System Maintenance
Minerals in water will build up on the quartz sleeve and vessel. This coating must be
cleaned off periodically as it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, therefore
reducing the effectiveness and performance of the system.
Depending on water quality, it is advised to clean the unit and quartz sleeve every time lamp
is replaced.
Make sure to wear gloves whilst handling the unit.
Servicing the Unit
Turn off and disconnect ballast from the power and allow unit to cool down.
Turn off water supply and open faucet to release pressure from unit.
Once system is cool, remove unit from mounting brackets and disconnect inlet and outlet
elbows from chamber. Tip the unit and drain as much water as possible into a bucket.
Remove end cover from chamber, disconnect wire (4 pin plug) from lamp and carefully
remove lamp.
Unscrew both end caps and carefully remove orange o-rings. Check disposition and replace
if necessary.
Carefully remove quartz sleeve.
Chamber can be cleaned with a bottle brush.
NOTE – Hardness can generally be removed with citric acid or commercially available
scale remover (Make sure to follow all directions on cleaning products).
Quartz sleeve can be cleaned with a sponge or cloth. Make sure sleeve is completely clean.
Once chamber and quartz sleeve are clean, wipe them, including inside quartz sleeve, with
methylated spirits or alcohol wipes to remove any smears.
Reassemble and reconnect unit following installation instructions.
