PURETEC FILTERWALL PREMIUM CARE KIT
Puretec FR-F6 Premium Care Kit for FilterWall F6 Systems
The Puretec FR-F6 Premium Care Kit is the manufacturer-specified maintenance kit for the Puretec FilterWall F6 three-stage whole-house filtration system.
It combines the three genuine 20-inch MaxiPlus replacement cartridges required by the F6: the PX05MP2 sediment cartridge, CB10MP2 carbon block cartridge and SCALEPROTECT-MP2 scale prevention cartridge.
Puretec also includes replacement O-rings and food-grade lubricant, providing the key consumable components required for routine FilterWall F6 maintenance.
Quick answer:
the Puretec FR-F6 is the complete genuine Premium Care Kit for FilterWall F6 systems. It includes PX05MP2, CB10MP2 and SCALEPROTECT-MP2 cartridges plus O-rings and food-grade lubricant. All three cartridges use the large 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus format, while the complete F6 system has a nominal flow rate of 55 L/min.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
What's Included in the FR-F6?
PX05MP2
5 micron, 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus polyspun sediment cartridge used as the first F6 filtration stage.
```
CB10MP2
10 micron, 4.5" × 20" bonded activated carbon block cartridge used as the second filtration stage.
SCALEPROTECT-MP2
4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus scale prevention cartridge used as the third treatment stage.
Replacement O-Rings
Applicable filter-housing seals are included as part of the current Puretec Premium Care Kit.
Food-Grade Lubricant
Included for applicable O-ring maintenance while the filtration housings are being serviced.
Model-Specific Components
The FR-F6 is configured specifically for the FilterWall F6 rather than being a universal three-cartridge service pack.
```
THREE-STAGE F6 FILTRATION
Sediment, Carbon & Scale Treatment
The FilterWall F6 uses three different treatment stages because each cartridge performs a different role.
Stage 1 uses the PX05MP2 for sediment filtration. Stage 2 uses the CB10MP2 carbon block for chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and additional sediment reduction. Stage 3 uses SCALEPROTECT-MP2 for scale prevention.
Replacing all three cartridges together restores the filtration sequence specified by Puretec for the FilterWall F6.
STAGE 1
PX05MP2 5 Micron Sediment Cartridge
The PX05MP2 is a graded polyspun sediment cartridge with a nominal filtration rating of 5 micron.
Puretec's PX Series is designed to capture suspended particulate material including dirt, rust, sand, silt, algae and sediment.
5 Micron
Provides the F6's primary nominal particulate filtration stage.
```
Polyspun Media
Graded polypropylene media provides depth filtration through the cartridge.
20-Inch MaxiPlus
The PX05MP2 uses the large 4.5" × 20" cartridge format required by the FilterWall F6.
```
STAGE 2
CB10MP2 Carbon Block Cartridge
The second F6 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.
It has a nominal filtration rating of 10 micron and an individual listed cartridge flow rate of up to 60 L/min.
Cartridge flow and complete-system flow are different specifications.
The individual CB10MP2 is listed at up to 60 L/min, while Puretec rates the complete FilterWall F6 at 55 L/min.
STAGE 3
SCALEPROTECT-MP2 Scale Prevention Cartridge
The third FilterWall F6 stage uses the SCALEPROTECT-MP2, Puretec's 20-inch MaxiPlus scale prevention cartridge.
This stage is designed to help reduce scale build-up within compatible plumbing and water-using applications as part of the complete FilterWall F6 treatment arrangement.
Scale prevention is not conventional water softening.
The SCALEPROTECT-MP2 should not be described as a conventional ion-exchange softener or as completely removing hardness minerals from the water.
COMPATIBILITY
Which Puretec System Uses the FR-F6?
Puretec specifies the FR-F6 as the Premium Care Kit for FilterWall F6 systems.
Current FilterWall F6 colour variants use the same filtration sequence of PX05MP2, CB10MP2 and SCALEPROTECT-MP2.
Do not order based on cartridge size alone.
