PURETEC HYBRID FACTORY MAINTENANCE KIT
Puretec HR-G12R10 Factory Service Kit – Suits Hybrid G12 & R10
The Puretec HR-G12R10 is the genuine manufacturer-listed maintenance kit for compatible Puretec Hybrid G12 and Hybrid R10 whole-house filtration and ultraviolet systems.
The kit combines the three replacement filter cartridges with the key UV service components required for scheduled maintenance: PL05MP1, CB05MP1, PX01MP1, RL6 UV lamp, RQS6 quartz sleeve, food-grade lubricant and two O-rings.
Rather than replacing only one filter stage, the HR-G12R10 provides the principal consumable components specified by Puretec for a major G12 or R10 maintenance service.
Quick answer:
the Puretec HR-G12R10 suits Hybrid G12 and Hybrid R10 systems. It contains three 4.5" × 10" MaxiPlus cartridges, an RL6 46W UV lamp, an RQS6 quartz sleeve, food-grade lubricant and two O-rings. Puretec's Hybrid maintenance guide specifies cartridge replacement every 6 months, annual UV lamp replacement and regular quartz-sleeve inspection.

```
THREE FILTRATION STAGES + UV
Designed for the Full G12 & R10 Treatment Sequence
Compatible Hybrid G12 and R10 systems use three cartridge stages before ultraviolet treatment.
Stage 1 provides washable 5 micron sediment filtration, Stage 2 adds activated-carbon treatment for chlorine, unwanted taste and odour, and Stage 3 provides finer 1 micron sediment filtration.
Water then passes through the UV chamber, where the RL6 lamp and RQS6 quartz sleeve form part of the system's microbiological treatment stage.
STAGE 1
PL05MP1 5 Micron Washable Sediment Cartridge
The PL05MP1 is installed nearest the water inlet as the first cartridge stage.
Puretec manufactures it from reusable non-woven polyester media pleated around a polypropylene support core, providing a large filtration surface area for suspended sediment.
5 Micron
Provides nominal 5 micron sediment filtration.
```
4.5" × 10"
Uses Puretec's 10-inch MaxiPlus cartridge format.
90 L/min
Puretec lists the individual PL05MP1 cartridge at up to 90 litres per minute.
Washable
Puretec specifies the pleated polyester media as washable and reusable where appropriate.
Sediment
Designed to reduce dirt, rust, sand, silt and similar suspended particulate material.
Pre-Filtration
Reduces particulate loading before the carbon and fine-sediment stages.
```
STAGE 2
CB05MP1 5 Micron Carbon Block Cartridge
The CB05MP1 is the second cartridge stage in both the Hybrid G12 and Hybrid R10.
It is manufactured from bonded activated carbon and is specified by Puretec for reduction of chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.
5 Micron
Nominal 5 micron bonded carbon-block filtration.
```
4.5" × 10"
Uses Puretec's 10-inch MaxiPlus carbon cartridge format.
Activated Carbon
Provides the principal chlorine, unwanted taste and odour treatment stage.
Sediment
The carbon block also contributes to particulate reduction within its nominal filtration rating.
Bonded Construction
Puretec specifies bonded activated carbon rather than a loose granular carbon bed.
No Loose Carbon Bed
The bonded construction is designed to avoid the normal release of loose carbon fines associated with granular media.
```
STAGE 3
PX01MP1 1 Micron Fine Sediment Cartridge
The PX01MP1 is installed as the third cartridge stage before ultraviolet treatment.
Puretec manufactures the PX Series from virgin polypropylene using graded-density polyspun construction, allowing sediment to be captured throughout the depth of the filtration media.
1 Micron
Provides fine nominal sediment filtration before the UV chamber.
```
4.5" × 10"
Uses Puretec's 10-inch MaxiPlus format.
75 L/min
Puretec lists the individual PX01MP1 cartridge at up to 75 litres per minute.
