What is the Quartz Sleeve?

The quartz sleeve is the outer glass sleeve that seperates the water flowing through a UV unit and the electrical lamp inside the UV unit.

Can I maintain the Quartz Sleeve?

• It is very important to maintain the quartz sleeve on a yearly basis, maintenance should include removing the quartz sleeve from the UV unit and cleaning with a mild acid / domestic cleaner.
• With the quartz sleeve removed it is a good time to inspect the sleeve for damage and possible hairline fractures than can occur around the end of the quartz sleeve.
• If these fractures are present then replace the quartz sleeve, remember it is the Quartz sleeve that seperates the water from the electrical tube, so it must be in good condition.
• When replacing the quartz sleeve don't forget to fit a new pair of 'o' ring seals to the sleeve

Will a clean Quartz Sleeve make a UV more effecient?

• A clean quartz sleeve will allow more UV light to penetrate the pond water flowing through the UV, thus killing more single celled green algae.
