What kind of maintenance is required for the whole house UV system?

Every whole house UV system contains a UV sleeve to protect the UV light bulb. Overtime, minerals in the water may slowly form a coating on the sleeve during normal operation. This coating must be removed from sleeve because it reduces the amount of UV light reaching the water, thereby reducing purification performance. Therefore, it is recommended to use scale removers such as Lime Away™ or CLR™, with soft, lint-free, and chemical-free cloth to remove any coatings adhering to the sleeve. Depending on the quality of the process water, we suggest you clean the sleeve regularly, about 3-4 times a year.
