Puretec Rainwater Treatment: Hybrid E Series + TankSafe™

Essentials for Rainwater

Is Your Rainwater Tank Really Safe?


Rainwater is a valuable resource across Australia, widely used for drinking, cooking, cleaning, and everyday household needs. While it often looks clean, what’s less visible is what it collects along the way from roof to tank to tap.

Dust, bird droppings, organic matter, and airborne pollutants can all contaminate your water supply. Even with leaf guards, first flush diverters, and debris filters in place, harmful microorganisms can still make their way into your tank - leaving you never quite sure what’s in the water and creating an ongoing sense of worry.

Puretec Essentials for Rainwater: Hybrid E Series + TankSafe
Puretec provides flexible rainwater treatment options to suit every home. The Puretec Hybrid E Series delivers whole house protection by combining automatic Radfire™ UV technology with multi‑stage filtration to supply consistently treated water to every tap, with minimal maintenance. Alternatively, Puretec TankSafe™ can disinfect rainwater inside the tank, killing bacteria and viruses for up to two months.

Filtration Systems
While rainwater collection systems help reduce debris, filtration systems improve water quality at the point of use. A good filtration setup can:
  • Remove sediment and particles 
  • Improve taste and odour 
  • Reduce bacteria using UV technology 
  • Reduces tannins and airborne pollutants
  • Provide consistent water quality throughout the home
A Complete Solution: Puretec Hybrid E Series
For a more advanced, all-in-one system, the Puretec Hybrid E Series offers a whole-home filtration and UV purification solution. Key Features include:
  • Multi-stage filtration 
  • UV sterilisation to neutralise bacteria
  • Designed specifically for rainwater conditions and to look good along the house!
  • Treats water at the point of entry (entire home)
Puretec Hybrid E Series Models
The models offer a range of sizes and layers of filtration to suit different circumstances and flow rates:
  • E6 
  • E7 or E7 AMC (Architecturally Mounted Cover)
  • E13 or E13 AMC (Architecturally Mounted Cover)
What Is Puretec TankSafe™ Rainwater Tank Purifier?
While filtration systems treat water as it enters your home, Puretec TankSafe™ works directly inside the tank. 
TankSafe™ by Puretec is a water treatment liquid solution designed to disinfect stored water and make it safe for use.
 
TankSafe™ works using a powerful yet simple formula:
  • Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) – releases oxygen to destroy bacteria and pathogens       
  • Silver Nitrate – enhances the disinfecting effect and stabilises the solution 
Why TankSafe™ Works
  • Kills bacteria, including E. coli 
  • Breaks down into water and oxygen (no harmful residues) 
  • No unpleasant taste or odour (unlike chlorine) 
  • Easy to apply and monitor 
  • Long-lasting effect in stored water    
TankSafe™ Dosage & Use
  • 1 litre per 16,000 litres of tank water 
  • Requires 24 hours to fully disinfect 
  • Remains effective for up to 2 months 
  • Re-dosing needed over time or after heavy rain/top-ups
Puretec Hybrid E Series + TankSafe ™: The Best of Both Worlds
For optimal results, many households combine both approaches:
 
1. Filtration System - Hybrid E Series
  • Treats water at the point of entry 
  • Filters and purifies water before use 
  • Ensures safe, clean water at every tap
2. Tank Treament – TankSafe™
  • Disinfects water inside the tank
  • Controls bacteria at the source

Result:
A layered protection system that delivers safer, better-tasting, and more reliable water across your entire home.

Final Thoughts
Clean-looking water isn’t always safe water. Understanding how your rainwater is collected, stored, and treated is essential for maintaining quality over time.
 
By combining TankSafe™  treatment with a Hybrid E Series filtration system, you can confidently manage your water supply protecting both your health and your home.