FilterWall F5 systems also use 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus cartridges but have a different cartridge sequence and require the FR-F5 maintenance kit.

WHEN TO REPLACE
How Often Should the FR-F6 Cartridges Be Changed?
Puretec recommends FilterWall cartridges be replaced approximately every 6–12 months, depending on incoming water quality and household usage.
Homes with greater sediment loading or harder incoming water may require more frequent maintenance.
- 6–12 month service interval has been reached
- Water flow has noticeably decreased
- Unwanted taste or odour begins to return
- Sediment loading has increased
- Water conditions have changed
- Previous cartridge replacement date is unknown
WHY SERVICE LIFE VARIES
What Affects FilterWall Cartridge Life?
Water Consumption
Higher household water use passes a greater total volume through all three cartridges.
```
Sediment & Chlorine
Higher particulate and chlorine loading can increase the treatment demand placed on the filtration stages.
Hard Water Conditions
Higher scale-forming conditions can place greater demand on the SCALEPROTECT-MP2 stage.
```
O-RINGS & LUBRICANT
Service the Housing Seals During Cartridge Replacement
The FilterWall F6 cartridges sit inside reusable housings that rely on correctly seated O-rings to seal after maintenance.
The FR-F6 includes replacement O-rings and food-grade lubricant so applicable seals can be inspected and serviced when the filter bowls are opened.
If an O-ring, housing, valve or other filtration component is damaged, additional parts may be required separately from the FR-F6 kit.
SERVICE PROCESS
What Is Involved in Replacing the FR-F6?
- Confirm the installed system is a FilterWall F6
- Isolate the incoming water supply
- Open a downstream outlet to relieve pressure
- Open the three filter housings
- Remove the existing cartridges
- Clean the filter bowls as required
- Inspect O-rings and sealing surfaces
- Use 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
- Restore the water supply gradually
- Check the system for leaks
- Flush the filtration system before normal use
AFTER REPLACEMENT
Flush the FilterWall Before Returning It to Normal Use
After the cartridges have been replaced and the housings correctly reassembled, the incoming water can be gradually restored and the system checked for leaks.
Puretec's FilterWall maintenance procedure then calls for a downstream tap to be opened for approximately 2 minutes to flush the system and remove trapped air.
Do not ignore leakage after servicing.
If a filter bowl leaks, isolate the water again and check cartridge alignment, the O-ring and housing sealing surfaces before returning the system to operation.
WATER QUALITY CAUTION
Filtration Is Not a Substitute for Required Disinfection
The FilterWall F6 is intended for mains-water filtration within Puretec's stated operating conditions.
Puretec cautions that the system should not be used with microbiologically unsafe water or water of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the filtration system.
BEFORE ORDERING
Check These Details First
- Installed system is a Puretec FilterWall F6
- Stage one uses PX05MP2
- Stage two uses CB10MP2
- Stage three uses SCALEPROTECT-MP2
- Cartridges are 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus format
- You require the F6 scale-treatment configuration
- Filter bowls are accessible for servicing
- Incoming water can be safely isolated
DIY OR PROFESSIONAL SERVICE
Can the FilterWall F6 Cartridges Be Replaced Yourself?
Puretec provides FilterWall maintenance guidance and cartridge replacement information for routine servicing.
The 20-inch MaxiPlus housings are relatively large, so suitable access is required to safely remove and reinstall the filter bowls after the water has been isolated and the system depressurised.
Professional servicing may be appropriate where access or condition is uncertain.
Seized filter housings, leaking valves, damaged seals or existing plumbing problems can require additional work beyond a routine cartridge change.
PROFESSIONAL REPLACEMENT
Professional FilterWall F6 Servicing
Professional cartridge replacement may be available in selected Installed Today Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
A cartridge service can include removal of the existing filters, cleaning of accessible filter bowls, checking accessible seals, installing the FR-F6 replacement components and checking the filtration system for leaks and normal flow after repressurisation.
Replacement housings, valves, pipework, bypass components and other repairs are separate where required.
