The Puretec FilterWall F6 is a high-flow, three-stage whole-house water filtration system designed for medium to large 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 also helping manage scale deposits caused by moderate water hardness.
Its large 20-inch cartridges provide a manufacturer-listed flow rate of up to 55 litres per minute, making it the higher-flow ScaleProtect™ model within the Puretec FilterWall F Series.
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 treats water at the point of entry. Incoming mains water passes through the filtration system before being distributed through the property's plumbing.
This means filtration is not limited to a single drinking-water tap. Water supplied to kitchens, bathrooms, showers, laundries and other downstream outlets can all pass through the FilterWall system.
The F6 uses three different treatment stages: a polyspun sediment cartridge, a carbon block cartridge and a ScaleProtect™ cartridge. Together they target sediment and common mains-water contaminants while providing additional scale-management treatment.
Puretec positions the F6 for larger homes and properties with multiple bathrooms where greater whole-house filtration capacity is required.
The larger 20-inch cartridge format provides up to 55 L/min of flow, making the F6 suitable where several household outlets may be used within the same period.
The F6 adds Puretec ScaleProtect™ to the larger FilterWall format, making it particularly relevant where light to medium scale deposits are also a concern.
The first-stage 5-micron polyspun cartridge captures sediment before the water reaches the carbon and ScaleProtect™ stages.
Puretec identifies the FilterWall F6 as helping reduce chlorine, PFAS, sediment, chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour in mains water.
The third-stage ScaleProtect™ cartridge helps manage scale-forming minerals and reduce hard-to-remove scale deposits on plumbing, appliances and surfaces.
*Puretec states the FilterWall warranty consists of 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, require higher whole-house flow capacity and want sediment and carbon filtration together with ScaleProtect™ technology.
You need the same 55 L/min flow class but scale management is not required. The F5 replaces ScaleProtect™ with an additional sediment-filtration stage.
Confirm household flow demand, incoming pressure, water hardness, mains-water connection, installation position and sufficient space for ongoing cartridge servicing.
Puretec positions the F6 for large homes with two or more bathrooms. It uses 20-inch cartridges and provides up to 55 L/min of flow.
The smaller F3 and F4 systems use 10-inch cartridges and provide 30 L/min, while the larger F5 and F6 systems increase cartridge capacity and flow for homes with greater simultaneous demand.
Actual suitability should still be based on household water use rather than bathroom count alone.
Incoming water first passes through the PX05MP2 20-inch MaxiPlus™ polyspun sediment cartridge with a nominal 5-micron rating.
Water then passes through the CB10MP2 20-inch MaxiPlus™ carbon block cartridge, which targets chlorine, chemicals, taste and odour.
The final SCALEPROTECT-MP2 20-inch cartridge helps manage scale-forming minerals and minimise hard-to-remove scale deposits.
The larger 20-inch filtration system provides up to 55 litres per minute for medium to large homes and higher household demand.
The F6 is one of the FilterWall models equipped with Puretec ScaleProtect™ to help manage scale deposits throughout the home.
Puretec specifically identifies PFAS among the common mains-water contaminants the FilterWall system is designed to help reduce.
The carbon stage helps reduce chlorine, chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour before water is distributed throughout the property.
The filtration equipment is housed behind a robust aluminium cover designed to provide protection and a clean finished appearance.
The FilterWall F6 operates from the household water supply and does not require an electrical connection.

*Puretec 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 FilterWall F6 should be installed where the mains-water supply enters the property so incoming water is filtered before being distributed throughout the household. Puretec specifies installation by a licensed plumber.
The F6 has a manufacturer-listed nominal flow rate of 55 L/min. This describes how much water the filtration system is designed to accommodate and should not be confused with pressure boosting.
The FilterWall F6 does not increase incoming water pressure. Actual pressure at household outlets depends on the mains supply, pipework, simultaneous household demand and the condition of the filtration cartridges.
