TMC Pond Clear UV Quartz Sleeves

Product Description

TMC Pond Clear UV Quartz Sleeves

The Pond Clear range of UVs are the smaller range of UVs offered by TMC.  The UVs have a black base and green top with two screws holding the lid on.

They have now been discontinued but the replacement lamps and quartz sleeves are still available.

What is the Quartz Sleeve?

The quartz sleeve is the outer glass sleeve that seperates the water flowing through a UV unit and the electrical lamp inside the UV unit.

Can I maintain the Quartz Sleeve?

• It is very important to maintain the quartz sleeve on a yearly basis, maintenance should include removing the quartz sleeve from the UV unit and cleaning with a mild acid / domestic cleaner.
• With the quartz sleeve removed it is a good time to inspect the sleeve for damage and possible hairline fractures than can occur around the end of the quartz sleeve.
• If these fractures are present then replace the quartz sleeve, remember it is the Quartz sleeve that seperates the water from the electrical tube, so it must be in good condition.
• When replacing the quartz sleeve don't forget to fit a new pair of 'o' ring seals to the sleeve

Will a clean Quartz Sleeve make a UV more effecient?

• A clean quartz sleeve will allow more UV light to penetrate the pond water flowing through the UV, thus killing more single celled green algae.
