UV Quartz Sleeve (Quartz Tube)
Protecting Your UV Lamp for Maximum Performance
The Pure Blue Filtration UV Quartz Sleeve is a high-quality, precision-manufactured quartz tube designed to protect the UV lamp inside your water sterilisation system while allowing maximum ultraviolet light transmission.
The quartz sleeve acts as a barrier between the UV lamp and the water flowing through the sterilisation chamber. Its specialised quartz construction allows UV-C light to pass through with minimal loss of intensity, ensuring effective disinfection while protecting the lamp from direct contact with water.
Over time, mineral deposits, iron staining, and water contaminants can build up on the sleeve surface, reducing UV effectiveness. Regular inspection and replacement help maintain peak system performance and ensure reliable water treatment.

Why the Quartz Sleeve Matters
Even the most powerful UV lamp cannot operate effectively if UV light is blocked by scale, iron deposits, or damaged quartz. A clean, undamaged quartz sleeve ensures the maximum amount of UV energy reaches the water, providing consistent protection against bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms.
Recommended Maintenance
Inspect the quartz sleeve during every UV lamp replacement. Clean regularly if water contains hardness, iron, manganese, or sediment. Replace immediately if cracked, scratched, or permanently stained.
Compatible With
Pure Blue Filtration UV Sterilisation Systems and most standard UV water treatment units using quartz sleeve technology.
Cleaning Procedure
Turn off power to the UV unit.
Isolate and depressurise the system.
Remove the UV lamp.
Carefully remove the quartz sleeve.
Wipe the sleeve with a soft, lint-free cloth.
For mineral deposits, soak or wipe with:
White vinegar, or a citric acid solution
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Inspect for:
Cracks
Chips
Scratches
Permanent staining
Reinstall using new O-rings if required.
Important
❌ Do not use abrasive pads or steel wool.
❌ Do not use harsh chemicals that may damage the quartz.
❌ Never touch the UV lamp glass with bare fingers when reinstalling.
When to Replace
Replace the quartz sleeve if:
It is cracked or chipped.
It has deep scratches.
Iron or mineral staining cannot be removed.
UV performance has been compromised.