Puretec lists a system pressure range of 200–875 kPa and specifies an approved pressure-limiting device where incoming pressure exceeds 500 kPa.
The FilterWall F6 uses a dedicated SCALEPROTECT-MP2 cartridge to help reduce scale deposits caused by hardness minerals.
Puretec distinguishes ScaleProtect™ from conventional ion-exchange water softening. It is designed to help change the behaviour of minerals that form scale rather than removing calcium and magnesium from the water.
This can help make scale easier to manage on shower screens, glassware, plumbing and appliances without operating as a traditional salt-based water softener.
Puretec recommends its ScaleProtect™-equipped F4 and F6 systems for areas with medium water hardness up to approximately 140 ppm where light to medium scale build-up occurs.
For areas with hardness above 140 ppm, Puretec recommends considering a dedicated water softener installed after the FilterWall where more complete hardness treatment is required.
Yes. Puretec identifies the FilterWall F6 and wider FilterWall F Series as designed to help reduce PFAS along with chlorine, sediment, bad taste and odour.
Because filtration takes place at the point of entry, treatment occurs before mains water is distributed to household outlets rather than at only one dedicated drinking-water tap.
Yes. Whole-house filtration means the carbon filtration stage can reduce chlorine in water supplied to showers and bathroom outlets as well as kitchen taps.
Puretec states that reducing chlorine exposure in shower water can help support softer, healthier-looking hair and may help reduce dryness and irritation for some users.
Puretec states that ScaleProtect™ helps reduce scale build-up that can occur in household plumbing and appliances.
This is particularly relevant to equipment that regularly handles heated water, including hot water systems, dishwashers and other appliances where mineral deposits can accumulate over time.
The F6 should still be selected according to the property's actual hardness level and water chemistry rather than assuming all visible deposits are caused by the same water-quality issue.
Puretec offers the F6 in a broad range of neutral and feature-colour aluminium covers, allowing the system to be coordinated with different home exteriors.
Puretec notes that displayed colours are indicative and actual finishes may vary. Custom-colour finish warranty conditions differ from the main product warranty.
Puretec provides a general FilterWall cartridge replacement guide of approximately 6 to 12 months, depending on incoming water quality and household usage.
Reduced water flow or a noticeable change in taste and odour can indicate that replacement is due. Homes with higher sediment or scale loads may require more frequent servicing.
The complete manufacturer maintenance set is the FR-F6 Premium Care Kit, which includes the genuine F6 replacement cartridges together with maintenance components such as O-rings and food-grade lubricant.
20-inch MaxiPlus™ polyspun sediment cartridge with a nominal 5-micron rating.
20-inch MaxiPlus™ carbon block cartridge with a nominal 10-micron rating.
20-inch MaxiPlus™ ScaleProtect™ cartridge for scale-management treatment.
No. The F6 does not use the washable PL20MP2 pleated cartridge found in the FilterWall F5.
Puretec specifies the F6 first stage as the PX05MP2 polyspun sediment cartridge. The FilterWall F Series manufacturer guidance identifies the F3 and F5 as the models with the washable first-stage sediment cartridge.
The F6 uses that cartridge position differently because one stage of its three-stage configuration is dedicated to ScaleProtect™.
The freestanding three-stage filtration assembly is supplied within the protective FilterWall aluminium enclosure.
The F6 configuration uses PX05MP2 sediment, CB10MP2 carbon block and SCALEPROTECT-MP2 scale-management cartridges.
Puretec's current F5/F6 specification identifies the system as a three-stage filtration system with bypass.
Choose supply only if you already have a licensed plumber arranged and simply need the Puretec FilterWall F6 supplied.
Supplied-and-installed options may be available across eligible Brisbane service areas, subject to plumbing, access, pressure, water conditions and site requirements.
Supplied-and-installed options may be available across eligible Gold Coast service areas, subject to service coverage and property suitability.
