The Puretec Hybrid G6 is a whole-house dual-stage filtration and ultraviolet water-treatment system designed primarily for rainwater. Instead of filtering only one kitchen tap, the Hybrid G6 is installed on the property's main water line so treated water can be supplied throughout the home.
The current HYBRID-G6-LF combines a PL05MP1 5 micron washable sediment cartridge with a DP10MP1 10 micron dual-purpose carbon cartridge, followed by Puretec Radfire ultraviolet treatment using an RL6 46W UV lamp and RQS6 quartz sleeve.
Puretec publishes a headline maximum flow of 75 litres per minute for the Hybrid G6, with 1-inch BSP connections, weather protection for suitable outdoor installation and electronic monitoring of the UV lamp.
The Hybrid G6 treats incoming water before it is distributed through the property's plumbing network. Water first passes through two dedicated filtration cartridges and then through Puretec's stainless-steel Radfire ultraviolet chamber.
The first stage reduces silt, sludge, dirt, rust and other sediment. The second stage combines additional sediment filtration with carbon treatment to reduce chlorine taste, unpleasant taste and odour.
The filtered water then passes through the ultraviolet system. Puretec's current product information states that Radfire UV treatment can reduce up to 99.99% of E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts when the equipment is correctly installed, maintained and operated within the required water-quality and flow conditions.
No. The Hybrid G6 is not a compact under-sink drinking-water filter and it does not simply connect to an existing kitchen mixer.
It is a substantial whole-house point-of-entry filtration and UV system containing two 10-inch MaxiPlus filtration housings, a UV chamber, electronic ballast and weather-protected enclosure.
The unit treats the main water supply so multiple taps, showers and other downstream outlets can receive filtered and UV-treated water.
The compact 10-inch cartridge format makes the G6 particularly relevant where whole-house filtration and UV are required without moving to the larger 20-inch Hybrid models.
Puretec specifically designs its Hybrid UV systems around common rainwater applications and also lists the G6 for suitable mains-water supplies.
The G6 combines physical filtration, carbon treatment and ultraviolet disinfection rather than relying on filter cartridges alone.
The PL05MP1 washable pleated cartridge provides 5 micron sediment filtration before water reaches the second treatment stage.
The DP10MP1 dual-purpose carbon cartridge reduces sediment together with chlorine taste, unwanted taste and odour.
The final Radfire ultraviolet stage provides chemical-free treatment against microorganisms including E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts under suitable operating conditions.
*Puretec specifies 3 years parts, including parts and labour for the first year where applicable, followed by a further 2 years parts only. Consumables are excluded.
You need whole-house rainwater filtration with sediment reduction, carbon treatment and ultraviolet treatment in one weather-protected system.
You only need under-sink drinking-water filtration, need more cartridge capacity, require treatment for dissolved salts or hardness, or need a system with an integrated pressure pump.
Confirm water quality, required peak flow, UV dose, available pressure, existing pump performance, electrical supply, installation space and whether extra pre-treatment is required.
A washable 5 micron pleated sediment cartridge reduces silt, sludge, dirt, rust and suspended particles.
A 10 micron dual-purpose carbon cartridge provides sediment filtration together with chlorine taste, unwanted taste and odour reduction.
Filtered water passes through the UV chamber where ultraviolet light provides chemical-free microbiological treatment.
Puretec's Radfire ultraviolet system treats water without adding disinfection chemicals. The manufacturer states that the Hybrid G6 is highly effective against microorganisms including E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts.
UV performance depends on the clarity of the water. Suspended solids, iron, manganese, hardness and other substances can reduce UV transmission or cause deposits on the quartz sleeve.
Puretec recommends a UV transmittance test where the clarity of the source water is uncertain so additional pre-filtration can be identified before relying on the UV stage.
