PURETEC WHOLE-HOUSE RAINWATER + UV FILTRATION

Puretec HYBRID-G12 Installation Brisbane & Gold Coast

JR Gas & Water installs and services Puretec HYBRID-G12 whole-house rainwater filtration and UV systems across eligible Brisbane, Gold Coast and surrounding South East Queensland service areas.

The Puretec HYBRID-G12-LF is a triple-stage whole-house filtration and ultraviolet treatment system designed primarily for rainwater applications. Puretec now lists the HYBRID-G12 as a discontinued model, so new-system availability may be limited and current Puretec alternatives should also be considered when planning a new installation.

For existing HYBRID-G12 systems, Puretec continues to publish technical support information and replacement components, including genuine cartridges, the RL6 UV lamp, RQS6 quartz sleeve and dedicated maintenance kit.

Current product status: Puretec lists the HYBRID-G12-LF as discontinued. JR can still assess existing G12 systems, replacement installations and available stock, while customers planning a completely new rainwater UV installation should also compare Puretec's current Hybrid range.

Puretec HYBRID-G12 at a glance: discontinued HYBRID-G12-LF, triple 10-inch filtration, PL05MP1 5-micron sediment cartridge, CB05MP1 5-micron carbon block cartridge, PX01MP1 1-micron sediment cartridge, RL6 46W UV lamp, RQS6 quartz sleeve, 60 L/min filtration flow, 1" BSP / 25mm connection, 70 L/min UV flow at Puretec's 30mJ/cm² drinking-water dose, outdoor weather enclosure, lockable lid and original 3-year Puretec warranty.

Puretec HYBRID-G12 at a Glance

Triple Filtration

Three 10-inch filter stages progressively treat sediment and provide carbon treatment before the water reaches the UV chamber.

Ultraviolet Treatment

The RL6 UV system provides a chemical-free microbiological treatment stage after the water has passed through the filter cartridges.

60 L/min Filtration

Puretec publishes a maximum filtration-platform flow of approximately 60 litres per minute for the G12.

Outdoor Enclosure

The G12 includes a weather-protection cover, corrosion-resistant construction and lockable lid for suitable outdoor installation.

What Is the Puretec HYBRID-G12?

The Puretec HYBRID-G12 is a whole-house rainwater treatment system combining three stages of filtration with ultraviolet treatment.

Instead of relying on sediment filtration alone, the G12 first reduces particulate contamination, then provides carbon treatment and finer filtration before water reaches the ultraviolet reactor.

The system is installed on the incoming water supply so treated water can be distributed through multiple household outlets including taps, showers and laundries.

The G12 uses 10-inch cartridges, making it physically smaller than the HYBRID-G13, which uses 20-inch filtration housings.

How Does the Puretec HYBRID-G12 Treat Water?

Stage 1 – PL05MP1

The first stage uses a PL05MP1 5-micron pleated sediment cartridge to reduce dirt, rust, algae and suspended particulate material.

Stage 2 – CB05MP1

The second stage uses a CB05MP1 5-micron carbon block cartridge to provide carbon treatment for chlorine, unpleasant taste, odour and other suitable carbon-treatable contaminants.

Stage 3 – PX01MP1

The third stage uses a PX01MP1 1-micron polyspun sediment cartridge to provide finer filtration before the water reaches the ultraviolet chamber.

Final UV stage: After filtration, water passes through the RL6 ultraviolet reactor. UV performance depends on water clarity, flow rate, lamp condition, quartz-sleeve condition and correct maintenance.

Why Choose the Puretec HYBRID-G12?

Filtration + UV

The G12 combines sediment filtration, carbon treatment, fine filtration and ultraviolet treatment in one integrated system.

Designed for Rainwater

Puretec designed the Hybrid G range around common whole-house residential rainwater treatment applications.

Compact 10-Inch Format

The G12 uses 10-inch cartridges, giving it a smaller filtration footprint than the larger 20-inch G13.

Weather Protection

A purpose-built cover protects the filtration and UV components in suitable outdoor installations.

Lockable Lid

The anti-tamper and child-resistant lockable lid limits unintended access to filtration and UV components.

UV Monitoring

The controller includes a lamp countdown timer and audible and visible failure alarms.

PRODUCT STATUS

Is the Puretec HYBRID-G12 Still Available?

Puretec currently lists the HYBRID-G12 as a discontinued product.

This is important for customers comparing whole-house systems because the G12 should no longer be presented as a standard current-production Puretec model.

Existing HYBRID-G12 systems can still be maintained using published genuine replacement components, and replacement stock may sometimes exist within the supply chain.

