FAQ Tab
Common problems and solutions with the Puretec Hybrid E13 UV Filtration
What does the UV alarm or beeping sound mean?
The controller of this UV water filtration system includes a countdown timer and alarm to remind you when the UV lamp is due for replacement. Even if the light still glows, its germicidal output fades with time. Replacing it every 12 months ensures your household remains protected from harmful microbes.
Why is the water pressure low with my Puretec Hybrid E13 UV filtration?
A drop in flow is typically associated with clogged cartridges. While the triple 20” filters handle large volumes, sediment or fine particles can eventually restrict pressure. Cleaning the pleated pre-filter and replacing the carbon and fine cartridges as needed restores flow. In areas with dirty water, servicing may be required more often.
Can power issues affect the Hybrid E13 UV controller?
Yes. The electronic controller and UV ballast are sensitive to voltage spikes or unstable supply. To prevent nuisance alarms or damage, connect the system to a steady power source and use a surge protector. This safeguards the controller and prolongs the life of your unit.
Why might the UV not disinfect my water properly?
UV protection relies on water clarity. If sediment, discolouration, or tannins block the light, the UV can’t thoroughly neutralise microbes. Replacing cartridges on schedule helps maintain clarity. In households with a very turbid tank or bore water, adding extra pre-filtration may be necessary for consistent UV performance.
What if my Hybrid E13 starts leaking?
Leaks usually happen when O-rings are misaligned, dry, or damaged during maintenance. The Hybrid E13 is equipped with dual O-ring seals for added leak protection, but they still need care. Inspect them regularly, lubricate with food-grade silicone grease, and ensure housings are tightened correctly.
How often should filters and UV lamps be replaced for the Puretec Hybrid E series?
The cartridge lifespan depends on water quality and usage, typically ranging between 6 and 12 months. The UV lamp should be replaced every 12 months, even if it’s still glowing, as output fades over time. Using genuine Puretec filters and lamps helps maintain system performance and warranty coverage. Aqua Works stocks all the correct parts and can tailor a maintenance schedule for your home.
