9. Cleaning the Quartz Sleeve
The quartz sleeve will now be exposed and can be cleaned. Note that the inside of the
glass sleeve is normally sealed and should never need cleaning. Carefully clean the
outside of the quartz sleeve using NON-ABRASIVE CLEANERS, as they can scratch the
high quality glass. If lime or hard water calcium deposits are encountered, rinse the quartz
sleeve with tap water, then clean with lime removal products such as Lime-A-Way
Muriatic acid mixture as described on page 7. Use appropriate eye protection and gloves
when handling harsh chemicals. A lint free cloth can be used to help wipe away depos-
its. After using the lime removal products, rinse and wipe with the sleeve with Isopropyl
alcohol. Completely dry the sleeve before re-assembly.
Carefully inspect the cleaned quartz sleeve for cracks. If any cracks in the quartz sleeve are found, the sleeve should be replaced. A broken quartz sleeve will
allow water to enter the dry electrical chamber and attack the electrical components of the unit, which will cause them to fail and need to be replaced. Dispose
of any broken glass in the proper waste receptacle. BROKEN QUARTZ SLEEVES, OR WATER DAMAGE CAUSED BY BROKEN QUARTZ SLEEVES, ARE NOT COV-
ERED UNDER YOUR LIMITED WARRANTY.
10. Reinstall the Stainless Steel Baffle
The easiest way to reinstall the baffle is to place it end up on the ground and lower the light engine on top of it. Guide the baffle making sure that the 3 locking
tabs on the light engine line up with the 3 slots in the baffle. Gently push the light engine down until the baffle snaps into place.
11. Insert the Light Engine into the Vessel and Fasten with the Vessel Lock Nut
The light engine must be oriented in a certain position for it to fully insert into the vessel. Lower the light engine until the final 1" or so and look for the two slots
on the inside top of the vessel. Spin the light engine until the two keys line up with the slots. Now fully push the light engine down into the vessel and lock by
tightening the vessel lock nut.
12. Reinstall the UV lamp.
Slowly lower the lamp down into the quartz sleeve and twist clockwise to lock.
13. Reinstall the Vessel Cap
Place the vessel cap on the top of the HydroRite unit and tighten the screws using a Phillips screwdriver. DO NOT over tighten the screws due to risk of crack-
ing the cover. Turn on the circulation pump, making sure to open any valves (if applicable) that were closed. Verify that there are no leaks before powering the
HydroRite.
Scheduled UV Lamp Replacement
In addition to cleaning of the quartz sleeve, periodic replacement of the UV lamp is required. The High Output UV lamp in your HydroRite unit is designed to last
for approximately 13,000 hours of continuous operation. If replacing the lamp, clean the quartz sleeve at the same time to minimize your maintenance efforts.
Winterizing
Your HydroRite unit can be damaged if not properly winterized. Ice formation inside the vessel can break the glass quartz sleeve, the UV lamp or the vessel itself.
Therefore, you must protect your HydroRite unit from freezing. Damage due to freezing, including the breakage of glass components, the vessel, or water dam-
age to other components caused by freezing IS NOT COVERED under your Limited Warranty. During winterization, drain your UV device of all water within the ves-
sel—use a Wet-Dry vacuum if necessary. Store the sleeve and lamp and all connectors in a manner to prevent breakage or corrosion during the winter months.
Freeze damage
Freeze damage can be avoided by keeping the water flowing at a minimum of 5 PSI pressure at all times, without interruption during freezing weather. All pump
timers must be inoperable and the pump must run continuously. Freeze damage can also be avoided if the pump and HydroRite unit are maintained inside a
climate controlled enclosure. If you do not plan to operate your HydroRite unit during freezing temperatures, you must take precautions to make sure all water is
removed from inside the HydroRite vessel so it does not freeze. This can be accomplished by first closing any valves on lines in the plumbing system and then
opening the inlet union at the bottom of the HydroRite unit so that the water can drain.
How To Obtain Service
In the event that service is required, contact your builder or dealer so they can advise the best method of providing the services you need. In some instances,
the supplier will handle the required service themselves, including the ability to supply any necessary parts. In other instances, the supplier will refer you to
Hayward, who can assist you as well. Please read the Limited Warranty in this manual for your HydroRite unit. It explains fully what is and what is not covered
under the Limited Warranty and the warranty periods.