For a completely new installation, JR can also compare current Puretec Hybrid systems to determine whether a newer model is the more appropriate long-term option.

PRODUCT SUITABILITY

Is the HYBRID-G12 Right for Your Home?

Existing G12 Owner

The published replacement components remain available, making servicing and maintenance of installed G12 systems practical.

Replacement Installation

A like-for-like G12 replacement may suit where genuine stock is available and the existing plumbing and electrical arrangement remain appropriate.

New Installation

Because the G12 is discontinued, customers planning a completely new system should compare current Puretec Hybrid models before finalising the installation.

Understanding the HYBRID-G12 Flow Ratings

The G12 has several published flow figures because filtration flow and UV treatment flow are not the same measurement.

Puretec describes the G12 filtration package as a 60 L/min system.

The same RL6 ultraviolet reactor used in the G12 has separate maximum flow rates depending on the UV dose delivered.

UV Dose Published Maximum Flow Application Context
40mJ/cm² 54 L/min Higher UV dose at lower maximum flow
30mJ/cm² 70 L/min Puretec identifies this as the industry-standard dose for drinking water
16mJ/cm² 130 L/min Lower UV dose at higher maximum flow

The system should therefore not simply be marketed as providing 130 L/min of drinking-water UV treatment.

30mJ/cm² Drinking-Water UV Benchmark

Puretec's current G12 product information specifically states that 30mJ/cm² is the industry-standard UV dose for drinking water.

The RL6 reactor is rated at approximately 70 L/min at 30mJ/cm².

However, because the G12's filtration package itself is rated at 60 L/min, the complete G12 installation should still be considered as a 60 L/min filtration platform rather than assuming the higher standalone UV-reactor flow becomes the overall system flow.

UV Treatment for E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium

Puretec states that Hybrid G ultraviolet technology can provide up to 99.99% microbiological treatment and specifically identifies organisms including E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts.

The treatment process is chemical-free and uses ultraviolet light rather than adding disinfecting chemicals to the water.

The result depends on the system being correctly installed and maintained and on the water having suitable clarity for UV treatment.

Why Water Clarity Matters

UV treatment relies on ultraviolet light passing through the water.

Heavy turbidity, staining, suspended solids or certain water-quality conditions can reduce UV transmission and interfere with treatment performance.

Puretec specifically notes that its Hybrid UV systems are designed around common rainwater conditions and offers UVT testing where water clarity is uncertain.

Additional filtration or treatment may therefore be needed where source-water quality falls outside normal rainwater conditions.

What Does the Puretec HYBRID-G12 Treat?

Sediment
Dirt and suspended particles
Rust and particulate material
Chlorine through carbon filtration
Unpleasant taste
Unpleasant odour
Selected carbon-treatable chemicals
E. coli through UV treatment
Giardia through UV treatment
Cryptosporidium cysts through UV treatment

The HYBRID-G12 is not a reverse-osmosis system and is not intended to remove dissolved salts or soften hard water.

Outdoor Weather-Protected Enclosure

Puretec designed the Hybrid G Series with an integrated weather-protection cover for outdoor installations.

The enclosure includes corrosion-resistant construction, a lightweight high-strength aluminium mounting bracket and an anti-tamper, child-resistant lockable lid.

The hinged lid also provides access to the UV lamp for servicing.

The installation position should still follow Puretec's requirements and provide practical clearance for filter and UV maintenance.

UV Lamp Timer and Failure Alarm

The G12 UV controller includes a lamp countdown timer together with audible and visible failure alarms.

This matters because visible lamp illumination alone does not confirm that the lamp is still producing the required UV output.

The lamp should therefore be replaced according to the manufacturer's servicing schedule rather than waiting for complete lamp failure.

HYBRID-G12 Replacement Cartridges and Components

Stage 1 Cartridge PL05MP1
Stage 2 Cartridge CB05MP1
Stage 3 Cartridge PX01MP1
Replacement UV Lamp RL6
Replacement Quartz Sleeve RQS6
Maintenance Kit HR-G12R10

Puretec continues to list the HR-G12R10 maintenance kit for the HYBRID-G12 and HYBRID-R10 series even though the G12 itself is discontinued.

This provides a supported pathway for routine maintenance of existing G12 installations.

HYBRID-G12 vs HYBRID-G13

Specification HYBRID-G12 HYBRID-G13
Product Status Discontinued Current Puretec listing
Filter Size 10 inch 20 inch

UV Flow @ 30mJ/cm² 70 L/min 70 L/min
Connection 1" BSP 1" BSP
Overall Positioning Compact legacy triple-stage Hybrid Larger-capacity current Hybrid G platform

The G13 does not use a more powerful UV lamp than the G12. Both use the RL6 reactor. The major difference is the larger 20-inch filtration package and much greater filtration capacity of the G13.

