Exterior Surfaces

The exterior surfaces of the UV unit must be kept clean and dry. In most cases, the unit's exterior must be cleaned
once per month. Use a soft cloth and soapy water, or any commercial stainless steel cleaner. The ballast box's
interior should be inspected for debris. Debris can be removed using vacuum.

Quartz Sleeve

Debris and other matter in the water will settle onto the quartz sleeve and eventually block the UV rays from
penetrating into the water. It is necessary to determine a cleaning schedule for the quartz sleeve. The frequency
will depend on the specific type of water being processed and the duty cycle of the unit. Inspect the quartz sleeve
30 days after initial installation to assess the amount of contamination collected over the 30-day period. Use the
finding to determine a reasonable schedule and frequency for periodic cleaning. Clean-In-Place (CIP) cleaning is
sometimes effective in removing debris from the quartz sleeve. Conduct a CIP cleaning test to determine its
effectiveness. If CIP cleaning is not effective, then a manual cleaning or replacement is required. When the quartz
sleeve is due for cleaning, follow the procedures below.
1. Turn off the water source to the UV unit.
2. Disconnect the power source to the UV unit.
3. Drain the UV treatment chamber.
4. Remove the ballast box cover.
5. Remove rubber boot and carefully pull out the UV lamp through the compression nut pass-thru.
6. Use a channel lock to remove the compression nuts.
7. Remove the Quartz Sleeve.
8. Wash the Quartz Sleeve with mild, soapy water and rinse in clean, hot water.
9. If dirt remains after rinsing, the quartz sleeve must be replaced. Contact your local CSR to order a replacement.
Failure to perform quartz sleeve maintenance may reduce the UV light's effectiveness in treating water within the
treatment chamber.

Checking for Leaks

Visual inspect the UV unit's exterior for signs of leakage. Leaks must be repaired immediately. If a leakage is
detected, perform the following procedures:
1. Shut off power at the main panel breaker and use appropriate lock-out/tag-out procedures.
2. Depressurize the UV unit.
3. Remove ballast box cover and the rubber boot.
4. Locate the leak.
