Lamp Replacement
The UV lamp intensity decreases over time. The UV lamps used in the Alfaa EcoStream Lite are rated
for approximately 9,000 hours of continuous use (approximately one year). Replace the lamp after
this time frame.
Lamp Installation/Replacement
1.
To replace the lamp, there is no need to disconnect the system from the water supply, or to
drain the water from the reactor chamber.
2.
Disconnect the main power supply from the wall socket and allow the unit to power down. From
the side where the lamp connections are made unscrew the QG socket end cover screws.
3.
Now gently pull out the lamp harness and extract the lamp connector and UV lamp from the UV
reactor. Once you can visually see the lamp, separate the lamp from the connector by pulling
them apart.
Do not pull the wire or try
twisting the connector as it will break. Pull only on the
lamp pins / connector.
Wipe off any oils with alcohol and a soft cloth.
Warning
: Depending on
when the system was powered down the UV lamp might still be
very hot
. In this case please take
care by using gloves or other protective gear.
4.
Carefully remove the lamp from the reactor chamber taking special care not to angle the lamp as
it is removed. If the lamp is removed at an angle, pressure will be applied on the inside of the
quartz sleeve,
causing the sleeve to fracture and break
.
5.
To install a new lamp, first remove the lamp from its protective packaging again being careful
not to touch the lamp “glass” itself. Connect the lamp wiring harness to the lamp, ensuring the
connector is fully seated on the pins. Finally, screw the socket cover back onto the QG socket
compression nut using the provided screws.
