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.
Puretec WH1-30 Key Details
*Puretec's current warranty is 1 year parts and labour plus 9 years parts only. Replacement cartridges are excluded and warranty conditions apply.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

The WH1-30 Is Not a Water Softener
The standard WH1-30 contains one carbon block cartridge. It does not contain a water-softening, ScaleProtect™ or other dedicated hardness-treatment stage.
- 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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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

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.
