Maintenance of your
Zapp Pure
Taking care of your Zapp Pure is a snap. Periodically in areas with hard water you may need to
clean the quartz tube inside the UV.
This is easily accomplished by removing the 6 small screws that hold the "Hood" on the unit.
Always disconnect the unit from electricity before making repairs on the unit!
Remove the quartz tube "Safety retainer" by unscrewing the two screws that secure it to the "Leak
Tite Nut".
Now lift up on the wires that connect to the lamp and remove lamp from its white 4 prong connector.
Set lamp aside until later.
Carefully loosen "Leak Tite Nut" with a pair of adjustable jaw pliers.
Carefully lift out the quartz tube with your fingers. In case the quartz tube appears to be difficult to
pull out, try this: Try inserting a pair of plastic tongs into one of the two side vessel opening and gently lift-
ing upward. Another way that you might find useful is to take Duct tape and push about an inch inside the
quartz tube, from the top, with your finger pressing against the inside of the tube until securely gripping
the tube. Make a hoop out of the Duct tape that allows you to gently pull up and out
. The quartz tube is
very fragile, be careful and wear protective gloves and eye protection to perform this operation.
Clean the quartz tube with a mild vinegar or acid solution. Then reassemble being careful not to
over tighten the quartz tube"Leak Tite Nut".
