PURETEC SINGLE-STAGE WHOLE-HOUSE FILTRATION

Puretec WH1-30 Whole House Water Filter

The Puretec WH1-30 is a single-stage whole-house filtration system designed for mains and town water supplies. It uses one large-format carbon block cartridge to provide central treatment before water continues to applicable taps, showers and water-using fixtures throughout the property.

The current WH1-30-LF is supplied with Puretec's CB10MP1 10 micron MaxiPlus carbon block cartridge, which combines sediment filtration with chlorine, unwanted taste and odour treatment in a single cartridge.

Puretec lists the WH1-30 with a maximum flow rate of 30 litres per minute, a 1" BSP / 25 mm connection, no electrical power requirement and a 10-year system warranty.

Quick answer: the Puretec WH1-30 is a single-cartridge, 30 L/min whole-house mains-water filter. Unlike the WH2-30, it does not use a separate sediment cartridge followed by carbon. Its single CB10MP1 10 micron carbon block provides the system's sediment, chlorine, taste and odour treatment.

HOW IT WORKS

One Cartridge Performs Both Particulate & Carbon Treatment

The WH1-30 differs from a dual-housing system because all standard filtration takes place through one CB10MP1 carbon block cartridge.

Sediment

The 10 micron carbon block also provides filtration of suspended particulate material within its nominal rating.

```

Chlorine

Activated-carbon media provides chlorine reduction for compatible mains-water applications.

Taste & Odour

Puretec lists the CB10MP1 for reduction of unwanted taste and odour.

```
SINGLE-STAGE WHOLE-HOUSE FILTRATION

A Simpler Alternative to a Twin-Housing System

The WH1-30 is designed for customers who want central carbon filtration without a separate upstream sediment housing.

The one-cartridge layout means there is only one replacement cartridge during routine servicing, while still providing the chlorine, taste, odour and sediment treatment listed by Puretec for the system.

Where a dedicated sediment cartridge is preferred before the carbon stage, the Puretec WH2-30 provides a separate two-stage configuration.

CB10MP1 CARTRIDGE

Puretec 10 Micron MaxiPlus Carbon Block

The WH1-30 uses the Puretec CB10MP1, a bonded activated-carbon block cartridge in the MaxiPlus 4.5" × 10" format.

10 Micron

Puretec lists a nominal filtration rating of 10 micron.

```

30 L/min

The cartridge is listed by Puretec at a flow rate of up to 30 litres per minute.

Carbon Block

Uses bonded activated-carbon media rather than loose granular carbon.

Chlorine

Designed for chlorine reduction within the cartridge's rated operating conditions.

Taste & Odour

Provides treatment for unwanted taste and odour in compatible water supplies.

Sediment

Puretec also lists sediment reduction as a function of the CB Series carbon block.

```
CARTRIDGE CAPACITY

CB10MP1 Manufacturer-Listed Capacity

Puretec currently lists the CB10MP1 with a nominal treatment capacity of up to 196,841 litres.

That figure should not be treated as a guaranteed cartridge life for every installation. Puretec notes that capacity depends on incoming water quality and flow, and also provides time-based replacement guidance.

Replace by the applicable service limit, not litres alone. Cartridge life can be shortened by higher contaminant loading, heavy household usage, flow restriction or the return of unwanted taste or odour.
WHAT DOES IT REDUCE?

Current Puretec WH1-30 Treatment Functions

Puretec currently describes the WH1 Series as general-purpose filtration for mains water, reducing:

  • Chlorine
  • Unwanted taste
  • Unwanted odour
  • Chemicals within the applicable carbon-treatment capability
  • Sediment within the cartridge's nominal filtration rating
  • General particulate material captured by the carbon block
Do not apply specialist carbon claims to the CB10MP1 unless Puretec specifically lists them for that cartridge. The WH1-30 should not automatically be described as providing heavy-metal, PFAS, cyst or microbiological treatment simply because other Puretec carbon cartridges offer those functions.
NOT A DEDICATED SEDIMENT SYSTEM

When a Twin System May Be More Appropriate

The CB10MP1 can reduce sediment, but the WH1-30 does not have a separate sediment pre-filter.

If the incoming water contains higher sediment loading, a dual-stage system can provide a dedicated particulate cartridge before the carbon stage.

WH1-30

Single CB10MP1 cartridge performs the standard carbon and sediment treatment.

```

WH2-30

Uses PX05MP1 sediment filtration first and CB10MP1 carbon filtration second.

```
FLOW & SIZING

30 L/min Maximum Flow Rate

Puretec currently lists the WH1-30 at a maximum flow rate of 30 litres per minute and identifies it for small-to-medium residential applications.

Final sizing should still consider the property's actual simultaneous water demand rather than relying on a household-size description alone.

A 30 L/min rating does not guarantee zero pressure change. Actual flow and pressure depend on incoming supply pressure, pipework, fittings, simultaneous demand and cartridge loading.
PRESSURE

Current Maximum Pressure: 520 kPa

Puretec's current WH1-30 product specification lists a maximum system pressure of 520 kPa.

The installed plumbing arrangement should keep the filtration assembly within the current manufacturer specification.

CONSTRUCTION

Heavy-Duty Whole-House Housing

Puretec describes the current WH1-30 as a heavy-duty whole-house filtration system.

