PURETEC WHOLE-HOUSE MAINS WATER FILTRATION

Puretec WH2-60 Installation Brisbane & Gold Coast

JR Gas & Water supplies and professionally installs the Puretec WH2-60 whole-house water filter across eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast properties. It is a high-flow dual-stage system designed for treated mains-water supplies and provides filtration before water is distributed throughout the applicable household plumbing.

The current WH2-60-LF combines a 20-inch sediment cartridge with a 20-inch carbon block cartridge. Puretec lists the system for reduction of sediment, chlorine, unwanted taste and odour, chemicals including PFAS and other manufacturer-listed contaminants while maintaining a published maximum flow rate of 60 litres per minute.

The WH2-60 does not use electricity, UV treatment, reverse osmosis or water-softening resin. It is a passive mains-water filtration system designed around strong whole-house flow, straightforward cartridge servicing and a heavy-duty wall-mounted twin-housing format.

Puretec WH2-60 at a glance: this is a dual-stage 20-inch whole-house mains-water filter with a published maximum flow of 60 L/min and 1½-inch BSP plumbing connections. Stage one uses the PX05MP2 sediment cartridge and stage two uses the CB10MP2 carbon block. Puretec currently lists reduction of sediment, chlorine, taste, odour and chemicals including PFAS, with a 10-year manufacturer warranty on the system excluding consumable cartridges.

Who Is the Puretec WH2-60 Best For?

Mains-Water Homes

The WH2 range is designed primarily for treated mains or town water and is intended to filter the incoming supply before it reaches household taps, showers and appliances.

Higher Household Flow

The WH2-60 has a published maximum flow of 60 L/min and a larger 1½-inch connection, making it the higher-flow option within the conventional WH2 range.

Whole-Property Chlorine & Sediment Treatment

It suits customers wanting sediment pre-filtration followed by carbon treatment rather than filtering only the kitchen drinking-water outlet.

PRODUCT SUITABILITY

Is the Puretec WH2-60 Right for My Property?

A Good Choice If...

Your property is connected to treated mains water.
You want filtration throughout the house rather than at one tap.
You want separate sediment and carbon stages.
You need a system with up to 60 L/min published flow.
You want a passive system with no electrical supply.
You have suitable wall space and cartridge-service clearance.

Consider Another Option If...

You specifically need conventional water softening.
You require microbiological disinfection for untreated water.
You specifically want fluoride or TDS reduction.
You only need drinking-water filtration at the kitchen.
You want an enclosed exterior cabinet.
Your incoming plumbing and household flow suit a smaller system.

JR Should Check First If...

Incoming water pressure is above 500 kPa.
Your incoming pipe size differs significantly from 1½ inch.
The mounting surface is lightweight or unsuitable.
The filter would be exposed to strong direct sunlight.
You are replacing another brand or different housing size.
Your water source is rainwater, bore water or otherwise untreated.

WH2-60 is a mains-water filter, not a universal treatment system. Untreated or microbiologically uncertain water requires appropriate assessment and disinfection. Puretec specifically warns not to use the WH system on microbiologically unsafe or unknown-quality water without adequate disinfection.

How Does the Puretec WH2-60 Work?

The WH2-60 uses two large 20-inch MaxiPlus™ cartridges in sequence. Each stage has a separate job, allowing coarse particulate loading to be addressed before the water reaches the downstream carbon block.

Stage 1 – PX05MP2 Sediment Filtration

The first housing contains Puretec's PX05MP2 5-micron polyspun sediment cartridge. It is designed to reduce dirt, rust, sand, silt and other suspended particulate material before the water reaches the carbon stage.

Stage 2 – CB10MP2 Carbon Filtration

The second housing contains the CB10MP2 bonded activated-carbon cartridge. Puretec uses this stage for chlorine, unwanted taste and odour, chemicals and its current manufacturer-listed PFAS treatment capability.

Why sediment comes first: removing suspended particles before the carbon block helps reduce particulate loading on the more specialised downstream treatment media and supports the intended two-stage service arrangement.

What Does the Puretec WH2-60 Reduce?

Puretec currently positions the WH2-60 as a mains-water system for reduction of sediment, chlorine, taste, odour, chemicals and PFAS. Reduction claims should remain tied to the genuine cartridges installed and the manufacturer's current specifications rather than being expanded into unsupported blanket contaminant-removal claims.

