The All-in-One Rainwater Filtration Solution When most people think of rainwater they think of how pure the source is. Of course the original source is but the contaminantes it comes into contact with afterwards in the collection and storage process is where real health issues can arise. This need for rainwater filtration is nothing new but the feedback from customers reliant on this type of water source was the need for a system that was not only flexible to their filtration needs, looked great, was neat and tidy but also incorporated everything they needed into one package. With all this in mind, Puretec have spent the last few years designing the patented HybridPlus in house, to deliver everything the market asked for and was released into the market in late 2020.
The carefully considered design includes a three stage filtration process, UV sterilisation using Radfire technology plus model options to include a premium pump and/or mains to rain changeover switch.
The HybridPlus embodies Puretec’s core purpose of ensuring everyone has safe and clean water, sustainably. The design process didn’t stop there, giving the luxury of gull wing access doors to provide easier maintenance, a 3-point locking system and concealed ventilation. Moreover, there was even more to consider in the design, a UV system that had a
unique connection system so that it could be connected from either the left or the right of the unit making connections quicker and easier for plumbers and tradespeople on site. Impression is everything when it comes to in-store displays and being such a large unit the next consideration for the project was to ensure it was display friendly for all Puretec dealers. A custom pallet that the unit could be shipped on as well as being used for being displayed in-store was the answer. During its initial release the first lot of systems were also shipped out with a custom cube stacking display to draw attention to the unit and create general conversation around the truly unique piece.