Installed Today can offer supply-only ordering for supported Australian locations, while eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast customers may also have supplied-and-installed options available.
The FilterWall F6 can be particularly relevant to Brisbane homes requiring higher whole-house flow together with scale management. Puretec identifies Brisbane as an example of an area where medium water hardness can make its ScaleProtect™ technology suitable.
Before installation, the mains-water entry point, incoming pressure, available space, household flow requirements, drainage and future cartridge access should be checked.
Where incoming line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, Puretec requires installation of an approved pressure-limiting device.
Gold Coast customers may be able to choose the FilterWall F6 as a supplied-and-installed whole-house filtration system where the property and service area are suitable.
The larger 20-inch format means installation planning should confirm the available space, mains-water connection, incoming pressure and sufficient access for ongoing servicing.
Water hardness should also be considered before selecting ScaleProtect™ as the appropriate scale-management treatment for the property.
The F6 combines the larger 55 L/min FilterWall platform with Puretec ScaleProtect™ technology.
That makes it particularly relevant to medium and large homes where the smaller 30 L/min systems may not provide the preferred capacity and where scale deposits are also a concern.
It differs from the F5 by trading the F5's additional washable sediment stage for ScaleProtect™ treatment.
| Model | Manufacturer Home Guide | Flow Rate | Cartridge Size | Filtration Configuration | 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 system and enhanced sediment filtration is more important than dedicated scale-management treatment.
You need the same larger 55 L/min format but also want Puretec ScaleProtect™ technology to help manage scale deposits.
Yes. It is a point-of-entry system that filters mains water before the water is distributed throughout the property.

Puretec lists an operating range of 200–875 kPa. Where line pressure exceeds 500 kPa, an approved pressure-limiting device is required.
No. The 55 L/min figure is a flow rating rather than a pressure-boosting specification. Actual household pressure depends on the incoming water supply, plumbing and simultaneous water demand.
Puretec states that FilterWall installation must be carried out by a licensed plumber.
Puretec specifically designs the FilterWall F Series for mains or town water. Homes using well, bore, rainwater or other water sources should use filtration equipment selected for the specific source water and treatment requirements.
Yes. Puretec's current F5/F6 specification identifies the system as three-stage filtration with bypass.
Current Puretec F6 cover choices include Midnight Black, Charcoal, Mineral Grey, Stone White, Buttercup Cream, Open Skies, Lime Sherbet, Sweet Apricot, Cherry Blossom and Wisteria, subject to availability.
Puretec lists a 10-year warranty for the FilterWall F6, consisting of 1 year parts and labour followed by 9 years parts only. Filter cartridges are excluded and coverage remains subject to the current Puretec warranty conditions.
Puretec provides a general cartridge replacement guide of 6–12 months, depending on water quality and household usage, and specifies the FR-F6 Premium Care Kit for routine replacement.
Correct licensed installation, suitable incoming water pressure, appropriate water conditions and the use of genuine Puretec replacement cartridges are important for ongoing system performance and warranty compliance.
Choose supply only if you already have a licensed plumber arranged and need the Puretec FilterWall F6 supplied.
Eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast customers can check available supplied-and-installed options for their property.
Household flow requirements, water hardness, sediment levels and the need for ScaleProtect™ can be considered before selecting between the F3, F4, F5 and F6.
The Puretec FilterWall F6 is primarily suited to medium and large mains-water homes wanting greater whole-house flow capacity together with scale-management technology. Its key characteristics are its 55 L/min nominal flow rate, large 20-inch cartridges, 5-micron sediment filtration, carbon block filtration and ScaleProtect™ treatment.
It is particularly relevant where sediment, chlorine, PFAS, taste, odour and light-to-medium scale build-up are concerns. The F6 is not a conventional water softener, and homes with water hardness above Puretec's ScaleProtect™ guidance may require dedicated softening equipment.
Before ordering, confirm household flow requirements, incoming pressure, water hardness, mains-water connection, installation space and future servicing access.
