Replacement of Broken Quartz Sleeve
Broken quartz is sharp. It is recommended that protective goggles and
gloves are worn when handling broken quartz sleeves.
Follow the sleeve removal instructions in the previous section through step 4. Carefully
remove as much of the broken quartz sleeve as possible from each end of the chamber.
To remove fragments of quartz, hold the purifier vertically and shake – fragments will
break and drop out of the gland fitting. Flush water through the chamber being careful
to remove all quartz fragments from possible contamination of your water supply.
Disposal of Mercury Added Lamps
Germicidal ultraviolet lamps, like standard fluorescent lamps, contain small amounts of
mercury. Old lamps should not be placed in the trash. Dispose of properly. In the US,
further information regarding disposal and recycling of lamps containing mercury can be
found at

Lamp-Out Protection
VMS-3 units for AC power supply have a self resetting switch that disconnects power to
the ballast if the power supply is plugged in with no bulb or a burnt out bulb. The ballast
must remain unplugged for two minutes to reset the switch.
