SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE
Procedure
1. Unplug the Power Supply Enclosure from the
electrical outlet.
2. Drain the vessel completely.

4. Using the white retaining nut tightening tool included
with the UV system, unthread the Quartz Sleeve
Retaining Nut from the male-threaded Quartz Sleeve
Module located on the QSM Faceplate. Once the
Quartz Sleeve Retaining Nut is unthreaded the open-
end of the quartz sleeve will be exposed.

the quartz sleeve from the UV vessel. DO NOT use
pliers or any tools that may break the quartz sleeve.

removing the quartz sleeves until all are removed
from the vessel. Place quartz sleeves on a safe, level
surface to avoid breakage.
7. Inspect all quartz sleeves for cracks, chips and
scaling. If required, clean the quartz sleeve(s). See
Page 19 Quartz Sleeve Cleaning. Replace damaged
(cracked, chipped) quartz sleeves.
WARNING: If a sleeve nut is removed when there
is dynamic water pressure inside the UV system, the
lamp sleeve will eject from the end plate with enough
force to cause personal injury.
