The Puretec Hybrid G12 is a whole-house triple-stage filtration and ultraviolet water-treatment system designed primarily for rainwater. Rather than being a small inline kitchen filter, the Hybrid G12 treats the property's main water supply so filtered and UV-treated water can be delivered to downstream outlets throughout the home.
The current manufacturer listing identifies the unit as HYBRID-G12-LF. It combines three 10-inch MaxiPlus cartridges — PL05MP1, CB05MP1 and PX01MP1 — followed by Puretec's Radfire ultraviolet system using an RL6 46W UV lamp and RQS6 quartz sleeve.
The Puretec Hybrid G12 is now a discontinued model. Supply is therefore subject to remaining stock, although Puretec continues to support the model with genuine replacement filters, UV components and the HR-G12R10 maintenance kit.
The Hybrid G12 filters and UV-treats water before it is distributed through the property's plumbing system. Incoming water first passes through three dedicated filtration cartridges and then through the stainless-steel ultraviolet chamber.
The filtration stages reduce dirt, rust, sediment, chlorine, chemicals, unpleasant taste and odour. The final ultraviolet stage provides chemical-free microbiological treatment.
Puretec states that its Radfire UV technology is highly effective against microorganisms including E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts when the system is correctly sized, maintained and operated with suitable incoming water quality.
No. The Puretec Hybrid G12 is not a compact under-sink inline filter and it does not simply connect to one existing kitchen mixer.
It is a substantial whole-house point-of-entry system approximately 866mm wide and 700mm high, containing three large filtration housings plus an ultraviolet treatment chamber.
The system is intended to treat water before it enters the property's internal plumbing network, providing treated water to multiple downstream outlets rather than only one kitchen tap.
Puretec specifically designed the Hybrid G Series for rainwater applications where whole-house filtration and ultraviolet treatment are required.
Puretec describes the Hybrid G12 and G13 systems as suited to medium-to-large households requiring treated water throughout the property.
The G12 combines mechanical and carbon filtration with a powered UV stage rather than relying on filtration cartridges alone.
The first and third stages provide progressive sediment filtration for dirt, rust, sand, silt and fine suspended particles.
The middle CB05MP1 carbon-block stage reduces chlorine, undesirable taste and odour while also contributing additional sediment filtration.
After filtration, Radfire UV technology provides chemical-free ultraviolet treatment against microorganisms including E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts.
Puretec currently marks the Hybrid G12 as discontinued and directs customers toward its newer Hybrid E Series.
Existing G12 installations remain serviceable because Puretec continues to publish the required replacement cartridges, UV lamp, quartz sleeve and complete maintenance kit.
If purchasing a new whole-house UV system rather than maintaining an existing G12, availability should be confirmed before ordering and the current Puretec range should also be considered against the property's flow and treatment requirements.
*Puretec specifies 3 years parts, including parts and labour for the first year where applicable, followed by 2 years parts only. Consumable filtration and UV components are subject to manufacturer warranty exclusions.
The G12 combines three different filtration stages followed by ultraviolet treatment.
A washable 5 micron pleated sediment cartridge removes coarse dirt, sand and other suspended particles.
A 5 micron carbon-block cartridge reduces chlorine, chemicals, undesirable taste and odour while providing additional filtration.
A graded polyspun cartridge provides final 1 micron sediment filtration before the water reaches the UV chamber.
The filtered water passes through the ultraviolet chamber where the RL6 lamp provides chemical-free microbiological treatment.
Puretec states that the Hybrid G12's Radfire ultraviolet technology can achieve up to 99.99% reduction of E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts under appropriate operating conditions.
UV treatment does not work independently of water quality. Suspended solids, iron, manganese, hardness and other substances can interfere with UV transmission by shielding microorganisms or depositing on the quartz sleeve.
Puretec therefore notes that the effectiveness of the UV system depends on the clarity of the water and recommends a UV transmittance test where rainwater clarity is uncertain.
