Quartz Sleeve Cleaning

Purpose
To manually check and clean quartz sleeve(s).
Frequency
When required, at least once annually.
Parts and Equipment Required
• Cleaning Agent (dish detergent, acid cleaning agent based upon phosphoric acid (>25%)
• Acid-Proof Bucket
• Clean Cloth
• Acid-Proof Drop Cloth
• Acid-Resistant Gloves
• Freshwater
• MSDS Sheet
• Personal Protective Equipment
General risk due to pressurized piping and UV vessel!
General risk due to caustic cleaning agent!
Quartz Sleeves are fragile and potentially dangerous if broken. Handle with care.
First Aid Measures:
In case of skin exposure to cleaning agent remove by washing with soap and water immediately.
In case of eye exposure to cleaning agent wash eyes for several minutes with water and contact a physician
immediately.
In case of ingestion of cleaning agent contact physician immediately.
Procedure
See Page 30 for quartz sleeve removal instructions.

UV Vessel Cleaning

Purpose
Over a period of time, dissolved matter can build up on the surface of the quartz sleeves and the interior of the vessel
affecting the efficiency of the UV disinfection process. Due to fouling, the available intensity will decrease continuously
(Note: The use of the optional wiping system merely helps to decrease the frequency of the manual cleaning cycle).
Please be aware that such a decrease also may be caused by ageing of the UV lamps or changes in the water quality
(UV transmission). Repeat of visual inspections of the UV Sensor or of some example quartz sleeves will help to
determine the necessary cleaning intervals needed. The removal of this build-up (calcium, etc.) can be carried out with a
cleaning pump. A cleaning agent based upon phosphoric acid like citric acid or commercially available cleaners may be
used. Materials within the vessel chamber are highly resistant against these chemicals.
