PURETEC RAINWATER FILTRATION + PUMP + UV

Puretec HYBRID-P3 Installation Brisbane & Gold Coast

JR Gas & Water supplies and installs the Puretec HYBRID-P3 across eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast properties for homes wanting an integrated rainwater pressure pump, three-stage filtration and ultraviolet treatment in one weather-protected cabinet.

The current Puretec HYBRID-P3-LF combines a Grundfos CMB-SP 3-47 pressure pump, PM2 pressure controller, three 20-inch MaxiPlus™ filtration cartridges and Puretec Radfire™ ultraviolet treatment.

Unlike the HYBRID-P9, the P3 does not include a mains-to-rain changeover controller as standard. That makes it particularly relevant where a property needs filtration, UV and a built-in pressure pump but does not require automatic mains-water backup as part of the factory package.

Quick answer: the Puretec HYBRID-P3 is a whole-house rainwater treatment system with a 0.5 kW Grundfos CMB-SP 3-47 pump rated at 50 L/min, PL05MP2 + CB05MP2 + PX01MP2 filtration, RL6 UV lamp and RQS6 quartz sleeve. Puretec publishes 70 L/min UV flow at 30 mJ/cm², its stated drinking-water industry-standard UV dose. The P3 does not include automatic mains-to-rain changeover as standard.

Puretec HYBRID-P3 at a Glance

Pump Flow 50 L/min

Pump Power 0.5 kW

Fine Filtration 1 Micron

Mains Backup Not Standard

What Is the Puretec HYBRID-P3?

The HYBRID-P3 is part of Puretec's HybridPlus P Series. It combines household water pressure and multi-stage rainwater treatment inside one enclosed external system.

Rather than installing a pump, three filter housings and UV equipment as separate exposed components, the P3 packages the main treatment hardware inside a lockable cabinet designed for outdoor use.

Integrated Grundfos Pump

The CMB-SP 3-47 provides a published pump flow of 50 L/min and uses Puretec's PM2 pressure controller.

Three 20-Inch Filters

Progressive sediment and carbon filtration prepares the water before it passes through the ultraviolet stage.

Radfire™ UV Treatment

The final stage uses Puretec's RL6 ultraviolet lamp and RQS6 quartz sleeve for microbiological treatment.

How the Puretec HYBRID-P3 Treats Rainwater

PL05MP2

5-micron washable pleated sediment filtration. The first stage reduces suspended sediment before water reaches the finer treatment stages.

CB05MP2

5-micron bonded carbon block filtration. This stage provides Puretec's documented sediment, chlorine, unwanted taste and odour treatment.

PX01MP2

1-micron graded polyspun filtration. Fine dirt, rust, sand, silt, algae and other suspended particles are reduced before UV treatment.

Radfire™ UV

The final stage exposes suitably filtered water to ultraviolet light for Puretec's documented microbiological treatment.

The stages work together. UV treatment does not replace sediment and carbon filtration, while cartridge filtration does not replace microbiological UV treatment. Water clarity before the UV chamber is important to treatment performance.

What Does the Puretec HYBRID-P3 Treat?

Sediment & Suspended Particles

The PL05MP2 and PX01MP2 stages provide progressive sediment filtration down to the system's nominal 1-micron final cartridge stage.

Taste, Odour & Chlorine

The CB05MP2 bonded carbon stage provides manufacturer-listed reduction of chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.

Microbiological Treatment

Puretec states that its Radfire™ UV technology provides up to 99.9% treatment against E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts under the specified operating conditions.

Do not treat the P3 as a universal water-treatment system. UV does not remove dissolved salts, hardness or chemical contamination, and unusual rainwater, bore-water or surface-water conditions may require additional treatment or testing.

Pump Flow vs UV Treatment Flow

The HYBRID-P3's pump flow and ultraviolet treatment ratings describe different parts of the system.

