3. To install a new lamp, first remove the lamp from its
protective packaging, again being careful not to touch the
lamp glass itself. Carefully insert the lamp into the reactor
vessel (actually inside the quartz sleeve) (Figure 2C). Insert
the lamp fully into the chamber leaving about two inches of
the lamp protruding from the chamber. Next, attach the
connector to the UV lamp (Figure 2B). The connector is
“keyed” and will only allow correct installation in one
position. Ensure the connector is fully seated onto the
UV lamp (Figure 2D).
4. Once the lamp is fully seated on the connector, slide the
connector over the aluminum retaining nut. Make sure the
metal retaining ring on the connector is pulled away from
the body of the connector in order that the connector may
slide fully over the retaining nut. Once the connector is
located fully over the retaining nut, slide the metal ring back
in to lock the connector in place (Figure 2E). As this
connector is keyed to the
reactor chamber, make sure
the notch on the connector
(Figure 2A) is located over the
ground luglocated on the
reactor chambe

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 then perform
the following steps:
a) Shut off water supply and drain all lines.
b) Remove the lowest connection on the disinfection system and
drain the UV chamber (use a small bucket under the unit to
prevent a spill). Note: On S12Q-PA & SSM-39 systems, the reactor
is provided with a 1/4“ drain port. On this system, simply remove
drain plug and allow water to drain into a bucket
c) Remove aluminum gland nuts from chamber (Figure 3A), checking
for the free floating spring inside sleeve at the opposite end to the
lamp connection (do not allow quartz sleeve to fall).
d) Carefully remove o-rings from the quartz sleeve (Figure 3B). As
the o-ring may tend to adhere to the quartz sleeve, it is
recommended to replace the o-rings annually.
e) Clean the outside of the quartz sleeve with a cloth soaked in CLR,
vinegar or some other mild acid and then rinse.
f) 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 3C).
g) Wet the o-rings and slide onto each end of the quartz sleeve and
reassemble the gland nuts (hand tight is sufficient).
h) Re-tighten all connections, turn on water and check for leaks.
I) Re-install the UV lamp and lamp connector as per prior
instructions.
j) Plug in ballast and verify the POWER-ON LED is illuminated and
ballast power-up sequence operates.
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.
