Dual-stage filtration and UV water treatment for whole house protection
This whole-house water filter system combines three powerful treatment stages to deliver clean, safe drinking water to every tap.
First, a pleated 5-micron sediment filter acts as a physical barrier, removing fine particles often found in rainwater tanks or bore water. By filtering out suspended solids, it helps protect downstream components and improves overall water clarity. Next, a carbon block cartridge uses activated carbon to absorb chlorine and organic compounds. This not only improves the taste and smell of the water but also reduces chemical residues often present in mains water. Finally, the system features Radfire™ ultraviolet (UV) technology, which exposes the water to a precise wavelength of UV light that destroys bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. Unlike chemical disinfectants, UV treatment doesn't alter the water's composition or leave any residual taste—just clean, pure water.
Easy indoor installation with reversible brackets: Hybrid R Series
This water filtration system is designed for flexible indoor installation, making it easy to integrate into various home setups. Its compact footprint fits neatly into garages, laundry rooms, or other sheltered indoor spaces, protecting the system from weather damage. The reversible aluminium mounting bracket allows for quick and adaptable wall mounting, whether you're retrofitting an existing system or setting up a new one—making installation straightforward and maintenance hassle-free.
Hybrid R1 UV Filtration: What It Removes and Why It Matters
The three-stage filtration in the Puretec Hybrid R Series offers comprehensive protection against physical, chemical, and biological contaminants:
-
The sediment filter captures visible particles such as dirt, grit, rust, pollen, and algae fragments—common culprits that cloud water and can damage plumbing, appliances, and fixtures.
-
The carbon block filter reduces chlorine, chloramines, herbicides, pesticides, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and unpleasant tastes or odours. This is especially beneficial for households connected to chlorinated mains water or located near agricultural areas.
-
The UV disinfection stage neutralises up to 99.9% of harmful microorganisms, including E. coli, Giardia, and Cryptosporidium—pathogens often found in untreated tank or bore water. This chemical-free process ensures your family is protected from waterborne illnesses without altering the taste or quality of your water.

Cons of the Puretec Hybrid R-1 UV Filtration
Indoor installation only – limitations of the Puretec Hybrid R series
This system isn’t weatherproof, so it must be installed out of the sun and rain. It doesn’t come with a cover built in. We typically house these UV units and pumps inside a custom plywood box for protection.
Hybrid R1 UV Filtration systems needs clear water to perform
Like any UV light water filter, the R1 needs low-turbidity water to work properly. If the water’s dirty, the filters may block quickly or the UV won’t be effective. In those cases, we can add pre-filtration to improve clarity and extend cartridge life.
Not designed for high flow or large households – Hybrid R1 for small to medium homes
This model is best for moderate demand. For larger homes or higher flow rates, we recommend one of our bigger UV systems, which are better suited to those requirements.
