Overview
Ensure top performance of your Sterilight ultraviolet (UV) water filter by checking the quartz sleeve. Fouled or cracked/chipped quartz sleeves need to be replaced.
The quartz sleeve is an important component of a properly functioning Sterilight S12Q-PA ultraviolet (UV) light water filter. The ultraviolet (UV) lamp is protected from the water being treated by the quartz sleeve. Quartz has the ability to allow almost 100% of the germicidal UV light produced by the lamp to pass through it and into the water. The quartz sleeve also serves to keep the ultraviolet (UV) lamp at an optimum operating temperature.
Quartz sleeves may become fouled or stained over time. In the event that you find the sleeve is dirty we recommend cleaning it with an acid-based cleaner such as CLR or LimeAway and a paper towel. If cleaning does not remove all of the visible staining it is important to replace the quartz sleeve. A dirty sleeve can prevent the ultraviolet (UV) water filter from operating properly. Any quartz sleeve with a crack or chip must also be replaced immediately. Proper maintenance of the Sterilight S12Q-PA will guarantee years of trouble-free water protection.
