The Puretec IMB Series systems are designed to run economically for many years, 
dependent on the initial installation and periodical maintenance.

Carefully read through the installation and operating instructions and safety information 
before installing and putting the unit into service. 

Introduction

The IMB Series is a semi-automatic, self-cleaning protection filter with an 89 micron 
filtering mesh designed for filtering water intended for human consumption. 

The IMB System protects hydro-thermo-sanitary systems and pipes against damage 

caused by small quantities of foreign bodies, such as: pebbles, rust flakes, oxides and 
metal scraps with a maximum size of 2 mm.

For applications other than the ones expressly described herein, it is necessary to contact 

Puretec on 1300 140 140 (Australia) 0800 130 140 (New Zealand), before proceeding 
with the installation.

The IMB is not a purifier and is not a water purification system.
