Quartz Sleeve Assembly and Installation
Improper assembly may result in water damage to
electrical components and unsafe conditions. The manufacturer is not
responsible for damage caused by improper re-assembly of these parts.
Quartz Sleeve Module (QSM) Assembly:
1. Quartz Sleeve
2. QSM Retaining Nut
3. QSM Blue Compression Gasket
4. QSM XF Gasket
5. Quartz Sleeve Module
Assembly Instructions
1. Position the QSM retaining nut and QSM blue compression gasket over
the open end of the quartz sleeve. The blue compression gasket is a
snug fit with the quartz sleeve. Water may be used to slide the blue
compression gasket into place on the quart sleeve.
2. Slide the "open-end" of the quartz sleeve (with nut/gasket in position)
into the clear quartz sleeve module
3. Thread the white retaining nut onto the clear quartz sleeve module' s
male threads and hand-tighten.
4. While hand-tightening the QSM retaining nut onto the clear quartz
sleeve module, use your index finger to ensure that the open-end
of the quartz sleeve mates smoothly with the inside lip of the clear
quartz sleeve module; this signifies a good fit.
5. With the quartz sleeve positioned inside the clear quartz sleeve
module properly, finish hand-tightening the white retaining nut.
When the QSM retaining nut is tight, the quartz sleeve should appear
straight inside the clear quartz sleeve module.
NOTE: If the quartz sleeve appears crooked it may leak. Disassemble
and try again.
6. Carefully slide the quartz sleeve assembly into the UV vessel. The
domed-end of the quartz sleeve will slide into the coupling located on
the non-electrical end of the UV vessel.
7. With the quartz sleeve assembly properly in place, the quartz sleeve
retaining module will sit flush against the top of the UV vessel.
8. Thread the black retaining nut onto the male threads of the UV vessel.
Hand tighten only!
9. Using the instructions given on page 6, perform the Mandatory Leak
Test. If no leaks are found proceed to page 7, UV Lamp Installation, for
instructions on installing the UV lamp.
DO NOT operate the UV system at flow rates higher than
maximum flow rate. Operating the product in this manner will result in
reduced effectiveness and voiding of warranty.

Suspended solid debris will absorb UV light and reduce the UV
transmittance through water.
When operating UVs consider the recommended water flow rates found
in the "Sizing Chart", on page 4.
