Step by Step UV LAMP REPLACEMENT

You’ve invested in a UV system to make the water at home, cottage or cabin bacteria free for your family by installing a UV system, right? You know that the lamp needs to be replaced after a year of use, but how do you replace it? Can you do it yourself to save money or do you need a licensed plumber? How do you know which replacement lamp you need? How do you reset the countdown timer?

Be sure to protect the areas below the UV system from some water being spilled during the process. You’ll need a bucket and rags to catch the water. Some CLR or vinegar to clean the sleeve and some clean soapy water to wash out the pre filter housing if you’re also changing the filter. I always suggest having a spare quartz sleeve just in case you end up cracking or breaking it during the process.
Note: Be sure not to touch the lamp or the quartz sleeve with your fingers. Handle by ends only or with a clean cloth or wear soft gloves.
1) Unplug the system from the electrical outlet and turn off the water supply to the unit and release pressure by opening a faucet downstream of the UV until water slows to a trickle. Close the valve after the UV system to keep the house water from draining back.
2) Carefully remove the lamp connector from the electrical end by squeezing the plastic locking tabs on the side of the connector. Remove the lamp in an upward direction from the chamber and lamp connector base. Always hold the lamp by it’s ceramic ends. Lamp base can be very hot - be careful not to drop the lamp into the quartz sleeve as both are easily broken.
3) Carefully slide the lamp out of the quartz sleeve and discard.
4) Remove the bottom retaining nut, floating spring, and O ring. Remove the top retaining nut and O-ring.
5) Remove the quartz sleeve. Clean the quartz sleeve with a cloth soaked in CLR, vinegar or some other mild acid and then rinse with water. Note: If sleeve cannot be cleaned completely or it is scratched or cracked, then replace the sleeve.
6) Reinstall the quartz sleeve in the chamber allowing the sleeve to protrude an equal distance at both ends of the chamber. Slide supplied O-rings onto each end of the quartz sleeve. Reinstall the top and bottom retaining nuts, floating spring, and O-rings respectively.
7) Insert the new lamp fully into the chamber leaving about two inches of the lamp protruding from the chamber.
8) Attach the connector to the lamp and note that the connector will only allow correct installation in one position. Push the lamp connector against lamp connector base together until an audible click is heard.
9) Hold down the timer reset button and reapply power to the controller until you see RESET, then release timer reset button. A 5 second delay will occur until you hear an audible tone and LED display will read once again “365”.
10) Slowly open shutoff valves and purge the air from the system at the nearest faucet.
11) Ensure there are no leaks at the end caps before connecting the power to the system.
NOTE: If the UV lamp is over one year old or water has been used in the home without the UV lamp or you suspect there could be bacteria down stream of the UV light, all household plumbing lines should be chemically disinfected.