HYBRID-G12 vs Current Puretec Hybrid Systems

Puretec's current product page directs customers from the discontinued G12 toward the newer Hybrid E Series.

For existing G12 owners, there may be no reason to replace a functioning system simply because the model has been discontinued if genuine maintenance components remain available and the unit remains suitable for the property.

For new installations, however, a current-production system may provide a clearer long-term pathway for product availability and manufacturer support.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

What Is Required to Install the Puretec HYBRID-G12?

Suitable incoming rainwater or approved water source
Suitable outdoor mounting position
Correct 1" / 25mm plumbing arrangement
Suitable rainwater-pump or supply pressure
Pressure limiting above 500kPa where required
Appropriate isolation and bypass arrangement
Clearance for cartridge servicing
Suitable electrical power for the UV system
Protection from freezing
Adequate incoming water clarity
Correct water-flow direction
Commissioning and UV operational checks

The HYBRID-G12 Requires Electricity

The HYBRID-G12 includes an ultraviolet treatment system and therefore requires electrical power.

This is different from passive filtration-only systems such as the Puretec EM2 range.

The installation location must therefore suit both the plumbing and electrical requirements of the UV equipment.

Where a suitable electrical supply is not already available, additional electrical work may form part of the installation scope.

Pressure Requirements

Puretec's published HYBRID-G12 technical data specifies approximately 300–875kPa supply pressure.

Where line pressure exceeds 500kPa, Puretec specifies that an approved pressure-limiting device must be installed in accordance with applicable plumbing requirements.

For rainwater installations, actual operating pressure also depends on the tank pump and complete plumbing arrangement.

What's Included With HYBRID-G12 Installation?

Existing or Available G12 System

Where an existing system is being replaced or genuine stock is available, JR can assess the G12 installation against the property's plumbing and treatment requirements.

Plumbing Installation

Installation can include connection to suitable existing plumbing, mounting, applicable flushing, leak checks and commissioning.

UV Setup

The UV system is checked for operation and the owner can be advised on lamp, quartz-sleeve and cartridge maintenance requirements.

Additional bypass plumbing, valves, pressure limiting, pump alterations, electrical work, structural work or mains/rainwater changeover changes may require additional scope.

How Much Does Puretec HYBRID-G12 Installation Cost?

Installation pricing depends on the exact G12 installation or replacement scenario.

Because Puretec has discontinued the HYBRID-G12, new-unit pricing and availability can vary according to remaining stock.

Installation cost also depends on existing pipework, pump configuration, water pressure, electrical supply, mounting position, bypass requirements and whether the project involves replacing an existing Hybrid system or creating a completely new treatment setup.

BRISBANE INSTALLATION

Puretec HYBRID-G12 Installation Brisbane

JR Gas & Water can service, replace and install suitable Puretec HYBRID-G12 systems in Brisbane where the unit and installation arrangement remain appropriate.

For existing G12 owners, JR can assess the cartridges, UV components, plumbing, pump arrangement and servicing requirements.

For customers planning a completely new rainwater UV installation, a current Puretec Hybrid model may provide a better long-term product pathway than starting with a discontinued G12.

Eligible service coverage extends across Greater Brisbane and surrounding areas including Logan, Ipswich, Redlands and Moreton Bay.

GOLD COAST INSTALLATION

Puretec HYBRID-G12 Installation Gold Coast

JR Gas & Water can also service and install suitable Puretec HYBRID-G12 systems on the Gold Coast across eligible service areas.

JR assesses the tank water source, pump, water clarity, plumbing, pressure, electrical supply and future maintenance pathway before confirming the installation.

Can the HYBRID-G12 Replace My Existing Rainwater Filter?

Replacing Another G12

A like-for-like replacement can be relatively straightforward where genuine stock is available and the existing plumbing and electrical arrangement remain suitable.

Servicing an Existing G12

Puretec continues to list the required cartridges, RL6 lamp, RQS6 sleeve and HR-G12R10 maintenance kit.

Replacing an EM2

The G12 adds UV treatment and a third filtration stage, which also introduces electrical and additional servicing requirements.

Replacing Separate Filters + UV

The G12 may consolidate separate treatment components where its flow and installation requirements suit the property.

Completely New Installation

Because the G12 is discontinued, current Puretec systems should also be considered before committing to remaining G12 stock.

Poor Water Clarity

Additional testing or treatment may be required if the source water does not provide sufficient UV transmission.
