VIQUA UVMAX Lamp and Quartz Sleeve Replacement
Instruction Sheet
Models: H, K, H+, K+, PRO10, PRO20, PRO30 and PRO50
Overview
UV Lamp replacement: The amount of UV light created by the UV lamp decreases over time, requiring that the UV lamp be
replaced. The system will automatically notify you when it is time to replace the UV lamp.
Quartz Sleeve replacement/maintenance: Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the quartz sleeve. This coating must be
removed because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing disinfection performance. If the quartz
sleeve can not be cleaned, it must be replaced.
Section 1 Safety Information
Please read this entire instruction sheet before operating this equipment. Pay attention to all danger, warning, and caution
statements in this instruction sheet. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or damage to the equipment.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
UV Light Hazard
• ALWAYS use UV protective gear, including gloves and UV safety glasses.
• NEVER look directly at illuminated UV lamp, even when using protective gear.
• NEVER illuminate UV lamp outside of the UV chamber.
• If accidental exposure occurs, immediately cool affected area and consult physician.
Contamination Hazard
• If UV lamp breaks, avoid inhalation, ingestion, or exposure to eyes and skin. Wear appropriate clothing and personal protective equipment.
• NEVER use a vacuum cleaner to clean up broken UV lamps as this will scatter the mercury. Obey local regulations and guidelines for the removal
and disposal of mercury waste.
WAR NING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Phthalates, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in minor or moderate injury.
Thermal Hazard
• Allow UV lamps, UV chamber to cool for a minimum of 10 (ten) minutes before handling.
• When there is no water flow, the water in the chamber will become hot. To prevent scalding, allow the system to cool for 10 minutes before
draining the system.
Personal Injury Hazard
• UV lamps and quartz sleeves are fragile. Do not strike, bend or apply pressure, or they will break.
• DO NOT handle UV lamps or quartz sleeves with bare hands. Wear rubber or latex gloves to handle previously installed UV lamps and soiled
quartz sleeves to protect against contaminants. Wear cotton gloves to handle new UV lamps and clean quartz sleeves.
Hg Exposure
• The UV lamp contains mercury. If the lamp breaks, then avoid inhalation or ingestion of the debris and avoid exposure to eyes and skin. Never use
a vacuum cleaner to clean up a broken lamp as this may scatter the spilled mercury. Obey local regulations and guidelines for the removal and
disposal of mercury waste.
WARNING
CAUTION
Avoid Injury
• Read and understand this Instruction Sheet before operating and performing any maintenance on this equipment.
System Protection

2.2 Cleaning and Replacing Sleeve
Note: Minerals in the water slowly form a coating on the quartz sleeve. This coating must be removed because it reduces
the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing disinfection performance. If the sleeve can not be cleaned, it
must be replaced.
Prerequisites:
• Shut off water supply and drain all lines.
• Depressurize the unit. Place a small pail under the unit to catch any spills.
• Remove the UV lamp. Refer to Section 2.1.
