2.3 Cleaning and Replacing UV Sensor

Mineral deposits and sediment may accumulate on the sensor window decreasing the UV energy detected. Good 
maintenance of pre-treatment equipment will reduce the accumulation of residues. If the system indicates that the UV 
intensity is low, one cause may be a stained quartz sleeve and/or sensor window.

Prerequisites:

Disconnect the main power source and allow the system to cool for 10 minutes.

Shut off water supply and drain all lines.

Depressurize the unit. Place a small pail near the openings to catch any spills.

Remove the UV lamp. Refer to 

Section 2.1

.

Remove and clean the quartz sleeve. Refer to 

Section 2.2

.

Note: 

The quartz sleeve and UV sensor should be cleaned at the same time.

Procedure:.

which is extremely fragile, be careful you do not chip or break this quartz window. Manufacturer’s warranty does not cover damage due to neglect or 

misuse.
