Dual-stage whole-house UV water filter ensures clear, great-tasting rainwater for your home
The Puretec Hybrid-E9 UV filtration uses a robust dual-stage filtration process to prepare your rainwater before UV treatment. First, a washable 20-micron pre-filter captures larger particles, such as dirt, rust, and sediment, protecting the finer cartridge and extending its life. The second stage features a 1-micron filter, which removes finer matter, along with unpleasant tastes, odours, and discolouration. This two-step process is essential to allow an effective UV disinfection.
Puretec Hybrid E9 water filter: Chemical-free ultraviolet disinfection for safe drinking rainwater
After passing through the dual filters, your rainwater is treated with Radfire™ ultraviolet (UV) technology to provide an additional layer of protection. This robust, chemical-free process exposes the water to a precise wavelength of UV light that destroys up to 99.99% of harmful bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that can cause illness. Unlike chemical disinfectants, UV treatment doesn’t alter the water’s composition or leave any residual taste.

FAQ tab
Common problems and solutions with the Puretec Hybrid E9 UV Filtration
Why is my Puretec Hybrid-E9 water pressure low?
If your Puretec Hybrid E series is experiencing reduced flow or low pressure, the most common cause is clogged filter cartridges. The 20-micron pre-filter and 1-micron fine filter can become clogged with sediment over time. Cleaning the washable pre-filter and replacing cartridges when required restores normal pressure. Regular maintenance is essential for households with high sediment levels.
What does the UV alarm or flashing light mean on my Puretec Hybrid-E9?
The built-in UV lamp countdown timer and alarm will activate when the lamp is nearing the end of its life. Even if the light still glows, it may no longer deliver complete protection. Replace the UV lamp promptly to maintain 99.99% disinfection performance. Aqua Works recommends annual lamp replacement for reliable whole-house water safety.
Why is my UV water filter not killing bacteria properly?
For UV disinfection to work effectively, the water must be clear and low in turbidity. If sediment or cloudy water blocks the UV light, harmful microorganisms may not be fully neutralised. Ensure filters are maintained and cartridges replaced on schedule. In areas with heavy sediment, additional pre-filtration may be necessary to ensure your rainwater remains safe.
How often should I replace Puretec Hybrid-E9 filters and UV lamps?
Filter cartridges typically last 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage, while the UV lamp should be replaced every 12 months. Using genuine Puretec parts ensures system performance and protects your warranty. Aqua Works stocks replacement filters and UV lamps and can advise the best maintenance schedule for your household.
Why is my Puretec Hybrid-E9 leaking?
Leaks are typically caused by worn, misaligned, or improperly seated O-ring seals during cartridge changes. Always check the O-rings when servicing, lubricate them with food-grade silicone grease, and ensure the housing is closed securely. Dual O-ring seals on the Puretec Hybrid-E9 UV filtration are designed for extra protection, but they must be adequately maintained.
Can power surges affect my Puretec Hybrid-E9 UV system?
Yes, the UV ballast and electronic controller are sensitive to power fluctuations and surges. To avoid system faults, always connect your unit to a stable power source and consider using surge protection. This helps prevent unnecessary alarms or damage to the controller.
