The Puretec Hybrid P1 combines three large-format filtration stages and Radfire™ ultraviolet treatment inside Puretec's lockable HybridPlus cabinet, while leaving provision for a compatible pressure pump to be installed separately.
The current HYBRID-P1-LF uses a PL05MP2 5 micron pleated sediment cartridge, CB05MP2 5 micron carbon block and PX01MP2 1 micron fine sediment cartridge before water passes through the RL6 ultraviolet stage.
Unlike the Hybrid P3 and P6, the P1 does not include a Grundfos pump. Puretec specifically positions it as a pump-provision model for installations where a compatible existing or separately selected pressure system will be used.
The PL05MP2 washable 5 micron pleated cartridge reduces dirt, rust, sand, silt and suspended particulate material.
The CB05MP2 5 micron carbon block reduces chlorine, sediment and unwanted taste and odour.
The PX01MP2 1 micron graded polypropylene cartridge provides fine filtration before the UV chamber.
The RL6 ultraviolet system provides manufacturer-rated microbiological treatment where source-water quality, flow and UV-dose requirements are maintained.
The cabinet includes space for a compatible pressure pump, but no pump is supplied with the standard P1.
Puretec allows the water-flow connection arrangement to be configured from the left or right side of the cabinet.
The defining feature of the Hybrid P1 is that Puretec supplies the filtration and UV package without an integrated Grundfos pump.
This makes the P1 suitable where a compatible pressure pump already exists or where the pump needs to be selected separately around the tank, suction conditions and property demand.
Puretec lists a maximum available pump space of approximately 560 mm high × 540 mm wide × 240 mm deep inside the P1 cabinet.
The first filtration stage uses Puretec's PL05MP2, a washable 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus sediment cartridge.
Puretec manufactures the cartridge from reusable non-woven polyester fabric pleated around a polypropylene support core.
The second stage uses the Puretec CB05MP2, a bonded activated-carbon block cartridge measuring approximately 4.5" × 20".
Puretec lists the cartridge for reduction of chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.
Puretec lists a nominal 5 micron filtration rating.
The individual CB05MP2 is listed at 48 L/min. This is a cartridge rating and should not be confused with the system or UV flow figures.
The bonded carbon media provides chlorine reduction within its rated operating conditions.
Designed to reduce unwanted taste and odour associated with compatible water supplies.
The cartridge uses a bonded activated-carbon structure rather than loose granular media.
Puretec incorporates SilverPlus technology to inhibit bacterial growth within the cartridge media.
The final cartridge stage uses Puretec's PX01MP2, a nominal 1 micron, 4.5" × 20" graded polyspun sediment cartridge.
Puretec lists the cartridge for reduction of dirt, rust, sand, silt, algae and other suspended particles.
The PX01MP2 is positioned before the ultraviolet stage because fine particulate matter can interfere with UV transmission by shielding microorganisms from the UV light.
The Hybrid P1 finishes its water-treatment process with Puretec's RL6 46W ultraviolet lamp inside the Radfire™ chamber.
Puretec lists the Hybrid P1 for up to 99.99% treatment of E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts using Radfire™ ultraviolet technology where the applicable source-water, flow and UV-dose conditions are maintained.
| UV Dose | Puretec Listed Flow | Application Note |
|---|---|---|
| 40 mJ/cm² | 54 L/min | Higher UV dose at a lower flow rate |
| 30 mJ/cm² | 70 L/min | Puretec identifies this as the industry-standard drinking-water UV reference |
| 16 mJ/cm² | 130 L/min | Lower UV dose at a higher flow rate |
The Hybrid P1 does not include a Grundfos pump or a listed pump flow rate.
A suitable existing or separately selected pressure system therefore needs to provide the water pressure required for the installation.
Puretec's current P1 specification states that the mains-to-rainwater controller is not included.
The standard Hybrid P1 should therefore not be advertised as automatically switching between rainwater and mains water.
Puretec currently describes the Hybrid P1 as designed specifically for rainwater applications.
Puretec also states that the HybridPlus platform may be suitable for other water sources depending on actual water quality.
Other sources should therefore be assessed rather than automatically treating the P1 as universally suitable for mains, bore, dam or surface water.
Lockable side-opening doors provide access to cartridges, UV components and the pump-provision space.
Puretec describes the HybridPlus cabinet as weatherproof for appropriate installations.
