  If the UV intensity is low in your Pentair Laboratory Equipment, several factors could be responsible. It might be due to decreased UV transmissibility, in which case you should check and clean the quartz sleeve. The UV lamp may have reached the end of its life and requires replacement. A fouled quartz sleeve can also cause this issue, so clean or replace it. Finally, a faulty UV sensor could be the culprit, requiring testing and replacement.
