to medium home | 30 L/min | 10" | Sediment + carbon + scale management | Yes |
| FilterWall F5 | Large home / 2+ bathrooms | 55 L/min | 20" | Dual sediment + carbon | No |
| FilterWall F6 | Large home / 2+ bathrooms | 55 L/min | 20" | Sediment + carbon + scale management | Yes |
You need the larger 55 L/min FilterWall format and your priority is enhanced sediment filtration together with chlorine, PFAS, chemical, taste and odour reduction.

No. Puretec lists the FilterWall F5 as requiring no electrical power.
The FilterWall F5 measures approximately 916 mm wide x 825 mm high x 227 mm deep.
The manufacturer lists 3/4-inch BSP female inlet and outlet connections.
The listed operating range is 200–875 kPa. An approved pressure-limiting device is required where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa.
No. The 55 L/min figure is a water-flow rating rather than a pressure-boosting specification. Actual household pressure depends on incoming supply pressure, pipework and simultaneous water demand.
Puretec states that FilterWall installation should be carried out by a licensed plumber.
Puretec describes the FilterWall F Series and F5 as a mains-water point-of-entry filtration system. A rainwater application should use equipment specifically selected for the source water and required treatment.
Yes. Puretec's F5 model information lists the bypass as included.
Puretec currently offers a range of neutral and custom FilterWall colours including Midnight Black, Charcoal, Mineral Grey, Stone White, Buttercup Cream, Open Skies, Lime Sherbet, Sweet Apricot, Cherry Blossom and Wisteria, subject to current availability.
Puretec lists a 10-year warranty for the FilterWall F5, comprising 1 year parts and labour followed by 9 years parts only. Filter cartridges are excluded and all warranty coverage remains subject to the current Puretec warranty terms and installation requirements.
Filter cartridges should generally be replaced every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage. Puretec specifies the FR-F5 Premium Care Kit for routine F5 cartridge replacement.
Correct installation, suitable incoming pressure and the use of genuine Puretec replacement cartridges are important for ongoing filtration performance and warranty compliance.
Choose supply only if you already have the required licensed plumber arranged and need the FilterWall F5 supplied.
Eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast customers can check supplied-and-installed options for their property.
Household flow demand, sediment requirements and whether ScaleProtect™ is required can be considered before selecting between the F3, F4, F5 and F6 models.
The Puretec FilterWall F5 is primarily suited to larger mains-water homes wanting high-flow whole-house filtration without dedicated ScaleProtect™ treatment. Its key strengths are its 55 L/min flow rate, large 20-inch cartridges, dual sediment-filtration stages and carbon treatment for chlorine, PFAS, chemicals, taste and odour.
The F5 is particularly relevant to homes with two or more bathrooms where the smaller 30 L/min FilterWall models may not provide the preferred flow capacity. If scale deposits or harder water are also a concern, the FilterWall F6 should be considered because it adds Puretec ScaleProtect™ while retaining the larger 55 L/min format.
Before ordering, confirm household flow requirements, incoming pressure, water hardness, mains-water connection, installation space and maintenance access.
