Replacement of Broken Quartz Sleeve
IN ORDER TO PERFORM THIS TASK, BE SURE TO WEAR THE FOLLOWING SAFETY
EQUIPMENT: SAFETY GLASSES OR A FACE SHIELD, AS WELL AS GLOVES.
Broken Quartz is SHARP. It is recommended that protective glasses and gloves are worn when handling.
1.
Disconnect power to water purifier.
•
For 120v 50/60Hz version using ballast no. 10-0518A or 230v 50/60hz version using ballast no. 10-0514A, remove
the ground connector from the chamber, and go to the next step.
2.
Shut off water supply to water purifier via inlet and outlet shut off valves and drain chamber.
3.
Follow the steps in
“Lamp Installation or Replacement”
to remove lamp.
4.
Unscrew static gland nuts from each end of the chamber. Avoid striking quartz sleeve with static gland nut.
5.
Remove Teflon
®
washer and O-Ring from both ends of quartz sleeve. Teflon
®
washer will some times remain within the static
gland nut. If so, remove Teflon
®
washer from static gland nut before proceeding.
6.
Carefully
remove as much of the broken quartz sleeve as possible, from each end of the chamber.
7.
To remove fragments of quartz sleeve, hold the purifier vertically and shake. The quartz fragments will break and drop out
of the purifier through the gland fitting. Flush water through chamber being careful to remove all quartz fragments from the
interior of the chamber.
8.
Carefully discard all pieces of the broken quartz sleeve.
9.
Align the end of the quartz sleeve with the gland fitting of the chamber.
10.
Carefully slide the quartz sleeve into the chamber, guiding it through the gland fitting.
NOTE:
Use care to keep the quartz
sleeve parallel to the chamber, angling the quartz sleeve in any direction could result in the breakage of the quartz sleeve.
11.
As the quartz sleeve nears the far end of the chamber, support the quartz sleeve by inserting your finger through the far end
gland fitting and into the quartz sleeve. This will minimize the possibility of breaking the quartz sleeve as it passes through the
gland fitting.
12.
Center the quartz sleeve in the chamber, making sure the quartz sleeve protrudes an equal distance past each threaded gland
fitting, of the chamber.
13.
Re-install O-Rings, Teflon
®
washers, and static gland nuts. Be sure O-Rings are placed on quartz sleeve before Teflon
®
washer.
Tighten static gland nuts firmly by hand only,
DO NOT USE HAND TOOLS.
Tightening with hand tools is likely to cause
quartz sleeve to break.
14.
When all connections are complete allow water to enter the water purifier at a low flow rate until the purifier is pressurized.
With the purifier pressurized, it should be checked for leaks.
15.
If no leaks occur, reinstall lamp, following the steps in
“Lamp Installation or Replacement”
section.
