Compatibility

• BioShield system equipped with an 80-watt UV lamp

It is recommended to check the model number printed on your BioShield system before ordering.

Function of the quartz sleeve

The quartz sleeve is installed around the UV lamp inside the BioShield system.

It notably allows to:

• Protect the lamp from direct contact with water
• Allow the passage of ultraviolet light
• Maintain the seal of the lamp compartment
• Facilitate the removal and maintenance of the UV lamp
• Contribute to the proper functioning of the BioShield system

Mineral deposits and accumulated dirt on the quartz can reduce the passage of UV light. The sleeve should therefore be inspected and cleaned periodically.

When to replace the quartz sleeve?

Replacement may be necessary when:

• The sleeve is cracked or broken
• The quartz is scratched or damaged
• Deposits can no longer be removed
• Water infiltration is observed around the lamp
• The sleeve was damaged during maintenance
• The BioShield system requires refurbishment

A cracked sleeve must not be reinstalled in the system.

Installation and handling

Quartz is a fragile material that must be handled with care.

Before installation:

1. Completely cut off the system’s power supply.
2. Stop the circulation pump.
3. Close the necessary valves.
4. Depressurize and drain the BioShield system.
5. Carefully remove the UV lamp.
6. Inspect seals and retaining components.
7. Install the new sleeve according to Pentair instructions.
8. Check the seal before powering the system back on.

Professional installation is recommended to avoid breaking the sleeve or damaging the UV lamp.

Maintenance tips

• Handle the sleeve with clean hands or gloves
• Avoid shocks and twisting
• Clean the quartz with a suitable product
• Do not use a wire brush
• Inspect seals at each disassembly
• Replace damaged or hardened seals
• Check for cracks before reinstalling
• Never power the system without proper circulation
