The Puretec Hybrid P3 is an integrated rainwater filtration and pressure system combining three large-format filter cartridges, Radfire™ ultraviolet treatment and a Grundfos pressure pump inside Puretec's lockable HybridPlus cabinet.
The current HYBRID-P3-LF uses a PL05MP2 5 micron pleated sediment cartridge, CB05MP2 5 micron carbon block and PX01MP2 1 micron sediment cartridge before the water passes through the RL6 ultraviolet treatment stage.
Puretec pairs the filtration and UV equipment with a Grundfos CMB-SP 3-47 pump rated at 0.5 kW and PM2 pressure controller. The P3 is designed specifically around rainwater applications, with other water sources subject to their actual water quality and treatment requirements.
The PL05MP2 washable 5 micron pleated cartridge reduces dirt, rust, sand, silt and suspended particulate material.
The CB05MP2 bonded carbon block reduces chlorine, sediment and unwanted taste and odour.
The PX01MP2 1 micron graded polypropylene cartridge provides finer particulate filtration before UV treatment.
The RL6 ultraviolet stage provides manufacturer-rated microbiological treatment when the required UV dose, flow and source-water conditions are maintained.
The integrated CMB-SP 3-47 pressure pump supplies water from a compatible tank-water arrangement.
Puretec pairs the pump with a PM2 pressure controller as part of the P3 system.
The Hybrid P3 differs from a standard whole-house filter because the filtration housings, UV treatment, pressure pump and associated equipment are integrated inside Puretec's HybridPlus enclosure.
Puretec describes the cabinet as weatherproof, rodent-proof and tamper-resistant, with lockable gull-wing access doors, concealed ventilation and adjustable feet.
The unit can be positioned against a suitable wall, fence or tank, or installed freestanding where the plumbing, electrical supply, base and service access meet the installation requirements.
The first stage uses Puretec's PL05MP2, a washable 4.5" × 20" MaxiPlus sediment cartridge.
It is manufactured from non-woven reusable polyester media pleated around a polypropylene support core.
The second filtration stage uses the Puretec CB05MP2, a bonded activated-carbon block cartridge measuring approximately 4.5" × 20".
Puretec lists this cartridge for reduction of chlorine, unwanted taste, odour and sediment.
The CB05MP2 carries a nominal 5 micron rating.
Puretec lists the individual CB05MP2 cartridge at 48 L/min. This is a cartridge specification rather than the P3 pump rating.
The bonded carbon media provides chlorine reduction within the cartridge's operating conditions.
Designed to reduce unwanted taste and odour associated with compatible water supplies.
The cartridge uses bonded activated carbon rather than loose granular carbon media.
Puretec incorporates SilverPlus technology to inhibit bacterial growth within the filter media.
The final cartridge stage uses Puretec's PX01MP2, a 1 micron 4.5" × 20" graded polyspun sediment cartridge.
Puretec lists the PX01MP2 for reduction of dirt, rust, sand, silt, algae and other suspended material.
This fine filtration stage is positioned before the UV chamber because suspended material can reduce UV transmission and interfere with effective ultraviolet treatment.
The Hybrid P3 uses the Puretec RL6 46W UV lamp together with the RQS6 quartz sleeve.
Puretec lists its HybridPlus UV system for up to 99.9% treatment of E. coli, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts when operated within the applicable source-water, UV-dose and flow conditions.
| 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 current Hybrid P3 uses a Grundfos CMB-SP 3-47 pressure pump rated at 0.5 kW.
Puretec lists the pump flow rate at 50 litres per minute and self-priming capability of up to 4 metres.
The pump is paired with Puretec's listed PM2 pressure controller.
Puretec's current P3 specification lists the mains-to-rainwater controller as not included.
The P3 should therefore not be advertised as automatically switching between tank water and mains water in its standard configuration.
Puretec describes the P3 as designed specifically for rainwater. Other water supplies may be suitable depending on their quality and the overall installation design.
Lockable side-opening doors provide service access to filtration, UV and pump components.
Puretec describes the HybridPlus cabinet as weatherproof for suitable installations.
The enclosed cabinet is designed to help protect internal components from rodent access.
Lockable doors help restrict unauthorised access to the system.
Concealed ventilation provides airflow and heat dissipation around the pump and electrical equipment.
Adjustable feet help achieve a stable finished installation on a suitable supporting base.
Puretec's HybridPlus guidance identifies maximum recommended water characteristics intended to support ultraviolet treatment and reduce quartz-sleeve fouling.
| Water Characteristic | Puretec Recommended Maximum |
|---|---|
| Iron | Less than 0.3 mg/L |
| Hydrogen Sulphide | 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 |
Where source water exceeds the recommended conditions, additional pre-treatment may be required before the Hybrid P3.

Puretec may describe the HybridPlus package as plug-and-play because the major components are already integrated into the cabinet, but the P3 remains a permanent whole-house water-treatment, pump and electrical installation.
Puretec's installation guidance states that the water-filtering appliance should be installed by a fully qualified and licensed plumber, with qualified tradespeople completing the applicable installation work.
Puretec's HybridPlus design allows the water-flow connection arrangement to be configured from the left or right-hand side of the cabinet for suitable installations.
This can help position the cabinet neatly against a wall, fence or tank while maintaining practical plumbing and service access.
Puretec specifies cartridge replacement approximately every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage.
Puretec specifies annual lamp replacement to maintain the intended UV treatment performance.
Puretec recommends checking the quartz sleeve approximately every 3 months, depending on source-water quality.
Inspect accessible bowls, seals and O-rings during servicing and replace damaged components where required.
Check accessible pump, controller and plumbing components for leaks, deterioration or abnormal operation.
Keep the ventilation and service-access areas clear so the internal equipment can be maintained properly.
Puretec lists the HR-G13R11P maintenance kit for all Hybrid P Series systems, including the Hybrid P3.

The filtration and UV platform is shared; the main difference is the integrated pump configuration. Select the system around the site's actual hydraulic requirements.
Puretec currently lists the Hybrid P3 with a 3-year system warranty.
The integrated Grundfos pump is excluded from Puretec's standard Hybrid system warranty and is listed with Grundfos's own 2-year back-to-base warranty.
Order the Puretec Hybrid P3 for delivery to supported Australian locations where you already have appropriately qualified tradespeople and a suitable installation arrangement.

The P3 is matched to the CMB-SP 3-47 0.5 kW pump and is correctly identified as having no standard mains-to-rainwater controller.
Installed Today can also support eligible local installations where the rainwater source, water quality, plumbing, electrical supply and cabinet location are suitable.
The Puretec Hybrid P3 is designed for rainwater applications requiring an integrated package containing three 20-inch filtration stages, Radfire™ UV treatment and a 0.5 kW Grundfos pressure pump.
The current HYBRID-P3-LF uses PL05MP2, CB05MP2 and PX01MP2 cartridges, an RL6 UV lamp and RQS6 quartz sleeve. Puretec lists the CMB-SP 3-47 pump at 50 L/min, with UV flow ratings of 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, required UV dose, household flow demand, 25 mm plumbing, electrical supply and cabinet position. The standard P3 does not include automatic mains-to-rainwater changeover, so any required mains backup should be planned separately. Ongoing servicing includes 6–12 month cartridge replacement, annual UV lamp replacement and regular quartz-sleeve inspection.
