Puretec Water Filtration & Water Treatment: A Complete Guide to Cleaner, Better-Tasting Water
Water is an essential part of everyday life, from drinking and cooking to showering, cleaning and washing. While Australian mains and rainwater supplies are generally treated and managed to high standards, unwanted substances such as sediment, chlorine, rust, odours and other impurities can still affect water quality, taste and the performance of household plumbing and appliances.
That is where a quality water filtration and water treatment system can make a difference.
At Burdens Bathrooms, you can shop a comprehensive range of Puretec water filtration and water treatment products, with solutions designed for different water sources, household requirements and applications. From whole-house filtration systems and under-sink water filters to replacement cartridges, rainwater treatment products and specialised filtration systems, Puretec offers practical solutions for improving water quality throughout the home.
Whether you're building a new home, renovating your kitchen or bathroom, upgrading your existing plumbing system or simply looking for better-tasting drinking water, Puretec has a filtration solution worth considering.

What Is Water Filtration and Why Does It Matter?
Water filtration is the process of removing or reducing unwanted particles, contaminants and substances from water before it reaches the point of use.
The type of filtration required depends on your water source and what you are trying to reduce. For example, sediment filters are designed to capture particles such as dirt, sand and rust, while carbon filtration can help reduce chlorine, chemicals, unpleasant tastes and odours.
Some systems combine several filtration technologies to provide more comprehensive water treatment. Puretec offers filtration options ranging from simple single-stage systems through to advanced multi-stage filtration and UV sterilisation systems.
Choosing the right filtration system can help you achieve:
- Cleaner and clearer water
- Improved water taste and odour
- Reduced sediment and particulate matter
- Reduced chlorine and certain chemicals
- Better-quality water for drinking and cooking
- Protection for plumbing fixtures and appliances
- Convenient filtered water throughout the home
- More confidence when using rainwater or alternative water supplies
The key is choosing a system that matches your water supply and the specific filtration requirements of your household.
Explore Puretec Water Filtration at Burdens Bathrooms
Burdens Bathrooms offers a broad selection of Puretec products, including filtration systems, cartridges, replacement parts, water treatment products and related accessories.
The Puretec collection currently includes a wide range of products covering everything from compact drinking water filtration through to whole-house water treatment systems.
Here are some of the key Puretec solutions to consider.
Puretec Whole House Water Filtration
If you want filtered water throughout your home rather than only at the kitchen sink, a whole-house water filtration system may be the ideal solution.
Whole-house filtration systems are installed at the point where water enters the property, allowing the incoming water supply to be treated before it travels throughout your plumbing system.
This means filtration can potentially benefit multiple areas of your home, including:
- Kitchen taps
- Bathroom taps
- Showers
- Laundry
- Appliances
- Outdoor taps
Puretec's whole-house range includes multi-stage filtration systems designed for different water sources and household requirements.
Puretec FilterWall™
One of the standout options available at Burdens Bathrooms is the Puretec FilterWall™ Whole House Filtration System.
Designed as a point-of-entry filtration solution, FilterWall™ combines water treatment performance with a contemporary enclosure designed to integrate more neatly into modern homes. Burdens Bathrooms offers FilterWall™ options with different flow rates and front-cover finishes, including 30L/min and 55L/min configurations.
The available finishes make it possible to select an option that better suits the surrounding installation area, while the plumbed bypass configuration can make servicing and maintenance more practical.
For homeowners looking to upgrade their water filtration without compromising the appearance of their installation, Puretec FilterWall™ is an excellent option to explore.

Puretec Under-Sink Water Filtration Systems
For households primarily concerned with drinking and cooking water, an under-sink water filter provides a compact and convenient solution.
Installed beneath the kitchen sink, these systems can deliver filtered water without requiring a large filtration unit to take up valuable bench space.
Puretec offers a range of under-sink filtration options with different levels of filtration, micron ratings and cartridge technologies.
Puretec Z Series
The Puretec Z Series includes compact filtration solutions designed for convenient installation beneath the kitchen sink.
Products available within the range include options such as the Puretec Z7-R Replacement Cartridge, Puretec Z6-R Replacement Cartridge and Puretec Z2-R Quick Twist Cartridge, providing replacement options for compatible Puretec filtration systems.
Puretec's Quick Twist cartridge designs can also make regular filter replacement simpler, helping homeowners maintain their filtration system without unnecessarily complicated servicing.
For households dealing with sediment, chlorine, taste or odour concerns, choosing the correct replacement cartridge is just as important as selecting the original filtration system.
Puretec Sediment Filter Cartridges
One of the most important parts of a filtration system is the filter cartridge itself.
Sediment can include particles such as dirt, sand, rust, silt and other suspended matter. Depending on the water supply, sediment can affect water clarity and may contribute to issues within plumbing fixtures and appliances.
Puretec offers an extensive range of sediment cartridges in different sizes and micron ratings. Available options range from fine filtration through to higher-micron sediment removal, allowing the cartridge to be selected according to the requirements of the filtration system and water supply.
A great example is the Puretec Polyspun Sediment Cartridge 10" 5um PX051, designed for sediment removal applications.
Puretec also offers pleated sediment cartridges such as the PL051, PL101 and PL201, with different micron ratings for different filtration requirements.
Why Is Micron Rating Important?
A micron is a unit of measurement used to describe the size of particles that a filter is designed to capture.
