This is a compatible replacement quartz sleeve for SITA UV 403 disinfection systems, supplied by WrekinWater as part number QJ23370DE against SITA reference 028111. The domed end seats directly against the housing's end cap, protecting the UV lamp from direct water contact while letting UV-C light pass through to disinfect the water. It's a straightforward like-for-like swap for a sleeve that has clouded, scratched or reached the end of its service life.

Signs your quartz sleeve needs replacing
- Visible cloudiness, limescale or scratching on the sleeve surface
- Water developing a yellow or brown tinge even though the lamp is lit
- Your SITA UV 403's monitor or low-UV alarm triggering
- The sleeve has been fitted for 12 months or more
The quartz sleeve sits between the UV lamp and the water flowing through your SITA UV 403, shielding the lamp from direct contact with the water while still letting UV-C light pass through to disinfect it. Over months of use, mineral scale, iron staining and fine scratching gradually reduce how much UV light actually reaches the water, so disinfection becomes unreliable even though the lamp is still glowing. Replacing the sleeve restores full UV transmittance and keeps the system working as intended.
