Replacement Quartz Sleeve for PondMax Pressure Filter UV Clarifier
The PondMax Replacement Quartz Sleeve fits the UV clarifier chamber in PondMax PF Series pressure filters equipped with a 9-Watt UV lamp. A clean, intact quartz sleeve is essential for UV clarifier effectiveness. The sleeve protects the UV lamp from direct water contact while allowing UV-C light to pass through to treat the water.
Critical Component for UV Clarifier Performance
The quartz sleeve in a UV clarifier transmits over 90% of UV-C wavelengths while keeping the lamp dry. If the sleeve becomes clouded with mineral deposits or algae, UV transmission drops and the clarifier loses effectiveness against green water algae. A cracked or broken sleeve allows water to reach the lamp, causing immediate failure. This sleeve is the correct fit for the PondMax PF Series pressure filter with 9W UV.

How to Use
Disconnect the filter UV unit from power and drain the UV chamber before removing the sleeve. Slide out the old sleeve and inspect the O-ring seals on both ends. Replace O-rings if worn (O-ring kit sold separately). Insert the new quartz sleeve carefully, ensuring the end O-rings seat properly. Do not touch the quartz surface with bare hands. Oils from skin reduce UV transmission. Reconnect the lamp and power before restarting the filter.
Ideal for PondMax PF Series filter owners performing annual UV maintenance or replacing a sleeve damaged during cleaning or handling.
