UV Quartz Sleeve Cleaning & Replacement Instructions
1.
To remove the quartz sleeve, first remove the UV lamp as outlined in the UV Lamp Replacement Instructions on the
previous page.
2.
Perform Disconnect the main power source and allow the unit to power down.
3.
Shut off water supply and isolate flow to reactor.
4.
Remove aluminum gland nut from the chamber.
5.
Carefully remove the o-ring from the quartz sleeve. As the o-ring may tend to adhere to the quartz sleeve, it is
recommended to replace the o-ring annually.
6.
Clean the outside of the quartz sleeve with a cloth soaked in CLR™ or Limeaway™. Repeat the process as often as
necessary to keep the quartz sleeve clean. Be sure to remove all traces of cleaning fluid from the sleeve before it is
reinstalled into the reactor (be sure not to allow liquid inside the sleeve).
7.
Reassemble the quartz sleeve into the UV chamber.
8.
Wet the o-ring and slide onto the end of the quartz sleeve and reassemble the gland-nut (hand tight is sufficient).
9.
Re-install the UV lamp and lamp connector as per prior instructions.
10.
Plug in ballast and verify the lamp/power LED is illuminated.
Sanitizing the RO System
We recommend sanitizing the system at least once a year. This can be done while changing your filters. Shut down the
system. If you have an icemaker hook-up installed, be sure the ball valve in the line to the refrigerator is in the closed
position during this procedure. Open the faucet to drain the system, including the tank. Remove the pre-filter cartridges
and RO Membrane from the system, leaving the old post-filter cartridge in place. Wash the internal filter housing &
membrane housing areas with warm soapy water and rinse well to remove the soap. Pour about ¼ teaspoon of Hydrogen
Peroxide or household bleach into each filter housing and replace housings on the RO system. Open the feed water valve
and open the RO faucet until water flows freely from the spout. Close the faucet and hold the solution in the system for a
minimum of 10 minutes.
Drain the tank completely, close the faucet to allow tank to fill again, and then drain again. Replace filters and membrane
as indicated in the replacement instructions. The post filter should be changed after sanitizing the system.
