The Puretec Hybrid G13 is a premium whole-house filtration and ultraviolet treatment system designed to provide filtered and UV-treated water throughout a property. Rather than being a small inline drinking-water filter, the Hybrid G13 is installed on the main water line and combines three large 20-inch filtration stages with Puretec ultraviolet technology in one weather-protected system.
The current HYBRID-G13-LF uses a PL05MP2 5 micron sediment cartridge, a CB05MP2 5 micron carbon block cartridge and a PX01MP2 1 micron fine sediment cartridge, followed by an RL6 46W UV lamp. Puretec designs the G13 primarily for rainwater while also listing it for mains-water applications.
Installed Today offers the Puretec Hybrid G13 as a supply-only whole-house filtration system, with supplied-and-installed options available across eligible Brisbane and Gold Coast service areas.
The Hybrid G13 treats water before it is distributed throughout the property. Water first passes through three dedicated filtration cartridges before entering the ultraviolet chamber.
The filtration stages reduce sediment, dirt, rust, chlorine, unwanted taste and odour. The final UV stage then exposes the filtered water to ultraviolet light without adding treatment chemicals.
Puretec states that its Hybrid G13 UV technology is highly effective against microorganisms including E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts when the system is operated within its specified conditions.
The G13 uses large 20-inch MaxiPlus cartridges and is designed for higher-demand whole-house applications.
Puretec specifically designs the Hybrid G Series for rainwater systems where filtration and UV treatment are required before household distribution.
The system treats the main water supply rather than a single drinking-water outlet, giving downstream taps access to filtered and UV-treated water.
The first and third filtration stages reduce sediment, dirt, rust, sand, silt, algae and other suspended particles.
The CB05MP2 activated carbon block cartridge is designed to reduce chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.
The UV stage provides chemical-free ultraviolet treatment for microorganisms including E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts under suitable operating conditions.
*Puretec specifies 1 year parts and labour plus a further 2 years parts only. Consumable cartridges, UV lamps and other consumables are subject to the manufacturer's warranty conditions.
You want whole-house filtration and ultraviolet treatment in one weather-protected unit for a rainwater or suitable mains-water supply.
You only need drinking-water filtration at one kitchen tap, need an integrated pump, or require specialised treatment for hardness, salinity, fluoride or other contaminants not targeted by the standard G13 configuration.
Confirm water quality, UV transmittance where required, household flow demand, available pressure, electrical supply, installation location and whether a separate pressure pump is required.
No. The Hybrid G13 is a whole-house point-of-entry filtration and UV system. It is not a small under-sink carbon filter and it does not connect directly to a single existing kitchen mixer as its primary application.
The G13 is installed on the main water line so filtered and UV-treated water can be supplied to downstream outlets throughout the property.
This makes it substantially different from Puretec's under-sink drinking-water systems, which treat only a dedicated kitchen outlet or mixer connection.
The Hybrid G13 uses three filtration stages followed by ultraviolet treatment.
The PL05MP2 5 micron pleated sediment cartridge reduces larger suspended particles before the water reaches the carbon stage.
The CB05MP2 5 micron carbon block cartridge reduces chlorine, unpleasant taste, odour and additional sediment.
The PX01MP2 graded polyspun cartridge provides final nominal 1 micron sediment filtration.
The RL6 46W UV lamp treats the filtered water using ultraviolet light before it enters the property's plumbing system.
Puretec's Hybrid G13 uses ultraviolet treatment as a chemical-free microbiological treatment process. Puretec states that the system can achieve up to 99.9% reduction of E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts under appropriate water-quality and operating conditions.
UV performance depends on the clarity and UV transmittance of the incoming water. Sediment, dissolved iron, manganese, hardness and other water-quality factors can reduce the effectiveness of ultraviolet treatment if they are outside suitable limits.
Puretec specifically notes that where the clarity of rainwater is uncertain, a UV transmittance test may be required to establish whether additional pre-treatment is necessary.
Puretec publishes several flow figures for the Hybrid G13 because UV effectiveness depends on the ultraviolet dose delivered at a particular flow rate.
| UV Dose | Published Flow Rate | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 40 mJ/cm² | 54 L/min | Higher UV dose at a lower flow rate. |
| 30 mJ/cm² | 70 L/min | Puretec identifies 30 mJ/cm² as the industry-standard UV dose for drinking water in its G Series documentation. |
| 16 mJ/cm² | 130 L/min | Lower UV dose at a higher flow rate. |
| G13 Headline Rating | 120 L/min | Puretec's product literature also describes the G13 as the 20-inch Hybrid model with a maximum headline flow rating of 120 L/min. |
System sizing should be based on the required UV dose and actual household flow rather than relying on the headline maximum-flow figure alone.
Combines three 20-inch filtration stages and ultraviolet treatment into one whole-house system.
The Hybrid G Series incorporates a weather cover and anti-corrosion construction for suitable outdoor installations.
An anti-tamper and childproof lockable lid helps protect the UV and filtration components from unauthorised access.
The system includes a lamp countdown function to help track UV-lamp replacement timing.
The UV controller provides audible and visual status alerts to indicate operating faults.
Puretec uses a durable aluminium mounting bracket designed for long-term outdoor filtration installations.

The Hybrid G13 uses the Puretec RL6 46W ultraviolet lamp together with the Puretec RQS6 quartz sleeve.
The quartz sleeve separates the UV lamp from the water and must remain sufficiently clean for ultraviolet light to pass through effectively.
Mineral, iron or biological deposits can accumulate on the quartz sleeve over time, particularly where the incoming water quality is outside Puretec's recommended parameters.
Puretec specifies the HR-G13R11P maintenance kit for the Hybrid G13.
Puretec's Hybrid Series operating guide specifies replacing the filter cartridges every 6 months to maintain water quality and filtration performance.
The UV lamp must be replaced annually to maintain the manufacturer's specified microbiological performance. UV output gradually decreases with lamp age even when the lamp still appears to be illuminated.
The quartz sleeve should also be inspected and cleaned as required, with replacement where damaged, permanently stained or included as part of the scheduled maintenance kit.
The G13 is a whole-house point-of-entry system and requires appropriate plumbing, mounting and electrical provision.
The G13 is approximately 760mm high, 866mm wide and 211mm deep.
Puretec's Hybrid installation documentation also shows the need for generous servicing clearance, including approximately 700mm clearance for lamp access and at least approximately 120mm clearance from the ground for the G13 installation arrangement.
These service clearances are important because the cartridges, UV lamp and quartz sleeve need to remain accessible throughout the life of the system.
Yes. One of the defining features of the Hybrid G Series is its weather protection cover, anti-corrosion construction and lockable protective lid for suitable outdoor installations.
The system is designed for harsh climatic conditions, but installation location still needs to follow Puretec's requirements, including protection from freezing and avoiding conditions outside the product's specified environmental limits.
Yes. The Hybrid G13 contains an ultraviolet treatment system and therefore requires electrical power for the UV lamp and controller.
The original claim that the G13 operates with no power is not applicable to this model. If electrical power is lost, the UV treatment stage is no longer operating normally even though water may still be present in the plumbing system.
The audible and visible system alarms help provide operating-status information for the UV system.
