Q:

Light scale can often be removed with the manufacturer-approved method. Rinse thoroughly and replace the sleeve if deposits, clouding, or etching remain.
Q:
Do I need new O-rings when replacing the sleeve?

Inspect the seals whenever the chamber is opened. Replace O-rings that are cut, flattened, stretched, brittle, or leaking; use only a light coating of food-grade silicone lubricant if directed.

How can I avoid breaking the new sleeve?
A:
Shut off power and water, relieve pressure, handle quartz with clean gloves, remove grit from sealing surfaces, align the sleeve without forcing it, and tighten retaining parts evenly.
