The Puretec FilterWall F6 is a high-flow, three-stage whole-house water filtration system designed for larger homes and properties with multiple bathrooms. Installed where mains water enters the property, it filters water before it reaches taps, showers, bathrooms, laundries and other outlets throughout the home.
The F6 combines 5-micron sediment filtration, carbon block filtration and Puretec ScaleProtect™ technology to help reduce sediment, chlorine, PFAS, chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour while helping manage scale build-up caused by moderate water hardness.
Its larger 20-inch cartridges provide up to 55 litres per minute of flow, making the F6 the higher-capacity ScaleProtect™ model within the FilterWall F Series.
The system requires no electrical power, is protected by a robust aluminium enclosure and is available in a selection of neutral and feature-colour finishes.
Installed Today offers the Puretec FilterWall F6 for supply-only ordering across supported Australian locations, with supplied-and-installed options available across eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
The FilterWall F6 is a point-of-entry filtration system. Incoming mains water passes through the filter before being distributed through the property's plumbing.
This means filtration is not restricted to a single kitchen drinking-water tap. Water supplied to showers, bathrooms, laundries, kitchens and other outlets downstream of the system can all pass through the FilterWall.
The F6 uses three different treatment stages: sediment filtration, carbon block filtration and ScaleProtect™. Together these stages target common mains-water contaminants while providing additional scale-management treatment.
Puretec positions the F6 for larger homes where the 55 L/min capacity of the larger FilterWall platform is more appropriate than the 30 L/min F3 and F4 models.
The F6 is designed for homes with multiple bathrooms and higher simultaneous water demand, using larger 20-inch cartridges to support greater flow.
The addition of ScaleProtect™ makes the F6 particularly relevant where light to medium scale deposits are also a concern.
The first-stage polyspun sediment cartridge captures fine particles before the water reaches the remaining treatment stages.
The carbon filtration stage helps reduce chlorine, PFAS and other unwanted contaminants while improving household water taste and odour.
The third-stage ScaleProtect™ cartridge helps manage scale-forming minerals and reduce difficult scale deposits on plumbing, appliances and household surfaces.
*Puretec states the 10-year warranty consists of 1 year parts and labour followed by 9 years parts only. Filter cartridges are excluded and current manufacturer warranty terms apply.
You have a larger mains-water home, two or more bathrooms, higher simultaneous water demand and want whole-house filtration together with ScaleProtect™.
You need the same larger 55 L/min FilterWall platform but scale management is not required. The F5 uses an additional sediment stage instead of ScaleProtect™.
Confirm water source, household flow demand, incoming pressure, water hardness, installation position, plumbing connections and maintenance access.
Puretec positions the F6 for large homes with two or more bathrooms. Its larger 20-inch cartridges provide up to 55 L/min of flow, compared with 30 L/min from the smaller F3 and F4 systems.
Actual suitability depends on simultaneous household water demand rather than bathroom count alone. The number of occupants, showers, baths and other fixtures being used at the same time can all affect required flow.
Incoming water first passes through the PX05MP2 MaxiPlus™ 20-inch polyspun sediment cartridge with a nominal 5-micron rating.
Water then passes through the CB10MP2 MaxiPlus™ 20-inch carbon block cartridge with a nominal 10-micron rating.
The final SCALEPROTECT-MP2 20-inch cartridge helps manage scale-forming minerals and reduce scale deposits.
The larger 20-inch FilterWall format provides up to 55 litres per minute for homes requiring greater whole-house filtration capacity.
The F6 incorporates Puretec ScaleProtect™ to help reduce scale build-up in plumbing, appliances and on household surfaces.
Puretec identifies PFAS among the contaminants targeted by the FilterWall F Series through its carbon filtration stage.
Carbon treatment helps reduce chlorine, chemicals, unwanted tastes and odours before water is distributed throughout the home.
The filtration assembly is protected by an aluminium enclosure designed to provide durability and a finished exterior appearance.
The FilterWall F6 operates through the household water supply and does not require an electrical power connection.

