Quick Answer
Regular maintenance is essential for optimal performance of UV water purifiers. Check the UV lamp every 6-12 months to ensure it's functioning correctly.
Cleaning the UV Chamber
To maintain the UV chamber, turn off the UV purifier and disconnect the power source. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove any accumulated debris, sediment, or algae. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the chamber.
Replacing UV Lamp and Quartz Sleeve
Replace the UV lamp every 12-18 months, depending on usage. Check the manufacturer’s guidelines for the recommended lifespan of the lamp. When replacing the lamp, also replace the quartz sleeve to ensure optimal UV transmission. Use a wrench to loosen the retaining ring and slide out the old sleeve.
Regular Check-Ups and Maintenance Schedule