Sediment

The PX05MP2 first stage is designed to reduce dirt, rust, sand, silt and suspended particulate material from the incoming water.

Chlorine, Taste & Odour

The CB10MP2 carbon stage is used for chlorine reduction and improvement of unwanted taste and odour in treated mains water.

Manufacturer-Listed Chemicals Including PFAS

Puretec's current WH2-60 product information specifically includes chemicals and PFAS in the manufacturer's reduction description for the system.

Reduction does not mean guaranteed 100% removal. Actual performance depends on incoming water quality, flow, cartridge condition, treatment capacity and the exact substance being considered.

Key Features of the Puretec WH2-60

60 L/min Maximum Flow

Puretec publishes a maximum flow rate of 60 litres per minute. Actual household pressure and delivered flow still depend on incoming pressure, plumbing layout, pipe sizing, cartridge condition and simultaneous demand.

20-Inch Dual Cartridges

The WH2-60 uses large 20-inch MaxiPlus™ cartridges, providing greater media capacity than the compact 10-inch WH2-30 platform.

1½-Inch Plumbing Connection

The larger 40 mm / 1½-inch BSP connection differentiates the WH2-60 from the 1-inch WH2-55 while supporting its published higher flow rating.

Rust-Proof Anti-Flex Bracket

Puretec's current model uses an integrated rust-proof, anti-flex aluminium wall-mount bracket designed to support the heavy-duty twin-housing assembly.

No Electricity Required

There are no pumps, UV lamps, electronic controllers or electrically powered treatment stages in the standard WH2-60.

WaterMark Certified Platform

Puretec's WH whole-house installation documentation identifies AS 3497 WaterMark certification under Licence No. WM 74617.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

What Is Required to Install the Puretec WH2-60?

Suitable mains-water point-of-entry connection
Solid mounting surface for the twin aluminium bracket
Sufficient wall area for approximately 589 × 379 × 209 mm system dimensions
Clear space beneath the housings for cartridge servicing
Accessible isolation before the filter
Approved point-of-entry backflow prevention
Pressure limiting where incoming pressure exceeds 500 kPa
Protection from water hammer
Suitable cold-water application
Protection from freezing
Location away from strong direct sunlight
Accessible pipework for future servicing
Suitable leak-management planning where leakage could cause property damage
Qualified licensed plumbing installation

Pressure matters. Puretec's current WH2-60 product page lists 520 kPa maximum pressure, while its whole-house installation guide requires an approved pressure-limiting device whenever line pressure exceeds 500 kPa. JR should assess the actual incoming pressure before installation.

Where Should the Puretec WH2-60 Be Installed?

The WH2-60 is normally installed at the mains-water point of entry so the applicable household supply passes through both filtration stages before being distributed throughout the property.

Puretec requires a solid mounting position because the bracket must remain secure while the heavy 20-inch housings are opened during servicing. The location should also avoid direct sunlight and provide enough room beneath the bowls for removal of the cartridges.

If the ideal plumbing position has inadequate mounting structure, poor service access, excessive pressure or a high risk of water damage if a fitting leaks, additional installation planning may be required rather than forcing the system into an unsuitable location.

What's Included With Puretec WH2-60 Installation?

Selected JR Installation Package

The live product and installation selector above remains the source of truth for your selected package, current installed price, installation timeframe and package-specific inclusions.

Mounting, Connection & Commissioning

For an applicable standard installation, the system is mounted in a suitable location, connected to the accessible mains-water pipework and commissioned before being returned to normal service.

Possible Additional Work

Pressure control, backflow equipment, additional valves, pipe-size changes, difficult access, mounting reinforcement, leak protection, relocation or other non-standard work can require additional allowance or quotation.

How Much Does Puretec WH2-60 Installation Cost?

Current supplied-and-installed pricing is shown in JR's live product and installation selector above. The live selector should remain the pricing source rather than hard-coding a fixed figure into the long-form product content.

Installation cost can vary depending on the location and accessibility of the incoming main, existing pipe size, wall construction, pressure-control requirements, backflow equipment, isolation valves and whether the job is a straightforward replacement or a new filtration installation.

If the property does not meet the standard package conditions, use JR's written or onsite quote pathway before non-standard installation work proceeds.

BRISBANE INSTALLATION

Puretec WH2-60 Installation Brisbane

JR Gas & Water supplies and installs the Puretec WH2-60 across eligible Brisbane properties for customers wanting high-flow sediment and carbon filtration on treated mains water.

