What is a quartz sleeve?
A quartz sleeve or jacket is a clear, pure fused quartz tube used to protect the high intensity UV lamps in UV purifier systems. It usually retards less than 10 % UV radiation loss. The sleeve restricts the lamp from coming into contact with the water to ensure lamp temperature remains consistent, electrical contacts are not shorted out and to allow maximum transmission of UV to the water. Maintenance required is simply wiping down the sleeve with a damp cloth.