*Where incoming line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, Puretec requires an approved pressure-limiting device in accordance with applicable Australian and New Zealand plumbing requirements.
The FilterWall F6 should be installed at the point where the mains-water supply enters the property so water is treated before being distributed throughout the household. Puretec states that installation must be completed by a licensed plumber.
Puretec describes the FilterWall F Series as a whole-house filtration system specifically designed for mains or town water.
Rainwater, bore water, well water and other private water sources can have different sediment, mineral, microbial and chemical characteristics and should use filtration equipment selected for the actual source water and treatment requirements.
The F6 is designed to accommodate up to 55 L/min of flow. Flow rate and water pressure are different measurements, and the FilterWall does not operate as a pressure-boosting system.
Actual pressure available at household outlets depends on incoming mains pressure, pipework, simultaneous water demand and the condition of the filter cartridges.
Puretec specifies an operating pressure range of 200–875 kPa. Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure-limiting device must be installed.
The F6 uses a dedicated SCALEPROTECT-MP2 cartridge to help reduce the effects of scale-forming minerals.
Puretec explains that ScaleProtect™ changes the behaviour of minerals responsible for scale deposits rather than removing calcium and magnesium from the water.
This can help make scale easier to manage on shower screens, glassware, plumbing and household appliances while retaining naturally occurring calcium and magnesium.
Puretec recommends the ScaleProtect™-equipped F4 and F6 systems where water hardness is in the medium range of up to approximately 140 ppm and light to medium scale deposits are occurring.
Puretec specifically identifies Brisbane, most of Perth and Adelaide as examples of locations that can fall within this medium-hardness category.
Where water hardness exceeds approximately 140 ppm, Puretec recommends considering a dedicated water softener after the FilterWall for more complete hardness treatment.
Yes. Puretec identifies PFAS among the contaminants targeted by the FilterWall F Series.
Puretec explains that PFAS molecules are attracted to and held on the surface of the carbon media as water passes through the carbon filtration stage.
Because the F6 is installed at the point of entry, treatment occurs before mains water is distributed throughout the home rather than only at one drinking-water outlet.
Yes. Because filtration occurs before water is distributed throughout the property, chlorine reduction also applies to shower and bathroom water downstream of the FilterWall.
Puretec states that filtered shower water can help reduce chlorine exposure and support softer, healthier-looking hair and skin.
Puretec states that ScaleProtect™ helps reduce scale and sediment build-up in pipes and household appliances.
This can be particularly relevant to hot water systems and other appliances where mineral deposits may form over time.
The effectiveness of scale treatment depends on the property's actual water hardness and chemistry, so the F6 should be selected according to the water conditions rather than assuming every visible deposit requires the same treatment.
Puretec's current F5/F6 specification lists five neutral colours and five custom colours for the larger FilterWall enclosure.
Puretec states that custom colours including Open Skies, Lime Sherbet, Sweet Apricot, Cherry Blossom and Wisteria have a 2-year finish warranty. Actual colours may vary from on-screen representations.
Puretec recommends replacing FilterWall cartridges approximately every 6–12 months, depending on household usage and incoming water quality.
A reduction in water flow or the return of unwanted taste and odour can indicate that the cartridges are approaching replacement time.
The complete manufacturer replacement set is the FR-F6 Premium Care Kit, which includes genuine replacement cartridges, O-rings and food-grade lubricant.

No. Puretec specifies the F6 first stage as the PX05MP2 polyspun sediment cartridge.
The washable PL20MP2 pleated sediment cartridge is used in the F5 rather than the F6. The F6 uses the available third treatment position for ScaleProtect™.
The F6 cartridges should be maintained and replaced in accordance with Puretec's current maintenance instructions.
The freestanding three-stage whole-house filtration assembly is supplied within its aluminium FilterWall enclosure.
The F6 uses PX05MP2 sediment, CB10MP2 carbon block and SCALEPROTECT-MP2 scale-prevention cartridges.
Puretec's F5/F6 specification describes the system as a three-stage whole-house filtration system with bypass.

The FilterWall F6 can be particularly relevant to larger Brisbane homes wanting higher whole-house flow together with ScaleProtect™ technology. Puretec identifies Brisbane as an example of a location with medium water hardness where ScaleProtect™ may be suitable.
Before installation, the incoming mains connection, water pressure, available position, plumbing, drainage, household flow requirements and future cartridge-access requirements 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 F6 as a supplied-and-installed whole-house mains-water filtration system where the property and service area are suitable.
The larger 20-inch configuration requires more installation space than the smaller F3 and F4 systems. Incoming pressure, water hardness, mains connection, installation access and ongoing servicing clearance should all be checked before ordering.
The F6 combines the larger 55 L/min FilterWall platform with Puretec ScaleProtect™ technology.
This makes it particularly relevant to larger homes where the smaller 30 L/min systems may not provide enough flow capacity and where light-to-medium scale deposits are also a concern.
The F6 differs from the F5 by replacing the F5's additional sediment stage with ScaleProtect™ while retaining the same larger 20-inch cartridge format and 55 L/min flow class.
| 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 + scale management | Yes |
| FilterWall F5 | Large / 2+ bathrooms | 55 L/min | 20" | Dual sediment + carbon | No |
| FilterWall F6 | Large / 2+ bathrooms | 55 L/min | 20" | Sediment + carbon + scale management | Yes |
You need the larger 55 L/min FilterWall format and enhanced sediment filtration is the main priority without dedicated ScaleProtect™ treatment.
You need the same larger 55 L/min format but also want Puretec ScaleProtect™ technology to help manage light-to-medium scale deposits.
Yes. It is a point-of-entry system designed to filter mains water before the water is distributed throughout the property.
Puretec positions the F6 for larger homes and properties with two or more bathrooms.