Specification	Published Flow	What It Means
Grundfos Pump	50 L/min	Published output of the CMB-SP 3-47 pump configuration
UV @ 40 mJ/cm²	54 L/min	Higher UV dose at the lower published treatment flow
UV @ 30 mJ/cm²	70 L/min	Puretec identifies 30 mJ/cm² as its drinking-water industry-standard UV dose
UV @ 16 mJ/cm²	130 L/min	Lower published UV dose at higher water flow

The P3's published 50 L/min pump flow is below Puretec's published 54 L/min flow even at the higher 40 mJ/cm² UV dose. Real installed flow still depends on pipework, tank position, suction losses, fixtures and system condition.

Who Is the Puretec HYBRID-P3 Best For?

Whole-House Rainwater Users

Well suited where tank water supplies multiple internal fixtures and the property needs filtration, UV treatment and household pressure together.

Moderate Pump Demand

The 50 L/min pump platform suits properties that do not require Puretec's larger 86 L/min CMB-SP 5-47 pump configuration.

No Standard Mains Backup Needed

The P3 is particularly relevant where automatic mains-to-rain changeover is not required as part of the factory system.

Is the HYBRID-P3 Right for Your Home?

Good Choice

Rainwater is used throughout the home
A new pressure pump is required
UV treatment is required
50 L/min pump performance suits demand
Automatic mains backup is not essential
An enclosed installation is preferred
Regular filter and UV servicing is acceptable

Consider Another Option

An existing pump should be retained
Automatic mains backup is required
Household demand requires the larger pump
Only basic filtration is required
The cabinet cannot be positioned accessibly
Source water requires specialist treatment

JR Should Check

Rainwater tank condition
Tank outlet and suction line
Peak household water demand
Whether mains backup is required
Available electrical supply
Installation and servicing space
Source-water quality where unusual

The 50 L/min figure is pump output, not guaranteed household fixture flow. Installed performance depends on the tank, suction line, pipe sizing, vertical lift, filtration condition and downstream plumbing.

Weather-Protected Integrated Cabinet

Puretec describes the HybridPlus cabinet as weatherproof, rodent resistant and tamper resistant, with lockable gull-wing access doors and concealed ventilation.

The enclosure keeps the pump, filtration and UV equipment together instead of leaving individual components exposed around the tank or side of the property.

The cabinet still needs service access. It should not be installed so tightly against landscaping, fencing, storage or permanent structures that cartridge replacement, UV servicing or pump maintenance becomes impractical.

Does the Puretec HYBRID-P3 Include Mains Backup?

No mains-to-rain controller is included as standard on the HYBRID-P3.

This is one of the most important differences between the P3 and P9. Both use the same CMB-SP 3-47 pump and the same cartridge and UV treatment platform, but Puretec specifies standard mains-to-rain control on the P9 rather than the P3.

If automatic mains backup is required, compare the HYBRID-P9 before ordering. Adding a different changeover arrangement later can alter the plumbing, controls and final installation scope.

Rainwater Tank & Pump Requirements

An integrated pump still depends on a correctly configured tank supply and suction line.

Rainwater tank outlet checked
Tank condition considered
Suction-line size checked
Suction distance assessed
Vertical lift considered
Air leaks on suction plumbing avoided
Suitable isolation provided
Stable installation base provided
Electrical supply available
Service access maintained
Pump priming requirements followed
System commissioned after installation

Puretec publishes self-priming up to 4 metres. Actual pump behaviour depends on the complete suction-line layout, pipe friction, tank level and installation conditions.

Electrical Requirements for the HYBRID-P3

The current P3 specification requires 220–240 V AC / 50 Hz power and lists maximum current consumption of 3.1–2.8 A.

Power is required for the pressure pump, ultraviolet lamp and system controls.

No power means no active UV treatment. The UV stage needs to remain operational for the system to provide its intended ultraviolet treatment function.

Rainwater Quality Before Installation

The HYBRID-P3 provides a complete rainwater treatment pathway, but the condition of the catchment and tank remains important.

Roof & Gutters

Leaves, debris and poor catchment maintenance increase the load placed on the filtration stages.

Tank Sediment

Heavy sludge or accumulated sediment can shorten practical cartridge life and increase maintenance requirements.

