How Much Does a Puretec Water Filter Cost?

Puretec pricing varies substantially because a small under-sink drinking water filter and a high-flow whole-house FilterWall solve very different problems.

The live figures below use complete available Puretec systems only. Replacement cartridges, lamps, service kits and accessories are excluded so a low-cost cartridge cannot incorrectly become the advertised starting price of a complete filtration system.

Which Puretec Water Filter Do I Need?

Puretec FilterWall Whole House Water Filters

FilterWall is Puretec's premium enclosed point-of-entry filtration platform. It is designed to filter the water before it is distributed to showers, basins, kitchen taps, washing machines and other fixtures throughout the home.

The current F Series ranges from compact 10-inch cartridge systems through to high-flow 20-inch models for larger homes.

Puretec FilterWall F6

F6 is the larger ScaleProtect-equipped FilterWall model and is designed for homes needing higher flow through multiple bathrooms and fixtures.

Current Puretec specifications use 20-inch cartridges, approximately 55 L/min maximum flow and three treatment stages:

Does Puretec FilterWall Soften Hard Water?

FilterWall F4 and F6 use Puretec's ScaleProtect technology to help manage scale deposits.

This is not the same process as traditional ion-exchange water softening. ScaleProtect does not simply remove calcium and magnesium from the water in the way a dedicated salt-based softener does.

Puretec positions F4 and F6 for homes with light to moderate scale concerns, while harder-water applications may require a dedicated softener downstream of the filtration system.

Puretec FilterWall IM2 In-Wall Filtration

FilterWall IM2 is designed for homeowners who want whole-house filtration without a conventional exposed bank of filter housings.

Puretec describes the current platform as a semi-recessed or in-wall filtration solution intended to integrate more neatly into the building.

It can be especially relevant during new builds, major renovations or projects where presentation and available wall space matter as much as filtration performance.

Puretec WH2 Whole House Water Filters

The WH2 Series is Puretec's more traditional exposed dual-stage whole-house filtration platform.

It provides a practical alternative where the premium FilterWall enclosure is unnecessary and the priority is simply strong mains-water filtration.

Mains Water Filter vs Rainwater Filter

Mains water and rainwater generally need different treatment strategies.

Puretec Hybrid Rainwater & UV Systems

Puretec Hybrid systems combine multiple filter stages with ultraviolet disinfection in one assembled platform.

They are particularly relevant for rainwater or other water supplies where sediment filtration alone is not enough and control of bacteria and parasites is required.

Larger Hybrid models provide higher flow capacity for whole-house applications, while the correct unit should be sized against actual peak household water flow.

How Does Puretec UV Water Treatment Work?

Ultraviolet treatment exposes water to UV light at a controlled intensity as it passes through the UV chamber.

Correctly sized Puretec UV systems are designed to deactivate harmful microorganisms including bacteria and parasites.

UV is not a sediment filter. Dirty or cloudy water can reduce UV effectiveness, so suitable filtration before the UV chamber is important.

Puretec WU-UV Series

The WU-UV Series combines two-stage filtration and ultraviolet treatment in a more economical whole-house package.

Current Puretec products include WU-UV150 at approximately 60 L/min and WU-UV250 at approximately 110 L/min.

They can be considered for mains or rainwater applications where the selected model and treatment arrangement suit the incoming water quality.

Puretec Under-Sink Drinking Water Filters

Under-sink systems treat only the drinking-water outlet rather than the entire home.

This can be the most economical approach when the objective is improved drinking and cooking water rather than filtered water in showers, laundries and bathrooms.

Puretec's current range includes dedicated filtered-water kits, PureMix inline systems, Tripla mixer combinations and UV-equipped under-sink systems.

Puretec PureMix Z Series

PureMix systems are compact inline drinking-water filters designed for kitchen installation.

Current Puretec documentation includes products such as PureMix Z6 and Z7, with filter selection varying according to the water-quality problem being targeted.

These systems are suited to customers wanting strong drinking-water filtration without installing a large multi-housing system under the sink.

Puretec Tripla 3-Way Mixer Taps

Puretec Tripla systems combine hot, cold and dedicated filtered drinking water through one mixer assembly while keeping the filtered-water pathway separate internally.