Puretec publishes a 75 L/min headline maximum flow for the Hybrid G6. It also publishes separate UV performance figures because the ultraviolet dose changes with flow rate.
| Published Rating | Flow Rate | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| G6 Headline Maximum | 75 L/min | Puretec's published maximum-flow figure for the complete Hybrid G6. |
| UV Dose 40 mJ/cm² | 54 L/min | Higher UV dose at a lower flow rate. |
| UV Dose 30 mJ/cm² | 70 L/min | Puretec identifies 30 mJ/cm² as the industry-standard UV dose for drinking water. |
| UV Dose 16 mJ/cm² | 130 L/min | Published UV-chamber performance at the lower 16 mJ/cm² dose. |
The complete Hybrid G6 remains published as a 75 L/min maximum system. System sizing should therefore consider both the complete system rating and the UV dose required for the intended application.
Combines sediment filtration, carbon treatment and ultraviolet treatment in one whole-house water-treatment unit.
The G6 uses 10-inch MaxiPlus cartridges, giving it a more compact footprint than the larger 20-inch G7.
The Hybrid G Series incorporates a weather cover designed for suitable outdoor installations.
A childproof and anti-tamper lockable lid protects internal components while providing hinged access for servicing.
The electronic controller monitors UV lamp life and includes audible and visible failure warnings.
Puretec uses a high-strength lightweight aluminium bracket with protective coating for durability in demanding environments.

Effective ultraviolet treatment requires sufficiently clear water. Puretec publishes recommended maximum levels for several water-quality parameters because excessive levels can cause deposits on the quartz sleeve and reduce UV transmission.
| 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 treatment or more frequent maintenance. Puretec recommends confirming UV transmittance where source-water clarity is uncertain.
The Puretec PL05MP1 is a 4.5-inch × 10-inch washable pleated sediment cartridge rated at 5 micron. It is designed for sediment including sand, rust and debris and has a large pleated surface area for dirt-holding capacity.
The Puretec DP10MP1 is a 4.5-inch × 10-inch carbon-impregnated dual-purpose cartridge rated at 10 micron. It provides sediment filtration together with chlorine taste, unwanted taste and odour reduction.
The Hybrid G6 uses the Puretec RL6 46W ultraviolet lamp and Puretec RQS6 quartz sleeve.
The clear quartz sleeve separates the UV lamp from the water while allowing ultraviolet light to pass into the treatment chamber. Keeping this sleeve clean is important because deposits can reduce UV transmission.
Puretec specifies a rated UV-lamp life of 365 days.
Puretec specifies the HR-G6R1 maintenance kit for Hybrid G6 and Hybrid R1 systems.
Puretec's Hybrid Series installation and operation manual specifies replacement of the PL05MP1 and DP10MP1 cartridges every 6 months.
The RL6 UV lamp must be replaced annually. Puretec gives the UV lamp a rated life of 365 days and provides a countdown timer and alarm to help identify when replacement is due.
The quartz sleeve should be checked approximately every 3 months, depending on source-water quality, and cleaned where deposits have accumulated.
The Hybrid G6 is a point-of-entry filtration and UV system requiring appropriate plumbing, structural support and electrical power.
Puretec states that the water-treatment appliance should be installed by a fully qualified and licensed plumber. Electrical requirements must also comply with applicable regulations.
Yes. The Hybrid G6 contains a powered ultraviolet treatment system and requires an AC 240V / 50Hz electrical supply.
The original claim that the G6 operates without electricity does not apply to the Hybrid G6. Without power, the ultraviolet lamp and electronic controller cannot operate normally.
Puretec supplies surge protection with the Hybrid system and recommends protecting the electrical equipment against power surges and brown-outs.
The Hybrid G6 is approximately 670mm wide × 700mm high × 211mm deep.
Additional servicing room is required. Puretec's installation guide requires sufficient clearance above the system for removal of the UV lamp and quartz sleeve and approximately 120mm below the filter housings for cartridge servicing.
The installation location should also allow the cover to open and provide suitable access to isolation valves, pipework and electrical equipment.
Yes. Puretec specifically equips the Hybrid G Series with a weather-protection cover for suitable outdoor installations.