Unusual Water Quality

Bore, surface or unusually mineralised water may require testing and additional treatment before the HybridPlus system.

How Much Does Puretec HYBRID-P3 Installation Cost?

Current supplied-and-installed pricing is shown in JR's live selector above.

A replacement where the existing tank connection, electrical supply, base and household pipework already suit the system can involve substantially less work than a new installation with long suction pipework, new power or substantial plumbing alterations.

If automatic mains backup is required, that should also be identified before installation because the P3 does not include the mains-to-rain controller as standard.

BRISBANE RAINWATER + UV + PUMP INSTALLATION

Puretec HYBRID-P3 Installation Brisbane

JR Gas & Water supplies and installs the Puretec HYBRID-P3 across eligible Brisbane homes using tank water for internal household supply.

For Brisbane properties, JR considers tank location, suction distance, pipe sizing, available power and household flow demand before confirming the P3 installation pathway.

Eligible service coverage also extends through Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and Redlands, subject to current installation availability.

GOLD COAST RAINWATER + UV + PUMP INSTALLATION

Puretec HYBRID-P3 Installation Gold Coast

JR Gas & Water also supplies and installs the HYBRID-P3 across eligible Gold Coast rainwater properties.

The 50 L/min pump platform can provide an integrated solution for properties that need household pressure, filtration and UV treatment without automatically stepping up to the larger P6/P12 pump platform.

Cabinet placement should keep the equipment accessible so the three cartridges, UV lamp, quartz sleeve and pump can all be maintained over the life of the system.

How Often Does the Puretec HYBRID-P3 Need Servicing?

The HYBRID-P3 contains several service components with different maintenance requirements.

Filter Cartridges

Puretec specifies cartridge replacement approximately every 6–12 months, depending on source-water quality and usage.

RL6 UV Lamp

The UV lamp should be replaced annually to maintain the intended ultraviolet treatment performance.

Quartz Sleeve

The quartz sleeve should be inspected and cleaned as required so deposits do not reduce UV transmission through the chamber.

UV servicing is not just checking whether the lamp still glows. UV output decreases as lamps age, while contamination on the quartz sleeve can reduce treatment performance.

Puretec HYBRID-P3 Service Kit

The genuine Puretec HR-G13R11P maintenance kit suits all Hybrid P Series systems, including the HYBRID-P3.

Three Filter Cartridges

The kit includes PL05MP2, CB05MP2 and PX01MP2 to renew the complete cartridge filtration train.

UV Lamp & Quartz Sleeve

The kit includes the RL6 replacement lamp and RQS6 quartz sleeve used by the P3 UV system.

Service Components

Puretec also includes two replacement O-rings and food-grade lubricant in the complete factory maintenance kit.

HYBRID-P1 vs P3 vs P9 vs P12

Feature	P1	P3	P9	P12
3-Stage Filtration + UV	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Factory Pump	No	CMB-SP 3-47	CMB-SP 3-47	CMB-SP 5-47
Published Pump Flow	N/A	50 L/min	50 L/min	86 L/min
Mains-to-Rain Controller	No	No	Standard	Standard
Typical Reason to Compare	Use your own compatible pump	50 L/min integrated pump without standard mains backup	50 L/min integrated pump with standard mains backup	Larger 86 L/min pump with standard mains backup

The treatment stages remain closely related across the P Series. The main purchasing decision is often whether a pump is required, which pump output suits the property and whether automatic mains backup is needed.

Puretec HYBRID-P3 Warranty

Puretec currently specifies a 3-year HybridPlus system warranty, structured as 1 year parts and labour plus 2 years parts only, subject to the current warranty terms.

The Grundfos pump is excluded from the Puretec three-year component warranty and is covered separately by a 2-year Grundfos back-to-base warranty.

Filter cartridges, UV lamps and other scheduled consumable maintenance components are excluded from the main system warranty.

JR Lifetime Warranty eligibility is separate. Any JR workmanship or Lifetime Warranty pathway shown on the live product page is governed by JR's current eligibility and servicing terms rather than Puretec's manufacturer warranty.