This removes the need for a separate small drinking-water faucet beside the kitchen mixer.

Different Tripla designs can be paired with compatible Puretec filter kits depending on the required filtration level.

Puretec ESR2 Under-Sink UV Filter

ESR2 combines under-sink cartridge filtration with ultraviolet treatment.

It is useful where drinking water requires both particulate/chemical filtration and an additional UV disinfection stage.

ESR2 is available in configurations with a dedicated faucet or as a no-tap kit for compatible installations.

Puretec RO270 Reverse Osmosis

RO270 is Puretec's dedicated residential reverse-osmosis drinking-water system.

Unlike standard sediment or carbon filtration, reverse osmosis forces water through an extremely fine membrane and can substantially reduce dissolved contaminants such as fluoride, salts, selected heavy metals, nitrate, PFAS and other dissolved impurities.

Current Puretec specifications list approximately 270 litres per day nominal production, a 7L storage tank and membrane filtration around 0.0005 micron nominal rating.

Which Puretec Filter Reduces PFAS?

PFAS reduction depends on the exact filter media and system, not simply on buying any Puretec product.

Puretec currently promotes selected FilterWall configurations for PFAS reduction at whole-house level and RO270 as a high-performance point-of-use option for drinking water.

Puretec specifically recommends combining whole-house FilterWall filtration with RO270 where a homeowner wants broad house filtration plus stronger point-of-use PFAS reduction at the drinking-water tap.

Which Puretec Filter Reduces Fluoride?

Standard sediment and carbon whole-house filters should not automatically be assumed to remove dissolved fluoride.

Puretec's RO270 reverse-osmosis system is specifically designed for reduction of fluoride and other dissolved contaminants at a dedicated drinking-water outlet.

This is an important distinction because customers wanting chlorine reduction throughout the house need a different treatment approach from customers specifically targeting fluoride at their drinking tap.

Puretec Filters for Chlorine, Taste & Odour

Carbon filtration is the main Puretec treatment stage used when homeowners want to reduce chlorine-related taste and odour from mains water.

Whole-house FilterWall and WH systems can provide this treatment before the water reaches showers and taps, while under-sink carbon filters treat only drinking water.

The correct cartridge must still be selected for the actual contaminant and required flow.

Puretec Replacement Cartridges

Cartridge replacement is a normal part of owning most Puretec filtration systems.

The required cartridge depends on the exact model. FilterWall, WH, under-sink, reverse-osmosis and Hybrid systems all use different cartridge combinations.

Using the exact model number is safer than ordering a cartridge simply by physical size because micron rating, carbon media, flow capacity and treatment purpose can differ.

How Often Do Puretec Filters Need Replacing?

There is no universal replacement interval for every Puretec cartridge.

Service life depends on cartridge type, litres treated, incoming sediment, chlorine loading, household water use and manufacturer recommendations.

A heavily loaded filter can require replacement sooner than the nominal service period, while UV systems also require lamp and sleeve maintenance separate from cartridge changes.

Will a Puretec Whole House Filter Reduce Water Pressure?

Any filter creates some resistance to water flow, but a correctly sized whole-house system is selected so normal household flow remains practical.

This is why Puretec provides different flow capacities. A 30 L/min compact FilterWall may suit a smaller home, while a multi-bathroom property can need a 55–60 L/min system.

Dirty cartridges can also increase pressure drop, making ongoing cartridge maintenance important.

Puretec Installation Brisbane & Gold Coast

JR Gas & Water supplies and installs Puretec water filtration systems throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast and eligible South East Queensland service areas.

Whole-house installations need to consider available flow, pipe size, pressure, bypass arrangements, weather exposure, drainage, cartridge service clearance and where the incoming main enters the property.

Under-sink systems instead need cabinet space, suitable pipe connections and sometimes a separate faucet, power supply, storage tank or drain connection depending on the system selected.

Puretec Filtered Boiling, Chilled & Sparkling Water

Puretec's broader drinking-water range also extends beyond conventional filtration into premium kitchen and workplace water systems.

Where the requirement is instant filtered boiling, chilled or sparkling water, compare the dedicated appliance range rather than treating a FilterWall or standard under-sink filter as the same product category.
