Your UV quartz sleeve should be inspected every 12 months when changing your UV lamp. A UV quartz sleeve used in an ultra violet light water treatment system does not always need annual replacement, but it must be cleaned and checked for limescale, staining or cracks. If the quartz sleeve becomes cloudy, etched or damaged, it should be replaced immediately to maintain proper UV transmission and effective water disinfection.

This reduces UV performance and can compromise water safety. In hard water areas, regular cleaning of your UV quartz sleeve is essential to maintain optimal UV output and ensure your ultra violet light system continues to operate correctly.
