INSTALLATION & USE
Replacing Your Quartz Sleeve
- Turn off water supply and unplug the UV system power supply completely before beginning any maintenance.
- Remove the UV lamp carefully from the chamber, then unscrew the quartz sleeve retaining nut or gland assembly to access the old sleeve.
- Gently slide out the old quartz sleeve, inspect O-rings for wear, and clean the chamber interior if mineral buildup is present.
- Install the new WUVQS12 quartz sleeve with fresh O-rings, ensuring proper seating, then reinstall the UV lamp and restore power.
COMPATIBILITY
Designed for Watts WUV12 Systems
This Watts WUVQS12 quartz sleeve is engineered specifically for the Watts WUV12 ultraviolet disinfection system. The quartz sleeve is a critical component that must maintain optical clarity and structural integrity to ensure effective UV sterilization. Replace the sleeve if you notice cloudiness, mineral scaling, or any cracks, as compromised quartz drastically reduces UV effectiveness and microbial protection.
🔧 Pro tip: Handle the new quartz sleeve with clean gloves or a lint-free cloth to avoid fingerprints and oils that reduce UV transmission. If you do touch the quartz, clean it with isopropyl alcohol before installation.
