7.6 In-place Cleaning
This procedure will clean the quartz sleeve without its removal from the unit. This is a quick and easy
procedure that works well in most cases.
Tools Needed:
slotted screwdriver
;
Phillips screwdriver
;
pipe wrench.
1. Fill a bucket or container with 1 gallon (4 liters) of clean water - this will be required later to clean
the quartz sleeve. A squeeze bottle is useful for applying water or cleaning solution to the inside of
the quartz sleeve.
2. Shutdown and unplug the unit.
3. Shut off the water supply and relieve the pressure.
4. Open the UV Chamber as described in Accessing UV Chamber section.
5. Place another bucket under the unit and drain the unit until there is about 1
” (3cm) of water left in
the quartz sleeve (see Draining the Unit section).
6. Disconnect the fitting at the top outlet port of the UV unit. If the stainless flexible hose was
installed, disconnect the hose opposite from the UV unit then bend the open end upwards
– this will
make the next step easier.
7. Add about 2 oz. (60cc) of cleaning solution to the top hose/manifold. The cleaning solution can be a
citric acid, vinegar or other non-hazardous solutions. Any solution used should be thoroughly rinsed
out afterwards. Fill the rest of the quartz sleeve with water.
8. Let the cleaning solution remain in the quartz sleeve for at least 10-20 minutes.
9. Manually turning the wiper may greatly assist the cleaning process. To do this, remove the top
plastic cover then remove the motor and turn the wiper shaft with a slotted screwdriver
(counterclockwise while looking at the shaft). If the optional wiper positioner switch is installed,
leave the trigger cam in place.
10. Drain the unit and inspect the quartz sleeve. If clean, flush the unit with clean water. If fouling
remains, repeat procedure or proceed to disassembling the unit.
11. Once the unit is clean, reassemble the system including the motor, plastic cover, top port
connection(s) and UV chamber door.
12. Slowly open the water supply and check for leaks.
13. Restart the unit by plugging it in.
