The Puretec WH2-60 is a dual-stage whole-house filtration system designed for mains water supplies. It filters water at the point of entry before the supply continues to applicable taps, showers and water-using fixtures throughout the property.
The current WH2-60-LF uses a Puretec PX05MP2 5 micron sediment cartridge followed by a CB10MP2 10 micron carbon block cartridge. Puretec lists the complete system for reduction of sediment, chlorine, unwanted taste and odour, chemicals and PFAS.
With a manufacturer-listed maximum flow rate of 60 litres per minute and a 1½" BSP / 40 mm connection, the WH2-60 is the higher-flow 20-inch model in Puretec's WH2 range.
*Puretec's current warranty for the WH2 Series is 1 year parts and labour plus 9 years parts only. Cartridges are excluded and warranty conditions apply.
The first stage uses Puretec's 5 micron graded polyspun sediment cartridge to reduce dirt, rust, sand, silt, algae and other suspended particles.
The second stage uses Puretec's 10 micron bonded activated-carbon block cartridge for chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment treatment.
The WH2-60 is installed on the incoming mains-water supply so water passes through both filtration stages before travelling through the downstream plumbing.
This provides centralised sediment and carbon treatment rather than limiting filtration to a single kitchen drinking-water tap.
The system operates using normal water pressure and does not require an electrical connection for filtration.
The first-stage PX05MP2 is a MaxiPlus 4.5" × 20" sediment cartridge manufactured from virgin polypropylene using graded-density polyspun construction.
Puretec lists a nominal 5 micron filtration rating for the PX05MP2.
Designed to reduce suspended dirt and particulate rust in the incoming supply.
Provides depth filtration for sand, silt and similar particulate material.
Puretec also lists suspended algae among the particulate material targeted by this cartridge.
The polyspun construction uses graded density to provide depth filtration through the cartridge.
Large-format MaxiPlus cartridge designed for compatible whole-house housings.
The second-stage CB10MP2 is a MaxiPlus 4.5" × 20" bonded activated-carbon block cartridge.
Puretec lists this cartridge for reduction of chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.
Puretec lists a nominal 10 micron rating for the CB10MP2.
The carbon block provides chlorine reduction within its rated operating conditions.
Designed to reduce unwanted taste and odour in compatible mains-water applications.
The cartridge uses bonded activated carbon rather than loose granular carbon media.
Puretec describes the cartridge construction as providing treatment without release of carbon fines.
Puretec lists the individual CB10MP2 cartridge with a flow rate of 60 litres per minute.
Puretec's current WH2-60 product information identifies the system for mains-water treatment including:
The standard WH2-60 uses sediment and carbon filtration. It does not contain a dedicated water-softening or scale-control stage.
If hardness or scale is a specific water concern, a suitable Puretec softening or scale-treatment system should be considered separately.
Puretec currently lists the WH2-60 with a maximum flow rate of 60 L/min and a 1½" BSP / 40 mm connection.
The larger connection distinguishes it from the WH2-55, which uses the same 20-inch cartridge format but a 1" connection and a 55 L/min listed maximum flow.
Puretec's current WH2-60 product specification lists a maximum pressure of 520 kPa.
The installed plumbing arrangement should be designed so the filtration system remains within the current manufacturer specification.
Puretec describes the WH2-60 as a heavy-duty whole-house filtration system and lists an integrated rust-proof, anti-flex aluminium wall-mount bracket.
Separate sediment and carbon treatment stages allow the carbon cartridge to operate downstream of the particulate filter.
The system uses a large 20-inch MaxiPlus carbon block cartridge for whole-house treatment.
The cartridge filtration assembly operates without an automatic valve or mechanical regeneration cycle.
The filtration system itself does not need electricity to treat water.
Puretec lists an integrated rust-proof, anti-flex aluminium wall-mount bracket.
Both filtration stages use replaceable genuine Puretec cartridges.

The WH2-60 should be selected because its 40 mm connection and flow specification suit the installation, not simply because the model number is higher.
Puretec's current WH/EM whole-house maintenance guide specifies the PX05MP2 as stage A and the CB10MP2 as stage B for both the WH2-55 and WH2-60.
The guide states that WH cartridges should be changed approximately every 6 months, dependent on water quality and usage.
Replace the 5 micron sediment cartridge according to Puretec's servicing guidance and actual loading conditions.
Replace the carbon block as part of the scheduled service to maintain chlorine, taste and odour treatment.
Puretec's maintenance guide recommends replacing housing O-rings every 3–5 years to help maintain a watertight seal.
Puretec lists the GR-WH255 Premium Care Kit for the WH2-55 and WH2-60, as well as selected FilterWall IM2 and IMF2 systems.
The manufacturer describes the kit as containing genuine Puretec replacement cartridges together with O-rings and food-grade lubricant for system maintenance.
The WH2-60 uses a defined two-stage sequence:
The sediment cartridge is installed first, nearest the incoming water supply.
The carbon block is installed second so pre-filtered water reaches the carbon stage.
The WH2-60 is designed for installation on the mains-water supply before the filtered water is distributed through the property.
Installation planning should account for the large 20-inch housings, the 40 mm connection, isolation, pressure conditions, mounting support and enough clearance to remove the bowls during future cartridge servicing.
Puretec currently lists the WH2-60 with a 10-year warranty.
Puretec specifies genuine replacement cartridges to maintain system performance, warranty and applicable standards.
Order the Puretec WH2-60 for delivery to supported Australian locations where you already have a suitable installation arrangement.
The genuine Puretec GR-WH255 Premium Care Kit can be used for future WH2-60 cartridge and seal servicing.

Purchase the Puretec WH2-60 without installation where you already have a suitable installer or servicing arrangement.
The system is matched with the manufacturer-listed PX05MP2 sediment cartridge and CB10MP2 carbon block rather than a generic replacement combination.
Installed Today can also support eligible local installations where the 40 mm plumbing connection, system pressure, mounting position and service access are suitable.
The Puretec WH2-60 Whole House Water Filter is designed for mains-water properties requiring high-flow central sediment and carbon filtration.
The current WH2-60-LF is rated at up to 60 L/min, uses a 1½" BSP / 40 mm connection and combines a PX05MP2 5 micron sediment cartridge with a CB10MP2 10 micron carbon block cartridge. Puretec lists the system for sediment, chlorine, unwanted taste and odour, chemical and PFAS reduction.
Before ordering, confirm the 40 mm connection suits the property's plumbing, that the current 520 kPa maximum-pressure specification can be maintained and that sediment-and-carbon filtration addresses the actual water-treatment requirement. Where hardness reduction, scale control, UV treatment or another specialist process is needed, that treatment should be selected separately rather than assumed to be part of the standard WH2-60.
