Quartz Sleeve Replacement / Cleaning:
1. If the water contains any hardness minerals
(calcium or magnesium), iron or manganese,
the quartz sleeve will require periodic
cleaning. To remove the quartz sleeve, first
remove the UV lamp as outlined in step 1-4
(page 6) then perform the following steps:
Caution:
prior to performing any work on the
disinfection system, always disconnect the power
supply first.
a) Shut off water supply and drain all lines.
b) Remove aluminum gland nuts from chamber
(Figure 6), checking for the free floating spring inside
sleeve at the opposite end to the lamp connection
(do not allow quartz sleeve to fall).
c) Carefully remove o-rings from the quartz sleeve
(Figure 7). As the o-ring may tend to adhere to the
quartz sleeve, it is recommended to replace the o-rings
annually. Remove quartz sleeve carefully from chamber.
d) 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 in the reactor (be sure not
to allow liquid inside the sleeve).
e) Re-assemble the quartz sleeve with spring in the UV
chamber allowing the sleeve to protrude an equal
distance from both ends of the UV chamber (Figure 8).
f) Wet the o-rings and slide onto each end of the quartz
sleeve and reassemble the gland nuts (hand tight is
sufficient).
g) Re-tighten all connections, turn on water slowly and
check for leaks.
h) Re-install the UV lamp and lamp connector as per prior
instructions.
i) Plug in ballast and verify the Lamp/Power LED is
illuminated.
Note:
If the system is put on a temporary by-pass or if
it becomes contaminated after the disinfection system,
it will be necessary to shock the system with household
bleach for a full 20 minutes before resuming the use of
the water.
