Step 6:
Being careful to touch only the ceramic ends, remove the lamp out of the
chamber.
Step 7
: Unscrew the gland nut from the chamber exposing the end of the quartz sleeve.
Step 8:
Carefully remove the quartz sleeve and o-ring by
gently twisting and pulling
the
quartz sleeve.
Step 9:
Using a soft, lint-free cloth or towel wipe the sleeve down using a commercial
scale cleaner (i.e. CLR
®
or LIME-A-WAY
®
). This removes scaling or mineral deposits that
may be on the outside of the quartz sleeve. Be careful not to get any moisture or liquids
inside of the sleeve and ensure spring stays in place inside quartz sleeve.
Step 10:
Dry the sleeve with separate cloth.
Step 11:
Slide the sleeve back into the chamber following step 3 from the installation
section of the manual. Replace the o’ring and ensure spring is re-installed into quartz
sleeve.
WINTERIZATION
Recommended operating temperature is between 2-40 degrees C (36-104F). Please
ensure the Pura Vida and pump is off before winterizing.
There are 2 options for winterization:
WHEN BASE IS NOT AFFIXED TO CONCRETE: The Pura Vida unit should be disconnected
and stored indoors for winter. Unscrew the unions to disconnect the plumbing and remove
the drain plug to allow excess water to escape. Keeping the system fully assembled
move the chamber and controller inside for the winter.
WHEN BASE IS AFFIXED TO CONCRETE OR IF REQUIRED TO
LEAVE CONNECTED TO PLUMBING: Disconnect Power. Unscrew
the unions to disconnect the plumbing and remove the drain plug.
Remove the controller from wall mount and carefully disconnect
the lamp from the lamp cable. Unscrew ground screw from the
ground lug on chamber. Carefully remove the quartz tube and lamp.
These are fragile and must be handled with care, gloves are strongly
recommended. Ensure the spring remains in the quartz tube as it is
essential for reassembly. Utilize original packaging to safely store
the lamp and quartz sleeve. Apply the pressure test cap and screw a
top gland nut, as noted in STEP 2 of installation. After water has been completely drained
the unions can now be re-connected if desired.
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO STORE ELECTRONICS/CONTROLLER INSIDE DURING WINTER
MONTHS.
*When ready to reconnect the Pura Vida in the spring, please refer to the original
installation instructions above.
**If proper winterization and installation instructions are not followed, the warranty will
be rendered void.
