5.2 Cleaning the Quartz Sleeve
Mineral deposits and sediment build-up on the quartz sleeve will affect the system performance by decreasing the UV light transmitted through
the quartz sleeve into the water column.
The proper maintenance and replacement of the Sediment and Carbon Block filters supplied with the VPS1140 system will reduce the
accumulation of mineral and sediment residue on the quartz sleeve.
The quartz sleeve may be cleaned with a commercially available, non-abrasive, scale remover and a lint free cloth. Cleaning of the quartz sleeve
should be done on a regular basis to insure system performance. The amount of cleaning required will be dependant upon local water
conditions.
All traces of the cleaning solution must be fully removed from the sleeve before it is reinstalled in the system. Care should be taken to prevent
any cleaning fluid from coming into contact with the inside surface of the quartz sleeve.