For a Brisbane installation, JR checks the incoming main, household flow requirements, pipe diameter, pressure, mounting surface and cartridge-service space. Where line pressure exceeds Puretec's requirements, pressure control needs to be resolved as part of the installation rather than relying on the filter housings to absorb excessive mains pressure.

The WH2-60 can suit properties that want a conventional open twin-housing system with 20-inch cartridges and a larger 1½-inch connection. Eligible JR service coverage also extends through Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and Redlands.

GOLD COAST INSTALLATION

Puretec WH2-60 Installation Gold Coast

JR Gas & Water also provides Puretec WH2-60 supply and installation across eligible Gold Coast properties. Its 60 L/min maximum-flow specification can suit homes wanting higher whole-house flow while retaining a straightforward sediment-and-carbon treatment platform.

Gold Coast installations should allow for weather exposure, mounting strength and future servicing. Because the standard WH2-60 is an uncovered system, the proposed location should protect the filter from unsuitable environmental exposure and direct sunlight while remaining accessible when the 20-inch cartridges need replacement.

Where a neater exterior presentation or additional enclosure is preferred, a covered Puretec whole-house platform may be worth comparing before installation rather than adding an improvised cover around the WH2-60.

Can the Puretec WH2-60 Replace My Existing Whole-House Filter?

Replacing Another WH2-60

An exact replacement can be comparatively straightforward where the existing bracket location, pipework, valves, pressure control and installation remain serviceable and compliant.

Replacing a WH2-55

The WH2-55 and WH2-60 use the same PX05MP2 and CB10MP2 cartridge pair, but their plumbing connections differ: WH2-55 uses 1-inch BSP while WH2-60 uses 1½-inch BSP.

Replacing a 10-Inch Twin Filter

The WH2-60 uses substantially taller 20-inch cartridges. Mounting height, plumbing position and service clearance will need to be checked before treating the change as like-for-like.

Replacing a Different Brand

Potentially. Connection size, centre spacing, overall dimensions, bracket position, pressure rating and servicing clearance should be checked before installation.

Which Replacement Cartridges Does the Puretec WH2-60 Use?

Stage	Cartridge	Size	Function
Stage 1	PX05MP2	4.5" × 20"	5-micron sediment pre-filtration
Stage 2	CB10MP2	4.5" × 20"	Bonded activated-carbon treatment

Puretec specifies the same PX05MP2 and CB10MP2 cartridge pair for both the WH2-55 and WH2-60. Genuine replacement cartridges are recommended to maintain the manufacturer's intended performance, standards and warranty conditions.

How Often Does the Puretec WH2-60 Need Servicing?

Puretec's whole-house guide states that cartridges should be replaced every 6–12 months, depending on incoming water quality and usage, and separately recommends approximately six-month changes to maintain optimum filtered-water quality.

Sediment Loading

The PX05MP2 can load more quickly where incoming water carries higher particulate levels. Reduced household flow can be an indicator that the sediment stage needs attention.

Carbon Treatment Capacity

The CB10MP2 has finite carbon capacity. Chlorine concentration, chemical loading and household water use can all influence practical cartridge life.

Housing & O-Ring Maintenance

Puretec recommends checking the housings and seals during servicing and replacing O-rings approximately every 3–5 years, or sooner where damage or sealing problems are evident.

After a cartridge change: Puretec instructs that the system should be repressurised gradually, checked for leaks and flushed for approximately two minutes before normal operation.

Puretec WH2-60 vs Other Whole-House Options

System	Maximum Flow	Connection	Cartridge Format	Main Difference
Puretec WH2-30	30 L/min	1" BSP	10-inch dual stage	More compact lower-flow WH2 system
Puretec WH2-55	55 L/min	1" BSP	20-inch dual stage	Same replacement cartridge pair with smaller plumbing connection
Puretec WH2-60	60 L/min	1½" BSP	20-inch dual stage	Larger connection and highest conventional WH2 flow rating
Puretec FilterWall	Model dependent	Model dependent	Enclosed whole-house platform	Different presentation, enclosure and available treatment configurations
Puretec Softrol Water Softener	Model dependent	Model dependent	Ion-exchange resin	Reduces hardness rather than functioning as sediment-and-carbon filtration

The right option depends on incoming pipe size, peak flow, available space, treatment objective and whether the property needs filtration, hardness reduction, UV treatment or a combination of technologies.
