Regular maintenance is the key to consistent disease control.
Please perform routine maintenance on your UV for peak performance:
•
Replacement of Pre-Filter Sponge / Monthly
•
Cleaning of the Quartz Sleeve / Monthly

UV-C Lamp Replacement/Yearly
Providing clean pre-filtered water is vital for the
UV-C lamp to effectively perform. Sponges require a
monthly replacement.
Unsnap the bottom cap cover and slide out
sponge and replace with new sponge.
The Quartz Sleeve acts as a barrier between the water and the UV-C lamp to
maintain proper operating temperatures and allow for a 99% transmission
rate.
Cleaning the Quartz Sleeve is crucial to the UV’s success
and should be performed monthly. Remove pump and
clean Quartz sleeve with a cloth to remove unwanted
algae and debris from the outside of the sleeve.
Warning: Always unplug the UV from the wall outlet and drain
water from UV before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