Puretec's documentation publishes both a 60 L/min headline maximum system flow and separate UV-chamber performance figures at different ultraviolet doses.
| Published Figure | Flow | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G12 Headline Maximum | 60 L/min | The published maximum flow for the complete Hybrid G12 system. |
| UV @ 40 mJ/cm² | 54 L/min | Higher UV dose at a lower flow. |
| UV @ 30 mJ/cm² | 70 L/min | Puretec identifies 30 mJ/cm² as the industry-standard drinking-water UV dose in its G Series documentation. |
| UV @ 16 mJ/cm² | 130 L/min | Lower UV dose at a substantially higher UV-chamber flow. |
Because Puretec separately specifies the complete G12 as a 60 L/min maximum system, the higher UV-chamber figures should not be interpreted as increasing the complete G12 filtration system's maximum flow above its published 60 L/min rating. Final system sizing should consider both required flow and required UV dose.
Three filtration stages and the ultraviolet chamber are combined into one whole-house treatment assembly.
The Hybrid G Series incorporates a protective weather cover specifically intended for suitable outdoor installations.
An anti-tamper and childproof lockable lid protects the upper control and UV components while allowing servicing access.
The UV controller tracks lamp service life to help identify when the annual UV-lamp replacement is due.
The controller provides audible and visual failure indication to assist with monitoring UV operation.
Puretec uses a coated high-strength aluminium bracket and corrosion-resistant construction for demanding installations.

The ultraviolet stage works best when the incoming water allows sufficient UV light to pass through the chamber. Puretec publishes recommended maximum parameters where deposits on the quartz sleeve may otherwise occur.
| Water Parameter | Puretec Recommended Maximum |
|---|---|
| Iron | Less than 0.3 mg/L |
| Hydrogen Sulfide | Less than 0.05 mg/L |
| Suspended Solids | Less than 10 mg/L |
| Manganese | Less than 0.05 mg/L |
| Hardness | Less than 110 mg/L |
Water outside these parameters may require additional pre-treatment or more frequent quartz-sleeve maintenance. Puretec recommends checking UV transmittance where rainwater clarity is uncertain.
A 10-inch MaxiPlus washable pleated sediment cartridge rated at 5 micron.
A 10-inch MaxiPlus 5 micron carbon-block cartridge for chlorine, taste, odour and sediment reduction.
A 10-inch MaxiPlus graded polyspun sediment cartridge providing final nominal 1 micron filtration.
The Puretec Hybrid G12 uses an RL6 46W UV lamp and an RQS6 quartz sleeve.
The lamp provides the ultraviolet output, while the clear quartz sleeve isolates the lamp from the water and allows UV light to pass into the treatment chamber.
The sleeve should remain clean because mineral, iron, manganese and biological deposits can reduce UV transmission and treatment performance.
Puretec specifies the HR-G12R10 maintenance kit for Hybrid G12 and Hybrid R10 systems.
Puretec's current Hybrid Series user guide specifies replacing the three filter cartridges every 6 months.
The RL6 UV lamp must be replaced annually to maintain the manufacturer's specified microbiological performance. The lamp-life timer can then be reset for another 12-month operating period.
Puretec recommends checking the quartz sleeve approximately every 3 months, depending on water quality, and cleaning it where deposits have accumulated.
Puretec also recommends keeping the UV lamp operating continuously because repeated power fluctuations can shorten UV-lamp service life.
The Hybrid G12 is a substantial point-of-entry filtration and UV unit and requires suitable plumbing, structural mounting space and electrical power.
Yes. Unlike a cartridge-only whole-house filter, the Hybrid G12 includes an ultraviolet treatment stage and therefore requires electrical power for the RL6 UV lamp and electronic controller.
The original claim that the G12 operates without power is incorrect for the Hybrid G12. Filtration may remain physically connected during a power failure, but the UV treatment stage cannot operate normally without electricity.
The controller incorporates a lamp countdown timer and audible and visual failure alarms to help monitor UV-system status.
Yes. The Hybrid G Series was specifically designed with a weather protection cover for suitable outdoor installations.
Puretec also specifies anti-corrosion construction, a coated aluminium bracket, an anti-tamper and childproof lockable lid and a hinged cover for UV-lamp access.
The installation should still remain within Puretec's environmental requirements and be protected from freezing.