The enclosed design is intended to help protect internal system components.
A locking arrangement helps restrict unauthorised access to internal equipment.
Ventilation is incorporated to assist airflow and heat dissipation around the equipment.
Adjustable feet help achieve a stable finished installation on a suitable supporting base.
Puretec's HybridPlus connection arrangement allows water flow to be connected from either the left or right-hand side of the cabinet.
This gives the installer more flexibility when positioning the P1 against a tank, fence or wall while maintaining practical pipework and future service access.

Puretec states that Hybrid UV systems are designed for common rainwater and that ultraviolet effectiveness depends on the clarity of the water.
Where water contains unusually high levels of dissolved solids, hardness, iron, manganese or suspended material, deposits can build on the quartz sleeve and reduce UV transmission.
The term "plug-and-play" describes the way Puretec packages the filters, UV equipment and pump provision inside one cabinet. It does not remove the need for permanent plumbing and electrical installation.
Puretec specifies replacement approximately every 6–12 months, depending on source-water quality and usage.
The RL6 ultraviolet lamp should be replaced annually to maintain the intended UV treatment performance.
Puretec recommends checking the quartz sleeve approximately every 3 months, depending on source-water quality, and cleaning or replacing it where required.
Inspect accessible filter-bowl O-rings and sealing surfaces whenever the housings are opened.
The Hybrid UV controller incorporates lamp-status monitoring and an audible warning function for lamp-related servicing.
Any separately installed pump and pressure components should be serviced according to their own manufacturer requirements.
Puretec lists the HR-G13R11P maintenance kit for all Hybrid P Series systems, including the Hybrid P1.
The manufacturer-listed kit includes:
| Feature | Hybrid P1 | Hybrid P3 |
|---|---|---|
| Filtration | PL05MP2 + CB05MP2 + PX01MP2 | PL05MP2 + CB05MP2 + PX01MP2 |
| UV | RL6 / RQS6 | RL6 / RQS6 |
| Pump | Not included | Grundfos CMB-SP 3-47 |
| Pump Power | Not applicable | 0.5 kW |
| Pump Flow | Depends on separately selected pump | 50 L/min |
| Mains/Rain Controller | Not included | Not included |
| Connection | 1" / 25 mm | 1" / 25 mm |
The filtration and UV platform is shared. The main difference is that the P3 includes Puretec's specified Grundfos pressure pump while the P1 leaves the pump selection to the installation.
Puretec currently lists the Hybrid P1 with a 3-year system warranty.
Because the standard P1 does not include a pump, any separately selected pump remains subject to that pump manufacturer's own warranty terms.
Order the Puretec Hybrid P1 for delivery to supported Australian locations where you already have appropriately qualified tradespeople and a suitable pressure-system plan.
The genuine Puretec HR-G13R11P maintenance kit contains the filtration, UV and sealing components listed for servicing Hybrid P Series systems.

The packaged cabinet simplifies the equipment layout, but the P1 is a permanent whole-house plumbing and electrical installation. Installation should follow Puretec's current instructions and be completed by appropriately qualified tradespeople.
Purchase the Hybrid P1 without installation where you already have an appropriate pump arrangement and qualified tradespeople.
The P1 is correctly identified as the HybridPlus pump-provision model without a standard Grundfos pump or mains/rain changeover controller.
Installed Today can also support eligible local installations where the rainwater source, pressure system, water quality, plumbing, electrical supply and cabinet position are suitable.
The Puretec Hybrid P1 is designed for rainwater applications where three-stage 20-inch filtration and Radfire™ UV treatment are required but the pressure pump needs to be retained or selected separately.
The current HYBRID-P1-LF uses PL05MP2, CB05MP2 and PX01MP2 cartridges together with the RL6 UV lamp and RQS6 quartz sleeve. Puretec advertises the P1 at 120 L/min, while its UV system is rated at 54 L/min at 40 mJ/cm², 70 L/min at 30 mJ/cm² and 130 L/min at 16 mJ/cm².
Before ordering, confirm the rainwater source, source-water quality, pressure-pump arrangement, required UV dose, 25 mm plumbing, electrical supply and available cabinet space. The standard P1 does not include a pump or mains-to-rainwater controller, and ongoing servicing includes 6–12 month cartridge replacement, annual UV lamp replacement and regular quartz-sleeve inspection.
