What is the Quartz Sleeve?
A. The Quartz Sleeve serves three purposes.: 1. To isolate the lamp from the water so the electrical contacts are not shorted out by the water; 2. To create a thermal barrier allowing the lamp to maintain its ideal operating temperature of 104 Degrees Fahrenheit; and, 3. To allow maximum transmission of the UV energy into the water. The Quartz Sleeve is made of pure-fused Quartz which has a transmission rate of approximately 98 percent.
