THREE-STAGE FILTRATION
How the FilterWall F6 Filtration Sequence Works
The FilterWall F6 uses three different cartridges because each stage has a different filtration role.
Stage 1 uses the PX05MP2 to reduce sediment. Stage 2 uses the CB10MP2 carbon block for chlorine, unwanted taste and odour reduction. Stage 3 uses SCALEPROTECT-MP2 to help minimise scale accumulation.
The FR-F6 restores all three of these manufacturer-specified stages together during scheduled maintenance.
STAGE 1
PX05MP2 5 Micron Sediment Filtration
The Puretec PX05MP2 is the first filtration stage in the FilterWall F6.
It uses graded polyspun polypropylene media with 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 particulate filtration before the carbon and scale-treatment stages.
```
Graded Polyspun
Depth-filtration media captures particulate material throughout the thickness of the cartridge.
20-Inch MaxiPlus
The PX05MP2 uses the large 4.5" × 20" format required by the F6.
```
STAGE 2
CB10MP2 10 Micron Carbon Block Filtration
The second stage uses the Puretec CB10MP2, a bonded activated carbon block cartridge.
Puretec specifies this cartridge for significant reduction of chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.
The CB10MP2 has a nominal 10 micron filtration rating and a listed individual cartridge flow of up to 60 L/min.
Cartridge flow and system flow are not the same specification.
The individual CB10MP2 is listed at up to 60 L/min, while the complete FilterWall F6 system is rated at 55 L/min.
STAGE 3
SCALEPROTECT-MP2 Scale Prevention
The third stage uses Puretec's SCALEPROTECT-MP2 cartridge.
This is a dedicated scale-prevention stage designed for use within the FilterWall F6's three-stage treatment configuration.
The F6 is manufacturer-specified for water with a suitable hardness level of approximately 80–140 mg/L, along with the other water-quality limits listed for the complete system.
Scale prevention is not the same as conventional water softening.
The SCALEPROTECT-MP2 is a scale-treatment cartridge. It should not be described as a conventional ion-exchange softener or as removing all hardness minerals from the water.

WHEN TO SERVICE
How Often Should the FR-F6 Be Used?
Puretec's FilterWall maintenance guidance recommends replacing the filtration cartridges approximately every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage.
Actual cartridge life can vary with incoming sediment, chlorine levels, water hardness and total household water consumption.
- 6–12 month service interval has been reached
- Water flow has noticeably reduced
- Unwanted taste or odour begins to return
- Sediment cartridge is heavily loaded
- Scale-treatment cartridge is due for service
- Previous cartridge replacement date is unknown
O-RINGS & LUBRICANT
Service the Housing Seals at the Same Time
Each FilterWall cartridge is installed inside a reusable housing, so the housing O-rings are an important part of routine maintenance.
The FR-F6 includes replacement O-rings and food-grade lubricant so applicable seals can be inspected and serviced while the filter bowls are open.
O-rings should be clean, correctly seated and free from obvious damage before the system is repressurised.
SERVICE PROCESS
What Is Involved in Servicing a FilterWall F6?
- Confirm the system is a Puretec FilterWall F6
- Isolate the incoming water supply
- Open a downstream tap to relieve system pressure
- Open the filter bowls with the appropriate housing spanner
- Remove the three used cartridges
- Clean the filter bowls with soap and warm water
- Rinse the bowls thoroughly
- Inspect applicable O-rings and sealing surfaces
- Apply food-grade lubricant where required
- Install PX05MP2 in stage one
- Install CB10MP2 in stage two
- Install SCALEPROTECT-MP2 in stage three
- Reassemble the filter housings correctly
- Restore water pressure gradually
- Check the complete filtration system for leaks
AFTER SERVICING
Flush the System Before Normal Use
After the filter bowls have been reassembled and the incoming water restored, the system should be checked carefully for leaks.
Puretec's FilterWall maintenance procedure then specifies opening a downstream tap and allowing water to flow for approximately 2 minutes to flush the system and purge trapped air.
If a filter housing leaks, isolate the water again before making adjustments.
Check the cartridge position, O-ring seating and housing sealing surfaces before returning the system to normal service.
WATER CONDITIONS
Check Whether the F6 Suits the Incoming Water
The FilterWall F6 is designed around specific operating and incoming-water conditions.
Puretec lists a suitable hardness level of 80–140 mg/L, pH range of 6.5–8.5 and maximum iron level of 0.3 mg/L for the F6.
If source-water conditions fall significantly outside the manufacturer's specifications, additional water assessment or a different treatment arrangement may be required.
The FilterWall F6 is not a substitute for disinfection.
Do not use the filtration system with microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
Can You Fit the FR-F6 Yourself?
Routine FilterWall cartridge replacement may be suitable for owner servicing where you can safely isolate the incoming water supply, depressurise the system and correctly reseal all three housings.
The 20-inch MaxiPlus bowls are relatively large and can be heavy when filled with water, so suitable access is important before beginning maintenance.
Professional servicing is appropriate where access or system condition is uncertain.
Seized housings, damaged O-rings, leaking valves, bypass issues or existing plumbing faults may require additional work beyond standard cartridge replacement.
PROFESSIONAL REPLACEMENT
Professional FilterWall F6 Servicing
Professional cartridge replacement may be available in selected Installed Today Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
A standard cartridge service can include removal of the existing filters, cleaning of accessible filter bowls, checking accessible seals, installation of the FR-F6 replacement cartridges and checking the filtration system for leaks and normal flow after repressurisation.
Damaged housings, isolation valves, bypass components, pipework and other replacement parts are separate where required.
