HYBRID-R TRIPLE SERIES | Triple Filtration & Ultraviolet Disinfection All in One Unit
Puretec Customer Service
Thank you for purchasing a Puretec Hybrid-R Triple Series whole house UV water
treatment system. Your system is a proven performer manufactured from quality
materials and components and will give years of ‘spring like’ water, free of impurities, if
maintained and installed properly (refer installation requirements p.6)
Introduction
Puretec Hybrid-R Triple Series is specically designed to kill harmful bacteria in
untreated water supplies. It uses a natural purication process that’s eco-friendly and
chemical-free. It includes pre-ltration to ensure that particulate matter does not shield
micro-organisms from the UV light.
This system will eectively treat water, depending on the required UV dosage and
existing water quality.
The system is designed for mains and rainwater supply but can be used in other
situations. For other types of water supply please contact your local Puretec stockist or
call our Puretec Customer Service Helpline at 1300 140 140 (Australia) or
0800 130 140 (New Zealand).
The Puretec Hybrid-R Triple system cartridges and lamp needs replacing regularly to
maintain optimum performance. This is a simple procedure when following instructions.
For replacements contact your nearest Puretec stockist.
Your new Hybrid-R Triple system incorporates a failure warning feature that warns you
of a lamp failure by :
1. A LED warning light
2. An audible alarm
In addition, when the alarm “beeps” on and o, the lamp is due to be changed so
eective treatment is maintained. A Green LED indicates that the system is operating
correctly.

Installation Guide
Positioning your System
Choose a location with a structurally appropriate mounting position. Allow a chamber
length space above the unit for removal of the lamp and sleeve from the Radre UV
system during servicing and 120mm below the housings for replacing the cartridges and
maintenance.
An isolation valve may be installed prior to the Hybrid-R Triple system to isolate the unit
for changing the cartridges, lamps and sleeve.
To protect your Hybrid-R Triple system make sure the site is frost free and has adequate
ventilation. Choose a location with adequate drainage and where water spillage will not
cause damage that may occur over time from leaking pipe joints or seals.
Power Surge Protection
An electrical power surge or spike can travel on the supply lines and cause serious
damage to your electrical equipment. The Radre UV Electronic ballast has a fuse (not
replaceable) to protect the circuit. The fuse is not a lightning arrestor and may not
protect the Radre if lightning or a very powerful surge hits the unit.
A suitable surge protection device should be used on all electrical equipment or warranty
may be voided.
Do not use long extension leads as they may cause substantial voltage drop and/or poor
lamp performance.
We recommend the use of an RCD or earth leakage circuit breaker on the power
supply to your unit.

Installation Requirements
• This unit is intended for indoor installation (must be protected from weather, frost,
water and have adequate ventilation).
• Cold water line only.
• Power supply: AC 240V | 50Hz
• Supply pressure: 300-875 kPa. Install pressure limiting valve if pressure exceeds
500 kPa.
Note: For point of entry installations an approved dual check backow
prevention device must be installed.
• Supply temperature 3° - 52°C.
• Alternative ttings may be required if being connected to anything other than
25mm threads.
Note: Only use thread seal tape. Do not use liquid sealant
• Ensure the water supply ow rate does not exceed the rated maximum of the
Hybrid system.
• Ensure the electrical power supply to the Hybrid system is sucient, allowing for
other appliances that may be connected to the circuit eg pump, and ensuring it is
surge protected, and protected against brown-outs. If in doubt, please consult a
qualied electrician.
• Use unions at pipe connections to enable easy removal and servicing. Use sucient
tape to ensure airtight seal and do not over tighten. To prevent strain on the unit
always support heavy inlet and outlet pipes.
• Where the water being treated contains unusually high levels of dissolved solids
particularly hard water, iron, manganese or biological organisms, a deposit build up
on the quartz sleeve may occur over time. Maximum recommended parameters are
as follows:
Iron less than 0.3 mg/L
Hydrogen Sulde less than 0.05 mg/L
Suspended Solids less than 10mg/L
Manganese less than 0.05 mg/L
Hardness less than 110mg/L

Application warning: minimum water characteristics must be met before
installation of Radre™ to ensure proper operation and continuous protection.
• If stated water quality parameters are exceeded; pre-ltration is required as water
of this quality can compromise the eectiveness of the UV system. The lters
and the sleeve should be cleaned or replaced as required to keep them in good
condition.
• If bacteria has been present prior to the installation of this system, we recommend
ushing the pipelines with Puretec TankSafe.
• Never connect PVC pipe directly to the unit. The outlet pipework within 1 metre
should be metal or polyethylene.
• The system should not be used for any other purpose without specic referral to
Puretec.
• Heating of water is an integral feature associated with UV systems and if this
is deemed a problem we recommend installing a temperature management
valve, which is installed inline immediately aer the system and releases water
periodically. Ordering code is RI-TMS4.

Operation
• Allow two minutes for the UV lamp to reach full intensity before starting water ow.
• On a new installation where no other form of sterilisation has been in use, we
recommend ushing the pipe work with a suitable sanitiser such as TankSafe (for
dosage refer to TankSafe product instructions). This solution should be le in the
pipework for at least an hour and preferably overnight.
The sanitising solution can be added into the water tank or if necessary added as
a shock dose into the bowl of the lter housing of the Hybrid-R Triple and slowly
ushed through the piping. If added as a shock dose the system and pipework
should be rinsed thoroughly by opening a downstream tap.
