Quartz Sleeve Replacement And/Or Cleaning:
If the water contains any hardness minerals (calcium or magnesium), iron or
manganese, the quartz sleeve will require periodic cleaning. To remove the quartz
sleeve, rst the UV lamp as outlined above:
1. Shut off water supply and drain all lines.
2. Drain the UV chamber (use a small bucket under the unit to prevent a
spill), using drain port provided.
3. Remove nuts from chamber, checking for the free oating spring inside
sleeve at the opposite end to the lamp connection (do not allow quartz
sleeve to fall).
4. Carefully remove O-rings from the quartz sleeve. As the O-ring may
tend to adhere to the quartz sleeve, it is recommended to replace the
O-rings annually.
5. Clean the quartz sleeve with a cloth soaked in CLR, vinegar or some
other mild acid and then rinse avoiding the introduction of any water to
the inside of the sleeve.
6. Re-assemble the quartz sleeve with spring in the UV chamber allowing
the sleeve to protrude an equal distance from chamber.
7. Wet the O-rings and slide onto each end of the quartz sleeve.
8. Reassemble the gland nuts (hand tight is sufcient).
9. Re-tighten all connections, turn on water and check for leaks.
Re-install the UV lamp and lamp connector as per prior instructions
10. Reconnect system to power source.
Note: If the system is put on a temporary hold, bypassed, removed,
or if it becomes contaminated after the disinfection system, It will be
necessary to shock the system with household bleach for a full 20
minutes before resuming use of the water.