Generally, a lower micron rating means finer filtration. However, finer filtration is not automatically better for every application. The correct cartridge depends on the system, water quality, flow requirements and manufacturer's recommendations.
That's why it is important to check your existing Puretec system and select a compatible replacement cartridge rather than choosing solely based on the micron rating.
Puretec Carbon Filter Cartridges
Carbon filtration is another important part of water treatment.
Carbon cartridges are designed to help reduce chlorine, certain chemicals, unpleasant tastes and odours, making them particularly useful for improving the sensory quality of drinking water.
Puretec offers carbon cartridges in various sizes and filtration specifications. Its carbon filter range includes cartridges from smaller configurations through to larger options suitable for different filtration systems.
For example, the Puretec Carbon Block Cartridge 10" 0.5um CB951 is one of the carbon filtration products available through the Puretec range at Burdens Bathrooms.
When replacing a carbon cartridge, always check the compatible system, cartridge dimensions and manufacturer's specifications to ensure the replacement is suitable.
Puretec Rainwater Filtration and Treatment
Rainwater tanks can provide an excellent alternative water source for Australian households, but rainwater quality can be affected by the roof, gutters, storage tank and surrounding environment.
Puretec offers dedicated filtration and treatment systems designed for rainwater applications.
These include systems with multiple stages of filtration and UV sterilisation, as well as products designed specifically for rainwater tank treatment.
Puretec TankSafe
For rainwater tank owners, Puretec TankSafe provides a dedicated rainwater tank treatment solution. TankSafe is available in different sizes, making it possible to select a product according to the size of the tank and treatment requirements.
Burdens Bathrooms stocks Puretec TankSafe products including the TankSafe TK1000 1L Rainwater Tank Purifier, TK2000 2L Rainwater Tank Purifier and larger-capacity options.
Puretec also offers TankSafe testing products, helping users monitor their rainwater treatment requirements.
If your home relies on rainwater, selecting suitable filtration and treatment equipment is an important part of managing your water system.
Puretec UV Water Filtration Systems
Some Puretec filtration systems combine traditional cartridge filtration with UV sterilisation.
UV treatment uses ultraviolet light as part of the water treatment process and is available across a number of Puretec rainwater and whole-house filtration systems.
Puretec's range includes systems such as the HYBRID-E6, HYBRID-E7, HYBRID-E8, HYBRID-E9 and HYBRID-E13, with configurations offering different stages of filtration, cartridge sizes and micron ratings.
For households using rainwater, these systems can provide a more comprehensive approach by combining physical filtration with UV treatment.
The correct system will depend on factors such as water source, flow requirements, existing plumbing, available space and the level of treatment required.
Puretec Caravan and Portable Water Filters
Puretec isn't only for permanent residential installations.
The range also includes portable and caravan water filtration solutions, making it possible to improve water quality while travelling.
Products available include the Puretec CR20 Caravan Filter Kit, CR20 inline filter, CR-Z2 Caravan Water Filter with Tap and other caravan filtration products.
These products can be particularly useful for caravan owners who want a convenient filtration solution while travelling between different water supplies.
For those who spend time on the road, a portable water filter can be a practical addition to a caravan or recreational setup.
Puretec Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration
For homeowners looking for highly advanced filtration, Puretec also offers reverse osmosis water filtration systems.
Reverse osmosis uses a specialised membrane as part of a multi-stage filtration process. Puretec's range includes systems such as the RO270 Reverse Osmosis Water Filter, as well as compatible tap and filter configurations.
Reverse osmosis can be an option for households with specific water quality requirements where a more extensive filtration process is desired.
As with any water filtration system, it is important to understand your water quality and requirements before selecting a reverse osmosis system.
Don't Forget Puretec Replacement Cartridges
Installing a water filter is only the beginning. Regular filter maintenance and replacement are essential for keeping a filtration system performing as intended.
Puretec offers replacement cartridges across several categories, including:
- Quick Twist cartridges
- Carbon filter cartridges
- Sediment cartridges
- Inline and compatible cartridges
- Speciality cartridges
- Care and maintenance kits
Puretec's speciality cartridges are designed to address specific water treatment requirements, including fluoride, nitrate, chlorine, scale and tannin reduction.
Maintenance kits are also available for various Puretec systems, including FilterWall™, Hybrid and other whole-house filtration products.
Replacing cartridges at the recommended intervals can help maintain filtration performance and ensure your system continues to operate effectively.
How to Choose the Right Puretec Water Filter
With so many filtration options available, choosing the right system can initially seem overwhelming.
Start by considering these five factors:
1. What Is Your Water Source?
Is your property connected to mains water, rainwater or another water supply?
Different water sources can have different filtration requirements.
2. Where Do You Want Filtered Water?
If you only need filtered drinking water, an under-sink system may be sufficient.
If you want filtration throughout the house, consider a whole-house filtration system.
3. What Are You Trying to Reduce?
Sediment, chlorine, taste, odour, scale and other water quality concerns may require different filtration technologies.
4. What Flow Rate Do You Need?
For whole-house systems, consider how much water your household uses at peak times. Showers, taps, washing machines and other fixtures may operate simultaneously.
5. How Will You Maintain the System?
Check cartridge availability, replacement requirements and maintenance procedures before making your decision.
If you're unsure which Puretec system is right for your application, speak with a qualified plumbing professional or the team at Burdens Bathrooms for guidance.