Aluminium Bracket

Puretec lists an integrated rust-proof, anti-flex aluminium wall-mount bracket.

```

No Moving Parts

The filtration assembly has no automatic regeneration valve or internal pumping system.

No Power Required

The WH1-30 operates using the property's incoming water pressure.

Cartridge Included

Puretec lists the CB10MP1 replacement cartridge as the filtration stage supplied for the system.

Single Housing

Only one large-format filter housing needs to be serviced during routine cartridge replacement.

Wall Mounted

The standard WH1 assembly is designed around a bracket-mounted housing rather than an enclosed freestanding cabinet.

  • No ion-exchange softening resin
  • No salt regeneration
  • No dedicated ScaleProtect™ cartridge
  • No UV treatment stage
  • No reverse-osmosis membrane
  • No automatic hardness reduction

If hardness or scale is the treatment concern, select a suitable Puretec softener or dedicated scale-control system separately.

MAINTENANCE

One Cartridge to Replace

Puretec's WH maintenance guide identifies the CB10MP1 as the replacement cartridge for the WH1-30.

Puretec's maintenance guidance states cartridges should generally be replaced within a 6–12 month service window and notes that cartridge changing at approximately six months can be required depending on water quality and usage.

Time

Follow the applicable Puretec service interval rather than leaving the cartridge indefinitely.

```

Capacity

Replace the cartridge if its applicable treatment capacity is reached before the time interval.

Taste & Odour

Puretec recommends replacement if unwanted taste or odour begins to return.

Flow

Increasing cartridge restriction can reduce available flow and indicate servicing is required.

O-Ring

Inspect the housing seal whenever the filter bowl is opened.

Genuine Cartridge

Puretec specifies genuine replacement cartridges to maintain performance, warranty and applicable standards.

```
FILTER REPLACEMENT

WH1-30 Cartridge Service Process

  • Confirm the replacement cartridge is CB10MP1
  • Turn off the incoming water supply
  • Open a downstream tap or use the pressure-relief provision where fitted
  • Unscrew the filter bowl
  • Remove the used cartridge
  • Clean and rinse the housing as appropriate
  • Inspect the housing O-ring and sealing surfaces
  • Replace damaged or worn seals where required
  • Install the new CB10MP1 correctly
  • Ensure the cartridge is properly seated
  • Reassemble the housing without overtightening
  • Restore the incoming water gradually
  • Purge trapped air
  • Flush the replacement carbon cartridge
  • Check the housing and accessible connections for leaks
O-RING MAINTENANCE

Inspect the Housing Seal During Each Service

Puretec's WH maintenance guide recommends replacing housing O-rings approximately every 3–5 years to help maintain a watertight seal.

Existing damaged housings, worn seals, faulty valves or unrelated plumbing defects are separate repair items and are not corrected simply by replacing the filter cartridge.

WHO IS IT FOR?

When the Puretec WH1-30 May Be Suitable

  • Your property uses mains or town water
  • You want central carbon filtration
  • A maximum flow rate of 30 L/min suits the property
  • A 1" / 25 mm connection suits the plumbing design
  • Chlorine, unwanted taste or odour are treatment priorities
  • Incoming sediment levels are suitable for a single-stage carbon system
  • You want passive filtration without electrical power
  • You can provide suitable access for cartridge servicing
INSTALLATION

Plan the Point-of-Entry Installation Properly

The WH1-30 is designed for permanent installation on the mains-water line so filtered water can continue to applicable outlets downstream.

Installation planning should consider the 25 mm connection, incoming pressure, wall mounting, isolation valves and enough clearance beneath the housing for future cartridge replacement.

Puretec currently lists a maximum pressure of 520 kPa for the WH1-30. The installation should be configured so the filtration assembly remains within the current manufacturer specification.
INSTALLATION LOCATION

Confirm the Mounting Environment Before Installation

The WH1-30 is supplied as an exposed wall-mounted filter housing rather than an enclosed FilterWall-style system.

The installation position should meet Puretec's current requirements and provide appropriate protection, structural support and service access for the housing and connected plumbing.

Do not assume unrestricted outdoor exposure simply because the system is designed for whole-house use.

WHAT IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDE

Understand the Limits of the WH1-30

  • No dedicated upstream sediment cartridge
  • No water-softening stage
  • No dedicated scale-control stage
  • No UV treatment
  • No reverse osmosis
  • No automatic regeneration or backwashing
  • No universal contaminant-removal claim
  • No specialist microbiological treatment
WARRANTY

Puretec 10-Year WH1 Warranty

Puretec currently lists the WH1-30 with a 10-year warranty.

Warranty structure: 1 year parts and labour plus 9 years parts only. Replacement cartridges are excluded, and Puretec's installation, servicing and warranty conditions apply.

Puretec specifies genuine replacement cartridges for maintaining system performance, warranty and applicable standards.

```
FINAL CHECK

Is the Puretec WH1-30 Right for Your Property?

The Puretec WH1-30 Whole House Water Filter is designed for mains-water properties wanting straightforward single-stage carbon filtration at the point of entry.

The current WH1-30-LF uses one CB10MP1 10 micron, 4.5" × 10" MaxiPlus carbon block cartridge, has a manufacturer-listed maximum flow rate of 30 L/min, uses a 1" BSP / 25 mm connection and is listed at a maximum pressure of 520 kPa.

Before ordering, confirm that 30 L/min suits the property's peak demand, that the 25 mm connection matches the plumbing and that a single carbon stage suits the incoming water conditions. Where a dedicated sediment pre-filter is required, compare the WH2-30. Where hardness reduction, scale control, UV treatment or another specialist process is required, select that treatment separately rather than assuming it is included with the WH1-30.