```
UV COMPONENT
RL6 46W High-Output UV Lamp
The HR-G12R10 includes one genuine Puretec RL6 46W high-output UV lamp.
The RL6 is specifically listed by Puretec for compatible Hybrid G, R and P Series systems, including the Hybrid G12 and R10.
Puretec specifies annual UV lamp replacement.
The lamp has a rated service life of 365 days, and the applicable Hybrid controller includes a lamp-life timer that is reset after lamp replacement.
QUARTZ SLEEVE
RQS6 Replacement Quartz Sleeve
The RQS6 is a quartz sleeve, not a filter cartridge.
It forms the clear barrier surrounding the UV lamp inside the stainless-steel UV chamber. UV light must pass through this sleeve before reaching the water.
Puretec recommends inspecting the quartz sleeve approximately every 3 months, depending on source-water quality, because deposits on the sleeve can reduce UV transmission.
The sleeve can be cleaned with the appropriate Puretec sleeve cleaner where required, or replaced if damaged or unable to be restored to a suitably clear condition.

SERVICE PROCESS
What Is Involved in a Hybrid G12 or R10 Service?
Servicing a Hybrid G12 or R10 involves both the filtration housings and the ultraviolet treatment assembly.
- Confirm the installed system is a Hybrid G12 or Hybrid R10
- Disconnect electrical power before UV servicing
- Turn off the incoming water supply
- Relieve pressure from the filtration system
- Allow UV components to cool before handling
- Remove PL05MP1, CB05MP1 and PX01MP1
- Clean the filter bowls with soap and warm water
- Rinse filter bowls thoroughly
- Inspect housing O-rings and sealing surfaces
- Use the supplied food-grade lubricant where required
- Install PL05MP1 in stage one
- Install CB05MP1 in stage two
- Install PX01MP1 in stage three
- Replace the RL6 UV lamp
- Inspect, clean or replace the RQS6 quartz sleeve as required
- Restore water gradually and check the system for leaks
- Flush cartridges for the applicable period
- Restore power and reset the UV lamp-life timer
CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Correct Cartridge Order Matters
Puretec identifies the cartridge nearest the incoming water supply as Stage 1.
1. PL05MP1
Washable 5 micron pleated sediment cartridge nearest the water inlet.
```
2. CB05MP1
5 micron bonded activated-carbon cartridge in the middle filtration position.
3. PX01MP1
1 micron graded polyspun sediment cartridge immediately before UV treatment.
```
Do not rearrange the cartridge sequence.
The three cartridges perform different functions and should be installed in the positions specified by Puretec.
FLUSHING AFTER SERVICE
Recommission the System After Cartridge Replacement
Puretec's Hybrid maintenance procedure instructs users to restore the water supply gradually with a downstream tap open so trapped air can escape.
The system should then be flushed for approximately 1–2 minutes and checked for leaks before being returned to normal operation.
Puretec also recommends flushing for 1–2 minutes after periods of non-use longer than two weeks. After very long periods of non-use, cartridge replacement may be required depending on condition.
UV SERVICE CARE
Important Lamp & Quartz Sleeve Handling
The UV section requires additional care beyond a standard filter-cartridge service.
Always disconnect power before working on the UV assembly.
Puretec also instructs users to isolate the water supply, release water pressure and allow the UV components to cool before servicing.
Avoid touching the glass surface of the UV lamp unnecessarily, as fingerprints and marks can interfere with UV transmission. The quartz sleeve should also be handled carefully because it is glass and can be damaged during removal or installation.
WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED
Some Maintenance Products & Repairs Remain Separate
The HR-G12R10 includes the three cartridges, RL6 lamp, RQS6 sleeve, food-grade lubricant and two O-rings.
Separate products such as Puretec quartz-sleeve cleaner and filter-housing cleaner should not be described as included unless they are separately supplied with your order.
Existing system faults are separate from scheduled maintenance.
Damaged housings, UV controllers, electrical components, pumps, valves, pipework or other worn parts can require additional components or labour.
