The quartz sleeve surrounds and protects the UV lamp, allowing 254 nm germicidal radiation to pass through to the water while keeping the lamp dry and free from debris. Over time, mineral deposits and salt residue (especially in saltwater) accumulate on the outer surface of the sleeve, reducing UV transmission and decreasing the sterilizer's efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach Aqua Ultraviolet replacement sleeve comes with an integrated rubber seal to ensure a perfect seal during installation. It is made of high-quality quartz for maximum UV transmission. Aqua Ultraviolet recommends cleaning or replacing the quartz sleeve with every lamp change (every 14 months) to maintain optimal sterilizer efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuartz Sleeve Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvantage Sleeves (Advantage 2000 \/ 2000+ Series)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 Watt (A10003)\u003c\/strong\u003e — 11-1\/2\" Length.

In saltwater, salt deposits accumulate more quickly — inspect the sleeve every 3 to 6 months and clean it with a mild acidic cleaner (citric acid) if necessary. During installation, handle the sleeve with clean gloves to avoid fingerprints that reduce UV transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTurn off and unplug the sterilizer before any handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWear clean gloves to handle the quartz sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNever force the sleeve into the housing — quartz is fragile and can break\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsure the rubber seal is properly in place before reassembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLubricate the O-rings to ensure optimal sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose ReefSolution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReefSolution offers Aqua Ultraviolet quartz sleeves with fast shipping throughout Canada.

They have different lengths and formats. The Advantage sleeve measures 11-1\/2\" while Classic sleeves measure between 19\" and 36\" depending on the model. Check the part number (PN) on your current sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow often should the Aqua Ultraviolet quartz sleeve be replaced?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer recommends cleaning or replacing the quartz sleeve with each lamp change (every 14 months). In saltwater, mineral deposits accumulate more quickly — inspect the sleeve every 3 to 6 months. A cloudy sleeve reduces UV penetration even if the lamp is new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do the 25W and 57W quartz sleeves have the same length of 19 inches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic 25W and 57W sterilizers share the same compact 20-inch housing format. The 57W lamp delivers higher power in the same format as the 25W. Both quartz sleeves therefore measure 19 inches, but are not interchangeable — each sleeve has a specific diameter and seal for its model.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aqua UV","offers":[{"title":"Advantage 2000+ 8W","offer_id":46436804559019,"sku":"AVA10003","price":84.87,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Advantage 2000+ 15W","offer_id":46436804591787,"sku":"AVA10004","price":84.87,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Classic 25W","offer_id":46436804624555,"sku":"AVA10025","price":106.65,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Classic 40W","offer_id":46436804657323,"sku":"AVA10040","price":120.33,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Classic 57W","offer_id":46436804690091,"sku":"AVA10057","price":106.65,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/7108\/1899\/files\/quartz_sleeve.jpg?v=1775851735","url":"https:\/\/reefsolution.com\/en\/products\/aqua-uv-manchon-quartz-remplacement","provider":"Aquarium ReefSolution inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
