Q:
What does the VIQUA QS-463 do?
A:
It isolates the UV lamp from chamber water while allowing UV energy to pass through and helping the lamp operate at its intended temperature.
Q:
How often should the quartz sleeve be replaced?
A:
Inspect it during lamp service and replace it if cracked, chipped, clouded, etched, or no longer restorable. Many owners replace sleeves about every 24 months, subject to the system manual and water conditions.
Q:
Can mineral scale be removed from the sleeve?
A:
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?
A:
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.
Q:
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.
