Quartz glass transmits ultraviolet light far more efficiently than standard glass, but over time it clouds from mineral deposits and biological film — reducing UV penetration and allowing algae to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintains UV Effectiveness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clouded quartz sleeve can reduce UV transmission by over 40 %, which means algae spores and harmful pathogens pass through the clarifier alive. Replacing the sleeve — especially when you install a new UV bulb — ensures maximum light reaches the water and keeps green water under control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Models\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBitron C 18 W, Bitron C 24 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26041\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-purity quartz glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM replacement sleeve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisconnect the clarifier from power.
